Sumajin is offering a brand new Ink case for the fifth-generation iPod nano. The case is constructed of 1.5mm-thick high quality silicone and so will protect your Nano 5G from scratches. The Ink case will give you open access to all ports, controls, and the all important camera. So everything is accessible.

The Ink case is available in a whole bunch of colors and retails for $15 each. They don’t destroy the sexiness of your Nano all that much compared to some other cases.

iLuv always comes up with cool new cases for the latest Apple devices and their latest cases for the iPod Nano 5th generation are no exception. They range from hard clear plastic to soft and are all super stylish while protecting your Nano.

The icc306 city series features designs from New York, London, Paris and Sydney. While the icc307 series is all about retro record players, headphones and speakers. The coolest is the icc304 case which makes your Nano look like a camera to go along with the latest iPod Nano feature.

No surprise that we have some new nano cases after the iPod nano announcement last week. Griffin has released two different lines. There’s the iClear Sketch collection, which comes in 13 translucent patterns and colors. They look pretty sweet.

Then there’s the company’s iClear Shade line that offers solid-colored cases that feature graduated tints, while the FlexGrip lines’ silicone cases make it easy to hold on to your device.

Looks like NewTeeVee took the Flip Ultra and did a side-by-side video quality comparison against that new iPod nano that’s all the rage. You might remember that during Apple’s presentation, Jobs took some shots at the Flip line of cameras. So how did the Nano compare to the Flip Ultra?

“Overall — the Flip offered a MUCH better picture both indoor and out, providing way more detail in the image. The Flip microphone was also a little more discerning in our test, able to distinguish our subject’s voice in a crowded room much better than the Nano.”

If you haven’t seen this yet, you’ll want to check it out. The folks over at iFixit.com have taken apart Apple’s new 5th Generation iPod nano with the camera, FM, etc., using some tools that are custom and some that you can find around the house. They have a whole mess of detailed step-by-step coverage and photos that are pretty interesting. See if you can find the typo on the battery warning!

It looks like Jobs and Apple have saved the best for last today as usual with the announcement of the new, updated 5th generation iPod nano. The new and improved nano has a host of new features including a not just a camera but a video camera, Genius mixes, FM radio with Live Pause, Voice Over and a Fitness pedometer that works with Nike.

Even with the tight-lipped Apple team we had heard the rumors that a camera was coming to the iPod and today it is finally here. Apple has implanted a video camera into the iPod nano that can record in either landscape or potrait and can record audio along with it so we’re not making silent movies here. You can then play back the video instantly and hear the audio through a built in speaker! It even comes with 15 cool-looking special effects that can be applied to the video such as Thermal, Mirror, X Ray and more.

Yet another device gets bedazzled by Swarovski crystals. Elton John has launched his own iPod nano lineup. But these Nanos were harmed in the name of a ood cause. To raise money for the Elton John AIDS Foundation. The players are covered in the aforementioned crystals, and can be had in black, green, orange, pink, purple, red, silver, or yellow.

On sale from Goldgenie and Selfridges, the 8GB version will cost you £399.99 while the 16GB model will set you back £449.99. You’ll want to get one quick as each color is only offered in a limited edition of 100. They’ll even throw in “Rocket Man: The Definitive Hits CD” with every order.

Strangely, there have been two separate accounts of a 4GB version of the new and improved nano showing up on store shelves in the Netherlands. Strange because there was no announcement and no mention of a 4GB nano at Apple’s “Let’s Rock” event, so this image is a bit of a surprise. The sources are claiming that this nano comes in all 9 colors and is priced at $169. They appear to be the real deal and some are saying Limited Edition, while others are thinking Apple messed up.

Apple has unveiled its new iPod Nano line, not that it was any big surprise, making it tall and skinny. The large screen takes up half of the surface of the front and it now comes in a wide variety of colors to fit your personality.

But that’s not all. Some other new features are an accelerometer inside, which flips the screen when you rotate the player,. That feature really comes in handy when watching videos and perusing photos. You can also now shake the player to shuffle the songs, which is sure to get old real fast and will have some not too bright users breaking the device in wiimote fashion. I personally can’t wait. The new nanos come in 8GB and 16GB and are available for $150 and $199, respectively.

This morning the Apple Store was down for a little while which usually means they’re bringing on some new stuff. When it came back up we noticed a new Pink iPod nano as the latest addition in the lineup of the 3rd generation players. The new pink model is an 8GB version (4GB only comes in silver) and retails the same as the other 8GB models for $199. Apple is also offering two lines of free engraving on the back and 24 hours shipping so you can get your pink iPod in plenty of time for Valentines day.

If you seek a way to enjoy your iPod nano at the beach without fear of it getting trashed by surfing and swimming, H20 Audio has a new case you’ll want to check out. It is called the H2O Audio iN3 and it’s being shown off at MacWorld this week.

The H2O Audio iN3, priced at around $80, is waterproof up to ten feet and the company recommends you pair it with its waterproof headphones. Features which keep your third generation nano safe from the water while still allowing for usage include an overlay control for the click wheel and a watertight connector which is for use with headphones.

Apple made a quiet release of a firmware update for both the iPod classic and the 3rd generation iPod nano on Saturday. The new version 1.0.2 mostly consists of bug fixes according to Apple but ended up revealing a little bit more once installed. Aside from some improvements on calender and contact synchronization MacNN reported installing the new firmware through iTunes updates and finding upgrades to the Cover Flow making it more similar to iTunes 7.4. The new firmware also had another “Ask” option added to the TV output option which allows users to turn on the TV out mode when the iPod is connected to a device capable of showing video output from the iPod. Nothing too spectacular but little surprises like these are always nice.

With new iPods of course come new iPod accessories. It’s an ever money making cycle for the iPod eco-system. One of the newest announced today for the new iPod nano is the iXoundWear Cap, priced at around $20 and due out likely by November.

iXoundWear, having made head wear for previous iPod models, is taking that skill and applying it to hats for holding the new nanos. Caps will be available in Sports and Running versions, distinguishable the company says by the type of fabric used, and will come in a rainbow of colors to match your iPod. Features include a fabric player pocket, control window to access the Click Wheel and a wire management system.

Today Apple launched the much anticipated, “fatter-style” iPod Nano with a 2-inch, 320×240 resolution video screen at 204 pixels per inch, more than any other current iPod device. The new design is surprisingly similar to the rumored pics that were floating around.

The new iPod Nano measures just 0.26″ thick and weighs 1.74 ounces with a battery that will give up to 24 continuous hours of audio playback and 5 hours of video. It comes in Flash drive capacities of 4GB ($149) or 8GB ($199) and in a choice of 5 different colors, but the 4GB model will only be available in silver.

According to iLounge, a manufacturer named Uniea that makes cases for Apple products such as iPods and MacBook’s has now released a U-Suit branded case for an iPod that has not been announced yet..

The advertisement says the case is designed for the “New iPod” and bears the short, fat design that we’ve seen in a number of the rumored pictures. According to the report, the case “features a soft leather exterior, hard plastic interior with scratch-resistant inner lining, and a front hole sized for a roughly 2.3-inch screen and iPod nano-sized Click Wheel.” Maybe that screen won’t be too small to watch video’s on?
