So in case you haven’t heard, Apple today released a new fangled iPod Nano. The new Nanos more closely resemble the somewhat recently discontinued iPod Minis. They’re now available in gray, green, blue, pink, and black. More importantly Apple has bumped capacity to 8GB, which is available only in Black, and discontinued the 1GB model. A 2 gigger is available, but that only comes in a gray, while the other select colors come in a 4GB capacity. Price for the new Nanos start at $149 and go up to $249 (equivalent in price to the 8GB Sansa we recently featured). Apple’s new Nanos are also boasting (according to the Apple site) an “even brighter color screen” and up to 24 hours of battery life (previous Nanos were rated at 14 hours). The new Nanos measure 3.5″ tall, 1.6″ wide, and “just over a quarter of an inch thin”.

Available at Apple now.
