Steve Jobs introduced the new fifth generation Apple iPod nano at their event today. The new 5G nano now has a VGA video camera shooting 640 by 480 pixels, at 30 frames per second. No still picture taking though.
FM radio also (…funny, we always thought Steve disliked radios in iPods …), with pause and rewind. There’s also a built-in pedometer with Nike+ integration. Same general form factor as before, but with an improved 2.2 inch 240×276 display at 204 pixels per inch. The nano has become somewhat PMP-like. 16GB for $179.
During the presentation, Steve showed the following video called Threesie on Threesie, taken with the new nano 5G. While there do seem to be color issues and some compression artifacts in the video, the overall quality is not bad, considering the target market…it helps to shoot on a bright sunny day with its 100,000 ambient lumens:

What’s the most gigs you can get with this now?
I guess Steve Jobs changed his mind about FM radios. Maybe he’ll change his mind about e-readers as well.
Nah, I think Jobs has come out to strongly against e-readers to turn back now.
