New iPod Nano
Why is it that a new iPod always seems to come out right after you've purchased one? The latest addition to the iPod family may be the best one yet - set to replace the mini, the new Nano is just over 1/4 inch thin and only weighs 1.5 ounces. The best part is the crisp color display which shows album art or up to 25,000 photos. Add 14 hours of battery life and it may be worth buying a new one.
