Apple announced the new iPod nanos today at their media event. The nano matches up with the circulating rumors of a taller, colorful design.
- Thinnest iPod ever
- Enhanced user interface
- Accelerometer to detect tilt
- Shake iPod to shuffle
- Genius playlist built in
- Aluminum with curved glass
- Battery: 24 hours for music. 4 hours for video.

- 9 Colors: silver, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red, pink, black
The 8GB should be available today, while the 16GB should be available by next week.
Apple also quietly updated the iPod Classic and iPod Shuffle:
- The iPod classic would now only come in a 120GB model, replacing the 160GB and 80GB models that are currently available.

Woot (:
Larger sizes would have been nice. But, these still look wicked anyway.
My friend went to get his iPhone replaced at the Apple Store in Sacramento, CA today and he said there are currently 80+ people in line. No word if they have the actual products or not.
Update: No, they do not have any of the new iPods yet. I ordered one from the Apple store online but the fastest shipping was 2-3 days. This usually indicates they are not ready to ship from the U.S.

Looks like the community was right. Rumors held true, not too many surprises. But a good event none-the-less.

I like it. Love the Accelerometer. I like the Orange version.

What a flop! I, like everyone else, was so excited for this event. I spent the last hour watching updates on Gizmodo and Engadget, and for what? To hear exactly what I already knew was going to happen? This is definitely the most disappointed I have ever been as an Apple supporter. For someone with over 32 gb of music and without AT&T (can't get an iPhone), this event means absolutely nothing to me. The Zune seems awfully tempting right now.

the silver nano is hot! I hope the new MacBooks follow with this aluminium/black style!
