Apple unveils its new iPod Nano

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs unveiled new versions of the company’s market-leading iPod media player Wednesday, including an iPod Nano with a 2.5-inch screen for watching movies and playing games.

“It’s incredibly tiny. It’s incredibly thin,” Jobs said of the new Nano, which features a 320-by-240-pixel screen.

The new Nano, which will be in stores starting this weekend, will come in two models: a 4-gigabyte version for $149, and an 8-gigabyte version for $199.

Apple also announced it will be selling ring tones for its iPhone for 99 cents, plus the 99-cent cost of the song.

Ring tones from more than 500,000 songs available on iTunes will go on sale next week.
