The redesigned iPod nano has a 2.5-inch multi-touch display and features a tiny home button, just like on larger iOS devices, with integrated Bluetooth and the new smaller Lightning connector.
The new iPod nano is 5.4-millimeters thin, which is 38 percent thinner than its predecessor. It will be available in seven colors: aluminum, black, purple, green, blue, yellow and Product(red).
iPod nano launches in October. It will cost $149 for a 16-gigabyte model. The iPod shuffle will also remain available for $49 in a 2-gigabyte model.
The iPod nano still features an FM tuner with DVR-like functionality for pausing and rewinding. It also has a built-in pedometer with support for Nike+ integration.

Bluetooth is also built in to the device, which means audio can be streamed wirelessly from the iPod nano without any accessories.
It also features Apple's new Lightning connector for iOS devices, which is also found on the iPhone 5.

Apple promises 30 hours of music playback with the new iPod nano, which is the longest battery life of any nano to date.

How long before the "Apple stole the design from Nokia" comments?
I don't like the white screen frame. Seems backward from all their other products.

Love the white frame! Makes it looks different, fresh, and uniquely Apple.
By the way I think this would have been a perfect iPhone Nano. Beautiful functional design.
Mac Rumors has a picture of this device their web site.

Well, it's the 2.5" screen people were yelling about back then. Now they get to see exactly how it works in a device proper.
Doesn't white screw with color perception on the screen?
My favorite announcment of the show(unfortunately almost everything had already been leaked about the iPhone 5). Wasn't expecting this, and it seems like an absolutely perfect workout tool. My only wishlist for the next upgrade would be to squeeze in a gps if possible, but this looks great.
