Apple Introduces All New iPod nano

World’s Most Popular Music Player Now Plays Video

SAN FRANCISCO–September 5, 2007–Apple today introduced the all new iPod
nano, bringing video playback, an enhanced user interface featuring Cover
Flow, and an incredible new design to the world’s most popular music
player. The new iPod nano features a larger two-inch display with 204
pixels per inch, which lets users watch their favorite movies, TV shows and
music videos in the same resolution they currently enjoy on the video iPod.
iPod nano also includes three fun games, and additional games can be
purchased from the online iTunes Store (www.itunes.com). iPod nano delivers
up to 24 hours of audio playback or five hours of video playback on a
single charge, and is encased in a beautiful new all-metal design made with
anodized aluminum and polished stainless steel and comes in five new
colors–silver, black, blue, green and a (PRODUCT) RED special edition.

“We’ve taken the most popular music player in the world and added stunning
video playback just in time for the holiday season,” said Steve Jobs,
Apple’s CEO. “The iPod nano just keeps getting better and better with each
new generation.”

The all new iPod nano features a 204 pixel per inch display that is 65
percent brighter than the previous generation and delivers 320×240
resolution that is perfect for watching your favorite movies and TV shows
on the go. iPod nano also features an enhanced user interface that shows
off album artwork and photos like never before, and now includes Cover
Flow, so you can scroll through your entire music collection by album cover
artwork using the Click Wheel.

The all new iPod nano is perfect for playing iPod games and comes
pre-loaded with iQuiz, the entertainment trivia game; Vortex, a fast-paced
360 degree brick-bashing game; and Klondike, the popular solitaire card
game. Additional games will be available for iPod nano later this month
from the iTunes Store, including Sudoku and Tetris from Electronic Arts and
Ms. PAC-MAN from NAMCO.

iPod nano works seamlessly with iTunes so you can import, manage, and then
easily auto-sync your favorite content. Buy music, video, and games for
your iPod nano from the iTunes Store with more than six million songs
available for preview and one-click purchase. With up to 24 hours of audio
playback or five hours of video playback on a single charge,* the all new
iPod nano is the ultra-portable way to enjoy your favorite music, TV shows
and movies on the go.
