Apple launches 4th generation iPod Nano

Today the 4th iteratgion of the iPod nano was released. Its specs are confirmed to be the same as the ones that were leaked last week. The screen on the nano is essentially the same as the one on the 3rd generation nano, when it is turned sideways. It is made out of aluminum (similar to the 2gen nano) with curved glass, with a built in acceler0meter ... a la iPod Touch. Apple has said it is the thinnest ipod ever. An interesting addition to the shuffle feature on the iPod using the acceler0meter is that all you need to do is shake the iPod and it switches to a random song on your iPod. The Nano has had minor tweakes to its interface, as well the genius playlist feature has been added. The Nano now comes in 9 colors: silver, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red, pink, black. Princes remain the same as before, but memory has been doubled to $149 for 8GB and $199 for 16GB. Batter life has also been bumped up to audio: 24 hrs video: 4hrs
