The New iPod "Impossibly small"

Apple dropped 'da other bomb today. The Nano (see right) has replaced the popular candy-colored Mini, and after months of speculation the iTunes/Motorola "Rokr" phone was suddenly official. The Nano, which seems to have stolen Rokr's fire, measures 3.5 x 1.6 x 0.27-inch and will be available in 500 song/2GB and 1,000 song/4GB capacities, a 1.5-inch color display. The headphone jack is on the bottom (weird), and it presently comes in solid black or white, but it's got a lot of nice new features and it's just SO DAMN small! Continued...

Priced at $199 for the 500-song model and $249 for the 1000-song version, it's got a click wheel, "Up to 14 hours of battery life," and uses USB instead of the standard Firewire.

Apple also announced a new version of iTunes with new capabilities, but I'm still drooling over the Nano too much to care.
