>> The new iPod Nano has multi-touch. applause It's very tiny. laughter So you can hold it in your, just, in your hand like this. It's amazing. And super easy to use, and it's so small, we're able to put a clip on it, too. So it's instantly wearable. applause So multi-touching's are interface. It's 46 percent smaller, and 42 percent wider. In other words, it's almost half as small and almost half as light as its predecessor. That doesn't happen too often. It's got a clip so no more arm bands when you want to use it for athletics. It's got volume buttons, hard volume buttons. Voice over. FM radio, Nike Plus, speedometer, all sorts of stuff like that. And it works in 29 different languages. So we're really excited about this. It's got 24 hour audio playback. applause Take a look at some of the screens. So you've got a lot of different screens. You've got the home screens, and as you flip through, you've radio and photos and podcasts and settings, and then all different ways to access your music, songs, albums, composers, genres, and this is what it's like when you scroll through it. You can get these nice big letters to find out, you know, where you are. That's what albums look like. It's great to see the album art. Here's some more. The first two are radio up there, the built-in FM radio. Photos, and, again, the home screen. So this is what it looks like. And so let me just flick some of the screens here. Well, first of all, I can go right into music. I can just hit artist and go just right through like this. And let me go to, oh, e. And I want to find Ella Fitzgerald, and I can just play a song. music And, again, I can swipe right and go through, or I can just hold down any place, whoops, not there, and get right back to the home screen. So it's very, very easy to navigate around. Let me show you some of the other screens here. So we've got, again, radio, podcasts, some photos. All different ways of listening to music and all the other stuff I've got here. So let me say I want to, I listen to albums a lot, and I want that on the home page. I can just push down and jiggle it and move it just like I can with my other IOS devices. So now I have albums on the front page. And, again, I can just scroll through here real easy. The last thing I want to show you was, if we go home again. Let's go to the home screen. Let's say I clip this on, and I clip it on upside down. Now, I just take my two fingers and rotate it. applause And change the screen like that. So that gives you a little bit of an idea of the new iPod Touch applause on Nano.
