The iPod nano now has the same resolution screen as the existing video iPod! That's slightly misleading; it's smaller, but has the same number of pixels, so the screen itself is 51mm (2 inches) wide, meaning it's even sharper than the old 64mm video iPod. Its 320x240-pixel resolution will help you enjoy all the videos -- yes, videos -- that it now supports. Who'da thunk it? Well, we've played with it and seen it in action and it's stunning -- video is super smooth and ridiculously crisp.
Like the touch and the classic, the new nano sports a Cover Flow browsing interface, the same floating album art navigation we mentioned the classic has, and now supports games. Electronic Arts has knocked up a lovely Sudoku game that comes preinstalled, but many more are available to buy on the iTunes Store.
So, specs. The nano comes in 4GB and 8GB capacities, costing £99 and £129 respectively. Curiously, the 4GB version comes only in silver (apparently the new white), whereas the 8GB model comes in black, blue, green and (product) red. Battery life for audio clocks in at 24 hours, video for 5. Not bad at all when you consider its minuscule 6.5mm depth.
