As you might have heard or read, Apple is releasing the latest generation of its iPod devices. Weve already seen what new iPod Touch 4G will be capable of, and now next on our list is, what I think the most drastic change / improvement the new sixth generation iPod Nano.

The new iPod Nano, or iPod Nano 6G if you prefer, gets a completely new look with a new LCD display. Thats right, you can say goodbye to the click wheel because iPod Nano 6G is all about multitouch display. With the new 1.54-inch 240�240 multitouch LCD display, the iPod Nano looks even smaller and it resembles the iPod Shuffle in many ways.

Since the click wheel has been removed, this version of the iPod Nano has a minimal design consisting only of volume buttons and sleep/wake button. In addition, iPod Nano 6G gets a clip so now youll be able to attach it on your clothes.

Besides that, this device comes with FM radio and accelerometer, it will feature VoiceOver and will be fully compatible with Nike +. Interestingly this device will come with icon-based UI that will look similar to that seen on iOS.

iPod Nano 6G went through design changes and although its a shame that this version wont have a camera it will boast changes that makes it once again unique from many PMP currently on the market, a characteristic that continues to define Apples products. Two models will be available, the 8GB model will cost $149 and 16GB model $179 if youre in the US and �129 and �159 respectively if youre in the UK.
