What did they do to the Nanos? those are the only Apple products I'm interested in. Their site hasn't been updated yet.

I do like the slick look of the iPhone 5, but the feature upgrade on the Nano is stealing this show, methinks.

I don't think anybody would be surprised to know you'll upgrade. I gather the decision was made long before today's show.
That is what I figured too, from the rote response to the product introduction.

Bluetooth, video, multitouch, widescreen, fitness and pedometer built in, new connector, FM tuner with live pause, funky colours.

It was a tough sell, what with all those other phones with 326dpi screens, massive battery life, global frequency compatibility, the world's largest app and music stores, lightweight and thin aluminium and glass construction, leading industrial design, and so on and so forth.

If you want to snark, I'm sure you can find a circlejerk elsewhere with a very receptive audience.

Agreed. I have an older Nano, and ALMOST got the little square one to use as a watch for the novelty, but passed.

The new Nano is tempting. But, I don't dig the bubble-icons, not that it would be a deal-breaker.

hm. Not the kinds of things that would inspire me to get rid of my 5th gen, but at least they're not so tiny that they'll get lost quite so easily. thanks.

The Nano doesn't actually run apps, does it?

They haven't announced the price but I worry that the screen and size will make it more expensive without a corresponding increase in usefulness. Who wants to watch movies on a 2.5" screen?

I'm pleased that the camera will automatically illuminate my backside. That's a nice new feature.

wow, 16:9

finally matches my phone

I'm eager to see people talking now how 16:9 is perfect for reading because it allows more lines on screen. I'd never been able to convince people about that myself, but now with a bit of Apple magic behind the argument, I think I can do it.
