*sigh* no wi-fi, no widescreen, no touch-screen interface. Sorry folks, the current form-factor lives on for now.

Watching the news at Gizmodo now.

It's been rumored along with multi-player gaming and "iTunes Store-to-go" access. Besides, Zune has wi-fi.

Web Radio, music sharing, store purchases anywhere, syncing, updates, etc.

So far these announcements are pretty lame.

New Nano (from Gizmodo):

It's made out of aluminm, even thinner than the first gen. They're bringing back colors (like the mIni) It looks similar to the Mini, actually.

Battery life increased from 15 to 24 hours, gapless playback, instant search like the big iPod, and quick scrolling. Comes with the new headphones.

Comes in three models, 2GB model in silver, 4GB in silver, pink, green, blue, and 8GB in black.

$149 for 2GB, $199 for 4GB, $249 for 8GB model. Double the storage for the same price.

New packaging is 52% less volume than the old iPod nano. It's more "environmentally friendly".

All three are available today.

Linky for pics

EDIT: What's with all the new high-end Mac stuff coming in black only?

Slingbox shooting to an iPod video would be pretty sweet.

I already do that with my phone. ;)

But it's Orb, not Slingbox.

I wonder what the new dimensions are for the Nano.. looks like they made it longer. If that's the case, it would suck... personally I'd rather see one that is shorter and thicker. I guess I'll wait and see.

Considering I haven't heard anything about the Movie Store, doubtful.

At least they bumped up video resolution (you're still a sucker if you pay for broadcast TV shows though).
