New iPod nano gets new colors and 24 hour battery life

Steve Jobs broke the Apple news today, announcing the new iPod nano will be available in aluminum silver, pink, green, blue and black.  Apple's all-new iPod nano with aluminum body also has 24 hours of battery life and more than twice the music capacity for the same price as the previous generation. The new iPod nano features Apple’s innovative Click Wheel and an even smaller, thinner and lighter design.

“iPod nano is the world’s most popular digital music player, and we’ve completely redesigned it to make it even better,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “The all-new iPod nano gives music fans more of what they love in their iPods—twice the storage capacity at the same price, an incredible 24 hour battery life and a gorgeous aluminum design in five brilliant colors.”
