iPod Nano!
0
From Engadget:
Well, looks like Apple?s updating their iPod mini lineup too, but certainly not before introducing (yet) another addition to their iPod starting lineup?the iPod nano. It will feature 500 song/2GB and 1,000 song/4GB capacities, a color display, and, of course, a click wheel. The device is no more than 62% the size of the already diminutive iPod mini, weighs 1.5 ounces (42 grams), will come in black (as well as iPod white), and includes a few new niceties such as a nighttime inverse screen mode for the $199 and $249 pricetag. Dock ($29) not included, but lanyard headphones will be available for $39.
Also, the Rokr.
Interesting! That looks pretty hot. Too bad it’s not a video iPod though. Ever slowly we inch closer…
Today is the big day…

Any minute now, Apple is going to make their announcement about something NEW AND GREAT! What will it be? An iTunes phone? Maybe. An iTunes Video Store? That would be rad. Of course, if that were the case, a video iPod would also be necessary. I was supposed to be at the Moscone Center to hear the announcement, but I got to work too late. I’ll find out soon and let everyone (who is everyone?) know. I was rooting for the phone for a long time, but then I found out that:
- You cannot uploud your own music to the phone from your computer.
- Each song that you buy from your phone will cost you $2 instead of $.99. Lame!
I’m hoping that Apple still have the ability to surprise, and unveils something that no one was expecting. But honestly? I doubt it.
UPDATE!
I’m a liar. You can use you own music on the phone, according to Apple.
I must own you.

In other “inexplicable items Veronica covets” news, this USB device is dangerously adorable. I have to get off Shiny Shiny right now and sternly tell myself that I do not need a USB flash drive shaped like a little monster. Why must they torment me so??
