New Apple iPod Nano 5G Gets Video Camera iPod Nano 5G - Lighter than 4G, FM Tuner, Larger Display, Vibrant Colors

It took a long time coming, but the new iPod Nano 5G is here and it
packs some cool new features. The big news at Apple's September 9 event
was that the fifth generation Nano has been announced with a video
camera that shoots live in H.264 format video with VGA quality
(640×480) at up to 30fps. It also comes with AAC audio, as well as
a speaker and a microphone.

Other than being packed with a video camera, the new Nano 5G also has
some cool real time special effects that include Sepia, Black and White,
X-Ray, Film Grain, Thermal, Security Cam, Cyborg, Bulge, Kaleido and
Motion Blur, among others.

Under the hood there's also an FM receiver with a Live Pause feature
like those found in DVR boxes, iTunes Tagging, a pedometer, voice memos,
and VoiceOver support. Another big addition is the larger 2.2 inch
display with a 376×240 pixels resolution.

Although it has the same measurements (3.6 x 1.5 x 0.24 ) as the 4G
iPod, somehow Apple has managed to make it lighter at only 1.28 ounces.
More to it, Apple claims to have encapsulated a better battery for up to
24 hours playback time or 5 hours of video playback.

The 5G iPod Nano will hit the stores in a multitude of colors with the
8GB version priced at $149 and the 16 GB version for $179 and, if you're
