While much of the news spreading across the blogosphere is about the newly announced iPhone 4S, there is much to buzz about with the iPod Nano, which gets a facelift of sorts with 16 new clock faces and more importantly to us, new fitness features. The iPod Nano will reportedly feature a more accurate pedometer that won’t require a dongle to connect to Nike+ hardware.
“Right out of the box, you can go on a walk or a run as well, without adding sensors or devices,” said Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide product marketing.
There will also be watchband cases so these can be worn on the wrist. Otherwise the devices are essentially the same, with prices ranging from $129 for the 8GB version to $149 for the 16GB version.
