The New iPod Nano Shoots Video, Plays Radio

3:59AM September 10, 2009 | Mark Wilson

As well-documented by the “word on the street“, the fifth generation iPod nano is also a video camera…and radio and a pedometer and a voice recorder too…and it’s available today.

Details:

• Video camera (640×480)
• NO STILL CAMERA
• Integrated mic
• Integrated speaker
• FM Radio!!!!! That you can pause!! And iTunes tag!
• One-click YouTube uploads (through your computer)
• Voice Over like Shuffle
• Pedometer with Nike+ syncing online
• Voice Recorder
• 2.2-inch screen that’s .2 inches larger than last model

Starting today, the 8GB nano will cost AU$199 while the 16GB comes in at AU$249. (So why buy the 8?) What’s the biggest surprise here? The camera we knew about. But the radio? The video support? The total lack of still camera support? I do have to admit, however, if it’s this or a Flip, the nano is certainly more tempting.

    The new nano was definitely the highlight of the show for me. It is clearly targeted at runners and people who like to keep their phone super simple. I can very much imagine going for a run, listening to music, and being able to grab a quick video of whats happening.
