Less than a month after the Apple Keynote Conference with the release of the new iTunes, new prices for most of the line, and Snow Leopard OS.X, Apple has dropped another long awaited product into its store. The iPod Nano, gadget of the young mum and fitness freak, has been re-released in more colours, with FM radio, and with a video camera.

So…the nitty gritty. The new iPod has been released for £115 for 8gb and £135 for the 16gb one, so basically it’s a grand deal and we would definitely go for the 16gb version for only 20 bob more. Bargain.  Oh, and it will give you 24hrs of listening and 5hrs of video. Apparently.

The iPod has an FM radio too, the first on any iPod or iPhone, which alone will be a much loved feature. However, in addition to the radio is DAB-like live pause, enabling you too, as the name would suggest, pause Radio 1 (or Radio 4 if you’re a trendy old person who happens to be reading EchoBlog…unlikely).

Our new best friend of an iPod also has something called Genius mixes, which uses the power of genius to automatically play playlists of music similar to your favourite tunes (choons?) while your jogging. Or windsurfing. Or getting immensely drunk (you know it).

Oh…the iPod will also be your best friend during your long distance runs and marathons. Yep, that’s right, it’s got Nike + iPod and an inbuilt pedometer, so you’ll know how far from home you’ve gone, and how many Krispy Kremes you’ve burnt off while listening to your pumping beats.

Basically, the iPod Nano is the same iPod nano, but much much cooler, with cooler colours, a really sexy video camera, and a slightly bigger screen. We probably forgot to mention that but it does.
