The 2010 6G touchscreen iPod nano.
Apple completely redesigned the iPod nano in 2010, announcing the 6th generation (6G) model on Sept. 1. The new model is nearly square and has a square 1.5" 240 x 240 pixel touchscreen interface with multitouch. The 2011 iPod nano is pretty much exactly the same as the 2010 model, except that it comes with a new operating system installed. (Owners of the 2010 Nano can download and install it for free.) As before, there is a Product(Red) model that is an Apple Store exclusive.
Apple trimmed $20 from the price of the 8 GB model and $30 from the 16 GB Nano.
Missing compared to the 2009 5G model are the video camera, the microphone, the larger 2.2" rectangular 376 x 240 screen (better for video), and the scrollwheel. But the smaller 6G model is even easier to take with you, as it has a built-in clip.
The 2009 iPod nano.
The video camera on the 5G supports 640 x 480 VGA resolution at 30 frames per second using H.264 compression. It introduced an FM radio with a 15 minute buffer (so you can pause and rewind radio broadcasts) and song tagging as well as a pedometer; both remain in the 6G. The headphone cable acts as the FM tuner's antenna.
Because of the breadth of the iPod family, we have separate iPod price trackers for the nano, classic iPods, the iPod touch, and the shuffle.
iPods aren't just for music, photos, and video; they're also a great way to backup important files and transport files between computers. For our overview of the current iPod lineup (excluding the iPod classic, which is unchanged from 2009), see The 2010 iPod Value Equation.
