Watch: Apple officially kills off iPod nano, iPod shuffle product lines

You can also buy the 128GB iPod Touch for $299.

End of an era. Remember that the iPod Nano was when Apple started buying up all the available NAND, and I don't think they've stopped doing that since the Nano.

Crazy. I love having a small ipod for working out, power walking etc. why do they keep killing off pieces of the I pod family? I have no intention of using an iphone for workouts.

Have you considered an Apple Watch? It's even smaller and lighter, and you can use BT headphones, so by the time you're ready to replace your iPod you'll probably already have BT headphones, which also have a benefit of no cord flopping around.

I'd been recently eying the nano as a dedicated workout player - there is a bit of a price and wearable footprint difference for the watch! Perhaps 'back2school' is a consideration...?
