Both the iPod Touch and iPod Nano got a little attention, with none of the other iPods really mentioned. The iPod Nano now has larger icons for easier navigation (a must when you have a multitouch screen so small); the ability to track your walks and runs (time, pace, distance, calories, steps) right out of the box, no accessories required; and, inspired by those that saw this iPod a year ago and thought, 'That would make an excellent watch,' the option of 16 new clock faces. Apple's got everything from classic analog to Mickey Mouse. Take your pick and wear it with pride, folks.
ZoomThe iPod Touch is getting the all-important iOS 5 update. Hailed as the world's most advanced mobile operating system (by Apple, of course), iOS 5 will bring more than 200 new features to the iPod Touch, including iMessage, which will bring the ability to send texts, photos, videos and contact information to other iOS 5 users; Game Center improvements; Notifications; Wi-Fi syncing to iTunes; and iCloud, Apple's set of free cloud services that allow you to store your iTunes, Photo Stream, and documents in the cloud and access it from your phone, iPad, iPod or Mac or PC.
ZoomThe iPod Nano is available in either 8GB or 6GB capacities, costing $129 and $149, respectively. The iPod Touch with iOS 5 and iCloud will be available from October 12 in your choice of black or white and 8GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities. Pricing for these is $199, $299 and $399, respectively.
