My New 8GB iPod Nano

The new iPod nano’s most obvious change from the previous model is the Return Of Tall. At 3.6 inches tall, 1.5 inches wide, and just 0.24 inches thick, the new nano recalls the days of the first- and second-generation models, although it’s slightly taller, narrower, and thinner than those models.

The two new 4G nano models double the capacity of their predecessors, offering 8GB of flash memory for US$149 and 16GB for just $50 more. Apple has also gone back to the wraparound, anodized-aluminum design of the 2G nano, increased the number of available colors from six to nine–black, silver, pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple–and made those colors much more vivid. Each model is available in all nine colors.
