Apple on Wednesday unveiled the new iPod nano, adding a video camera, mic and speaker to the popular music player.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs introduced the new product at the "Rock and Roll" event held in Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. It is Jobs' first appearance at such product launch event since he had a liver transplant in spring.
Users can instantly watch the video they shoot with the iPod nano's display and speaker, and they can also sync the music player with computers and share them on the internet, Jobs introduced.
According to Apple's press release, the new iPod nano also features an ultra-thin and sleek design with a larger 2.2-inch color display, as well as a built-in FM radio and pedometer.
Also at the event, Apple introduced new iTunes 9, enabling users to better manage and organize applications they get for the iPhone and iPod Touch from the iTunes store. A new lineup of iPod Touch was also introduced.
Hours before the much anticipated event, Apple also slashed the prices of its iPod models. The price of the basic iPod shuffle now starts at 59 U.S. dollars.
Since the original iPod debuted in 2001, Apple has been refreshing the music player's lineup in September to gear up for the holiday shopping season.
