iPO Reports - Apple Refreshes iPod Shuffle and Nano Line [Updated]

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007 at 1:15 PM - by

Apple announced on Wednesday a refresh of their iPod shuffle and the iPod nano. There are new colors for the shuffle and a larger case and display for nano.

The new shuffle colors were described by TMO staff as muted maroon, silver, steel blue, aqua and a green-gray. A [RED] version was also announced.

In response top customer requests, Apple has changed the iPod nano to include a larger display, 320 x 240 pixels, that now supports both Video and Cover Flow. To achieve this, the density is 204 pixels per inch, the highest Apple has shipped to date. The new nano is slightly squatter to accommodate the resized display and the 8GB nano comes in the same colors as the new shuffle.

2 questions, is this screen as dim as it looks? I got all excited when I saw it was 204 ppi, as I'm always concerned about pixel density in all manner of screens. Next, am I the only one who thinks maybe this is going a bit overboard? I kinda thought the Nano would stay down at the "audio only" end of the iPod pool with Shuffle. If there is a really big market for this...well I won't be totally shocked. Of course, I was skeptical of the iPod when it first came out, and we see how that turned out
