It's official, the new 2008 iPod nano goes back to its longish shape with an elongated display you turn on its side to watch videos in widescreen format. Looks like the leaks, rumors and spyshots whe have been seeing the past couple of weeks were true after all. Wonder how Apple feels about his?

Another significant feature of the new nano is a motion sensor which will adjust the orientation of the display and also allow you to shuffle music with a shake. It will come in 8GB (S$248) and 16GB (S$328) versions with nine different colors to choose from.

The iPod classic remains largely the same except for capacity. Instead of a thinner 80GB model and thicker 160GB one, there will now only be a thin 120GB iPod classic which will
go for S$398.

The iPod touch has also been updated. It is now thinner and has a curved back, in line with the design of the iPhone 3G. Another significant hardware improvement is the integration of the Nike+ receiver into the touch--runners using the Nike+ system will require only the transmitter in the shoe. Like the last generation, this iPod will come in 8-, 16- and 32GB varieties at lower prices of S$388, S$498 and S$648, respectively.

Also noteworthy are the new in-ear headphones with mic. Not only are these supposed to produce great sounds, they also come with a built-in microphones so you can record your voice using any of the above-mentioned new iPods.
