iPod nano & iTunes 5.0

Hmmm. Jobs gave us iPod, then iPod mini, then iPod Photo then iPod shuffle, now iPod nano. It looks very cool. It's like and shuffle with 1.5" color screen (176x132 px). It comes in two colors: white and black and can now display photos, has a separate podcast section, a stopwatch, a 4 digit password protection. Lasts as long as 14 hours, weights only 42 grams.
Also, iPod mini, has disappeared from apple store... too bad.
