Steve Jobs announced the 4th generation iPod Nano today. The new Nanos are reincarnated in the same avatar as its 1st and 2nd generations albeit with an oval body. It’s the thinnest iPod in Apple’s arsenal and despite the slim form factor it packs a punch. It has a built-in accelerometer (just like iPhone and iPod touch) to control gestures, slick UI, Genius playlist support and shake to shuffle. This iPod is also the greenest device ever created by Apple. The Nano will sell for $149 for 8GB and $199 for 16GB in 9 different hues.
The old iPod Classic line has been shelved altogether making way to the only available 120GB Classic. This makes the Classic run head to head against the 120GB Zune announced yesterday. 120GB Classic ships from Apple store for $249. iPod Touch also entered into its next generation with a minor bump in features and design. The new Touch now has contoured design, built-in speaker, Nike+ integration and Genius playlist. There are loads of games also coming to Touch making it a handy gaming device. 8GB/16GB/32GB going for $229/$299/$399 respectively.
