During today's Apple "Let's Talk iPhone" event at the company's Cupertino headquarters, Phil Shiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, announced some exciting updates for the iPod Nano and iPod touch.

The latest iPod Nano offers compact design, multitouch display, volume buttons, integrated clip, internal pedometer, and FM radio. As of today, Apple is currently selling two nano sizes: 8GB ($129) and 16GB ($149) in seven different colors.

With the release of the iPhone 4S, Apple has made some drastic updates to the iPod touch. The 960-by-640 backlit LCD display screen now consists of 326 pixels per inch, making this the highest resolution iPod to date – a must for mobile gamers. iPod touch cameras are equipped to shoot 720p HD video, even in low-light conditions. Most notably, the iPod touch now uses iOS 5 software which sports 200 new features, including iMessage, a new free WiFi texting service, and Twitter integration. The updated iPod touch with iOS 5 and iCloud will be available Oct. 12 in classic black or white in 8 GB ($199), 32 GB ($299), or 64 GB ($399).

In case you missed it, your new iPod Nano isn't just good for running and playing music - it can also double as a totally chic wristwatch. The iPod Nano watch trend may be cooling off, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy one of these eight awesome designs that will keep you moving and grooving. Check them all out here!

Guess the Price Tag!

Turning your iPod Nano into a wristwatch is nothing new, but ZShock is taking things to new heights with the diamond-encrusted LunaTik iPod Nano case. BGR recently ordered its own custom creation (which can include different metals, colors, and diamonds) and says each wristwatch takes about a month to craft. That should give you some time to save up the dough to pay for it. Can you guess how much this custom job costs?

HEX Churns Out a Nano Sport Watch Band For the Ladies

Kristy Korcz — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 13:04:46 PDT

Sport wristbands for the iPod Nano are a dime a dozen these days, and while HEX just recently announced its Nike Plus-compatible model, it's also releasing a line of Sport Watch Bands for the ladies.

Coming in four colors and in smaller sizes, these HEX Sport Watch Bands ($30) are perfect for small wrists. Still sporty, the lady versions boast a slimmer profile too, so the band doesn't look like it's eating your wrist. They're available now, so check out more pics in the gallery if you're so inclined.

Nike Plus Users: Check Out the New HEX Sport Watch Band For iPod Nano

Kristen Hawley — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 04:00:31 PST

Almost as soon as the newest iPod Nano was announced, manufacturers scrambled to capitalize on both its shape and clock feature by creating a ton of watch band straps for the device. The newest of these products, the HEX Sport Watch Band, is made for working out - in addition to complete protection for your Nano, the band provides a port for your Nike Plus.

Available in April (colors and pricing will be announced then), the band features a "pop in, pop out" design for the Nano. Integrated control buttons give the user complete control, and the entire band is made from perforated premium silicone for breathability and comfort. And similar to the Speck TimeToRock strap that I love so much, the HEX Sport Watch Band also has a second band that keeps the cord from getting in the way.

Nike Plus is a simple way to enhance your workout. A sensor plugs into the iPod, and another sensor in your shoe communicates to motivate you while recording your progress. And since the iPod Nano is perfect for runners, I can't wait to give it a try.

Speck Gets in the iPod Nano Wrist Strap Game

iPod Nano wrist straps aren't anything new, but Speck is getting in the game with their own version that can also double as a handy cord organizer. Called TimetoRock, this watch band allows you to jam along with your tunes, check the time, and gives you easy access to your sleep/wake, volume controls, and headphone jack, and it comes with two adjustable arm bands (small and large) that keep your earbud cords close to your arm so you don't constantly catch them on obstacles. Door handles would be a big offender.

Speck's TimetoRock is available now in a variety of colors for $25.
