Apple overhauled the wee nano too this week, whipping out the paintbrush and squeezing in a bigger screen for watching videos with less squinting.
The new nano boasts a 2in screen, with a decent display resolution of 320x240 pixels. Again, like the new iPod Touch and iPod Classic, it comes with Cover Flow for flipping through your tunes via album covers.
The aluminium chassis is newly tweaked and the nano now comes in silver, black, blue, green and a special edition red. It also comes pre-loaded with a few games, including iQuiz, an entertainment trivia game, Vortex, a frenetic 360 degree brick-bashing game and Klondike, a version of Solitaire. New games like Sudoku, Pac-Man and Tetris will be available for download on iTunes later in the month.
Audio playback time is rated at 24 hours and five for hours for video. Shipping now, the 4GB iPod nano comes in silver for £99 but if you want the funkier black, blue, green and red versions you’ll have to shell out for the 8GB version at £129.-Martin Lynch

Why, for the love of god, did they make it square. Ugliest ipod ever, without a doubt (and I was never keen on the 1st and 2nd gen designs).
My suggestion was to take the body of the old nano, flip it 90degrees, and put the screen on horizontally, lengthways across the body, with the scroll wheel to one side. The old nano was a good shape; square isn't practical.

I think that's a matter of opnion. I think it's goodlooking as far as diddy-gadgets go. If Apple's target market for the nano is people who like technology on the go in a [stylish] package then this isn't far off the mark
