The new iPod Nano slimmed way down this year. It’s 46 percent smaller and 42 percent lighter than the previous model – making it almost Shuffle size. But the biggest change is the Nano's new touch screen. It will run an OS similar to the iPhone's, with square icons representing each feature. The Nano loses the video camera it had in its last iteration, but gets VoiceOver, FM radio, and a pedometer.

The new design, which includes a clothing clip, will come with 8 gigabytes of memory for $149 or 16 gigs for $179.
