Say hello to the new iPod Nano, now featuring a video camera. Mind you, the video is standard definition, but it's still a compelling feature on an iPod. After all, the best camera, as Wired.com's shutterbug Charlie Sorrel would say, is the one you carry around everywhere with you. That's exactly what Apple had in mind with this upgrade. Heck, given the puny size of this thing (3.6 inches tall; 1.5 inches wide; 0.24 inch thin), you could call this a sexy spy camera. (Note: It doesn't shoot stills, but we'll see if we can find a workaround for that.)
Here's something that's not so sexy: The camera and the mic are on the bottom left of the back of the iPod. If you're right handed, you're probably going to accidentally cover the mic and camera with your finger when you're shooting video. That could take some time to get used to.
In terms of overall looks, we like the new Nano. It's got a shinier look thanks to its polished anodized aluminum, and the corners are less pointy than its predecessor's. Both pluses.
Other new features on the Nano include an FM radio, a pedometer that works with Nike + and voice recording. After some thorough testing, Wired.com will provide a full review of the iPod Nano. Meanwhile, check below the jump for more artsy photos of the iPod Nano, courtesy of Wired.com photographer Jon Snyder.
The iPod Nano comes in two models: 8GB for $150 and 16GB for $180. It's available today (although the San Francisco store wasn't carrying any, last we checked).
