Apple today announced their complete new line of iPods, including a whole new 3rd-generation Nano, updated iPod Classic, and a new iPod Touch which is basically the iPhone without the phone. They also dropped the cost of the 8GB iPhone by $200 and discontinued the 4GB iPhone (good move). This should make the decision for a lot of people to cancel their contracts and move to the iPhone/AT&T a whole lot easier (ahem, Mike!)
Amazing technology… glad I skipped a generation of Nanos so I can get the new one with the video screen.
The new Nano also works with the Nike+ sport kit, so this is a no-brainer for me! I can use it for my running, and have an extra video player and gaming machine around which is key for my kids. They seem to monopolize my iPhone when we’re out… so this solves that problem too! The 8GB black Nano is ordered.

Too bad I just bought a 2gb just for running, but I have a 40gb video for the truck - tied into a kenwood controller that displays all the info on my headunit and allows me to change songs on the remote.
Pics?

That’s cool… I’m still trying to find an easy way to tap mine into my ride’s head unit.
I checked the status of my new Nano at the Apple store tonight and it’s been engraved and being prepared for shipment already!!

I’m hoping to get a new Nano in the next couple of months. One of my coworkers challenged me to walk 100 miles in 16 weeks and if I succeed, he’ll pay me $2 per mile. I’m definitely interested in hearing your thoughts on the new Nano once you get it. For now, I’ll have to be content with my 4Gb 2nd Gen Product(RED) iPod nano and 80Gb 5.5G iPod video.

Right on, Chris. Good luck with the challenge!! I’ll be posting my review at RUNNER+ when I get it. Right now the “Ships by: Sep 6 - Sep 10″ has me concerned :)
