Apple to launch Fifth-Generation iPod Nano

For the first time, Apple's annual reinvention of its most popular music player isn't about aesthetics-in fact, the new Nano is the same size as the old one and differs visually only its slightly larger screen and slightly smaller clickwheel, the camera on its backside, and the slicker and more vividly colorful finish on its aluminum case. But the latest Nano carries more new features than any of more outwardly revised predecessors. Much of what Apple has added has nothing to do with music: The Nano is now a video camera, a stand-alone voice recorder, and a pedometer. And the major new music feature, an FM radio. The new Nano doesn't match every single-purpose product in every respect, but the improvements add up to a fun upgrade that retains a logical place in the iPod family even in the era of the much fancier and more versatile iPod Touch.
