After summarizing the existing iPod product line, Jobs explained that the iPod mini is what all of Apple's competitors are aiming for. Apple is "going to do something pretty bold," he said. Apple is "replacing it with something new."

Jobs calls the iPod nano "an entirely new ground-up design, that also has 1000 songs in your pocket." The white device features a color display and can support photos, uses a grey click wheel to navigate, and is 80 percent smaller in volume than the original iPod -- thinner than a number two pencil, said Jobs. The iPod nano weighs 1.5 ounces or 42 grams

Compared to the iPod mini, the iPod nano is half the thickness and 62 percent smaller by volume. It uses a 30-pin dock connector, so the iPod nano plugs in to existing iPod accessories, and can also connect using USB 2.0. It features a 14-hour rechargeable abattery.

The iPod nano also features a new graphical clock, games, stopwatch and lap timer, and a screen lock that uses the click wheel like a combination lock.

did anyone else notice that the .mac tab on the apple site is not responding?  could have something to do with syncing your iphone

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Apple(R) today introduced
the iPod(R) nano, a revolutionary full-featured iPod that holds 1,000 songs
yet is thinner than a standard #2 pencil and less than half the size of
competitive players. The iPod nano features an ultra-portable, lightweight
design with a gorgeous color screen, Apple's patent pending Click Wheel and
the ability to hold 1,000 songs or 25,000 photos. iPod nano works seamlessly
with the iTunes(R) Music Store, the world's number one digital music service.
The iPod nano is available immediately in a 4GB model priced at just $249 and
a 2GB model priced at just $199, with both models available in stunning white
or black designs.
    "iPod nano is the biggest revolution since the original iPod," said Steve
Jobs, Apple's CEO. "iPod nano is a full-featured iPod in an impossibly small
size, and it's going to change the rules for the entire portable music
market."
    iPod nano is the perfect combination of innovative design, storage
capacity and ease of use. Thinner than a standard #2 pencil and weighing only
1.5 ounces, iPod nano comes in two models -- the 4GB iPod nano holds up to
1,000 songs and the 2GB iPod nano holds up to 500 songs. iPod nano features
Apple's innovative Click Wheel for precise, one-handed navigation, and its
ultra-portable design fits into even the smallest pocket making it easy to
take iPod nano to the gym, in the car, traveling, commuting or anywhere you
go.
    The most fashionable and wearable iPod ever, the iPod nano features
optional accessories including lanyard headphones, which integrate the
headphone cables into the lanyard, so users can wear their iPod nano around
their neck without dangling headphone cables. For customers looking to
personalize their iPod nano with colors, an optional set of iPod nano Tubes in
pink, purple, blue, green and clear offers fashionable protection in a sheer
casing while enabling full operation of all functions including the Click
Wheel. Optional armbands available in gray, pink, blue, red and green allow
users to wear their iPod nano as the ultimate fashion and sports accessory.
    iPod nano features the same 30-pin dock connector as the iPod and iPod
mini, allowing it to work effortlessly with a wide range of over 1,000
accessories developed for iPod, including home stereo speakers and iPod car
adapters for an incredible music experience at home or in the car.
    Featuring seamless integration with the iTunes Music Store and the iTunes
digital music jukebox, iPod nano includes Apple's patent pending Auto-Sync
technology that automatically downloads a user's digital music collection,
photos or Podcasts onto iPod nano and keeps it up-to-date whenever iPod nano
is plugged into a Mac(R) or Windows computer using USB 2.0. With its stunning,
high-resolution color screen, iPod nano allows users to display album art
while playing music, view photo slideshows or play games in full color. iPod
nano features up to 14 hours battery life* and completely skip-free playback,
as well as new stopwatch, world clock and screen lock applications.

    Pricing & Availability
    The 4GB and 2GB white and black models of iPod nano for Mac or Windows are
available worldwide immediately for a suggested retail price of $249 (US) and
$199 (US) respectively, through the Apple Store(R) (http://www.apple.com), Apple's
retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers. All iPod nano models include

10.3.4 or later and iTunes 4.9 (or later); or a Windows PC with a USB 2.0 port
and Windows 2000, XP Home or Professional (SP2) and iTunes 4.9 (or later).

    Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple
II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh.
Today, Apple continues to lead the industry in innovation with its award-
winning desktop and notebook computers, OS X operating system, and iLife and
professional applications. Apple is also spearheading the digital music
revolution with its iPod portable music players and iTunes online music store.

Updated shuffle dammit!!!

the 2GB nano only costs $50 more than the 1 GB shuffle.
shuffle
0.5GB $99
1GB $149

nano
2GB $199
4GB $249

I was hoping the rumors regarding a price cut for the shuffles would be accurate.

My friend's dog ate my shuffle so I have $100 to spend on a new one.

Rumor sites predicted the lineup would be updated like this:

512mb $69
1gb $99
2gb $149

Would've been nice.

There going to sell A LOT of those iPod nanos!

the headphone jack is on the bottom?????
