NEW IPOD IS HERE.

The iPod nano is next. They’re going through the generations of iPod nano, saying that the 2nd gen (tall and silver) was much beloved. But the third had video.

The new nano: it’s exactly what we’ve seen. Skinny, rounded, and a lot like the 2nd gen Nanos. Portrait aspect ratio plus the exact same resolution display. It’s oval, and just as tall as the iPod Nano 2G.

The front is curved glass, it’s the “thinnest iPod ever”, has an enhanced user interface plus an Accelerometer. The body is curved aluminum. You can create Genius playlists directly on the nano.

While the music is playing, he can rotate the nano sideways to get coverflow mode (like the Touch and iPhone). Apple definitely took a lot of design elements from the two touchscreen devices to make this.

Battery life: 24 hours music, 4 hours video. Jobs reiterates that it’s the thinnest iPod ever.

They’re also announcing accessories including headphones and armbands. The headphone, actually, has an in-band control feature to have volume control, playback control (next, prev, play pause) from the button. There’s also a microphone on the back that works with the voice recording app. These will be $29 next month.

Apple’s also announcing a new in-ear headphones, with two drivers each (woofer + tweeter) and will be $79. Jobs says “they finally got it right this time”, which is good because the old in-ear ones kind of suck.
