Apple launches new iPod Nano

There is always much media  speculation at any Apple media event as to what new products will be launched and announced.  This time was no different with fever pitch speculation as to if  Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs would make an appearance following a liver transplant.  Yes Jobs did appear at the event and appears to be back in control of the company.



The key announcement at the event was the launch of a new version of the iPod Nano which now includes a video camera, an FM radio, a Pedometer and a microphone and speaker.   Neat very neat.  I like the idea of the pedometer and the FM radio.  This would encourage you to take your iPod with you wherever you go and to have a camera on hand is an added bonus.    I think this new Nano is going to be a winner.

It will be interesting to see what type of traction it gets... Just how many devices does one need in the pocket/purse?

A smartphone does all of that except the "FM" part of the radio, but you can get to pandora and slacker radio...

Edurado.. yes I agree on the "how many gadgets does one person need" line. I think Apple are on winner with the new Nano as advise you can take with you when you don' need a phone and still be able to take photos, videos and listen to FM radio.
