The nattily designed new iPod nano measures just 1.48 inches by 1.61 inches by 0.35 inches and weighs in at a slender 21.1 grams.
For such a small gadget, the battery life is also impressive, with 24 hours of music playback in addition to an FM radio. The new iPod nano is thought to be the smallest music player on the market and even boasts a clock face to make it look like a watch
Dubbed the 'iWatch', the latest addition to the iPod family boasts a clock face which appears at the touch of the power button but still allows users to view pictures and track your movements.
'It’s very tiny and instantly wear able,' said Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. 'It even has a clock - one of our board of directors says he’s going to wear it as a watch.'
The tiny player is similar in function to the iPod and iPhone also boasts a 'multi-touch' screen, allowing more than one finger to be used on the screen at once.
It's thought that manufacturers will be quick to exploit the clock function of the new player by flooding the market with detatchable watch straps.
Several other new iPods have gone on sale. The fourth-generation of iPod Touch has a new slimline appearance and now uses the same high-definition screen as the iPhone 4.
New front and rear-facing cameras complete the make-over whilst the new budget iPod shuffle now costs just £39.
Gamers were also kept happy with the release of new iPhone software which allows for live competition gaming with other iPod and iPhone users worldwide
