Apple iPod Nano 5G | Video, Mic, Pedometer, FM Radio
The Mighty New iPod Nano
(3)
Despite a relatively good track record by the Apple rumor mill for predicting the company’s latest breakthrough before its official announcement, today’s details regarding the new iPod Nano came as a refreshing surprise. Contrary to ideas circling the iPod touch (which did receive updates, though less than imagined) Apple instead gave the iPod Nano the majority of love today by adding a video camera & mic, Genius playlisting, radio, voice recording, speaker, and a pedometer. Capitalizing on the device’s optional 8 or 16 GBs of memory, owners should have plenty of space for recording video clips. It’s also what enables the new “live pause” radio feature, where users can pause their current station to record up a 15 minute buffer they can then catch up with.
Essentially all of these features now makes it the überPod for active lifestylers and a strong competitor to challenge the Flip Mino’s portable video camera dominance. As if that weren’t enough, it now comes in a polished anodized aluminum case, has a slightly larger screen, pairs with the new iTunes 9, and weighs only 1.3 oz. Needless to say, we want one.

Cost: $149 (8GB) | $179 (16GB)

i see now the thinking in adding video but no camera (crazy that it is easier to do that now…) but gotta admit slightly po'd that Touch didn't get a camera… was (cheaply) fired up for that…
Yea I was really hoping to see the touch get the camera as well. Video on that screen combined with apps and PMP would have made it an outstanding device as a gift. So much thinner than the iPhone too. Oh well, you know it'll happen eventually anyway.
Um. The Nano comes in 8GB or 16GB. The 4GB was discontinued quite a while ago.
I like the sound of the radio. I bought one of those separate radio/headphone combos for my old Nano and I had to stop using it cos it kept stuffing everything up (it seemed to magically turn the power of my Nano on and off at its own discretion…).
does it have a pedometer for your bike?
