Steve Jobs iPod Nano Video and CNET Review

Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs got the crowd hyped as he introduced the new iPod nano which is "thinner than a No. 2 pencil" and called the "biggest revolution since the original iPod." The gadget can hold up to 1,000 songs and is about 80 percent smaller than the original iPod. CNET has a video of Steve Jobs presentation, as well as an iPod nano review that highlights the device's upside and downside.

Excertp:
Outlook:  Apple's done it again. By virtue of a sweet design backed by decent tech (first 4GB flash player, photo-friendly color screen), Apple will keep its ball rolling swiftly into the holiday season. The Nano's capacity will turn off many experienced MP3 fans, but we have a feeling that newbies will flock to the next big thing and help maintain Apple's 74 percent U.S. market share for all digital audio players.

Apple iPod Nano ships today and will be in stores in a few days.  A selection of accessories are also on the way in the next four weeks.
