HiPhone is at it again. This phone has a Nano flavor with a rotary type dial below. Sadly those number keys are push-button and so not all that rotary-like.

Some features include quadband GSM, 2.6-inch touchscreen, 1.3 MP camera (video recorder), MP4/ MP3 and Bluetooth, FM. There’s no mention of price, but you would have to buy them in bulk anyway and let’s face it, none of us wants this silly phone.

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.

Belkin offers more accessories for the iPhone and iPod than you can shake a stick at. One of the things that most iPhone or iPod owners do first is add a case to their device to protect it from drops and scratches during daily use.

Belkin has announced new iPod nano 4G cases in two series called the Belkin Micra and Fusion cases. All of the cases are available right now globally except for one pattern of the Micra case called Flow. The Micra cases offer textured graphics and are clear to allow the color of the iPod to be seen. The Micra line includes the Glam, Dusk, Chex, and Flow. All of the cases sell for $19.99 each.

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.

Looks like real honest to God iPod Nano 4G hardware, but you’ll notice it has no Apple logo and it probably is equipped with non-Apple software inside. Call Anakin Skywalker and the rest of the Jedi council. Begun, the clone wars have. Those who don’t visit gadget sites are doomed to buy this thing. You’ll also notice that this clone is thin as an anorexic supermodel, which has us hoping that the Nano 4G will keep its slim form.

iSkin, a maker of protective gear for your iPods and iPhones, recently debuted a case and armstrap for iPod nano 3G owners who like to their players for a jog or to workout at a gym. It is called the iSkin DuoBand for iPod nano 3G and you’ll find it pricing around $40.

The iSkin DuoBand for iPod nano 3G includes a soft silicone layer with another harder layer set in a metallic finish. These two layers reportedly work together to protect your nano from most forms of damage, though we imagine it won’t do much if you drop a weight on it.

For those of you looking for the perfect case to protect your new iPod Nano in style, this one stands out from the crowd. No artwork or obscenely bright colors here, but the new shape is really appealing.

These Factron Quattro Aluminum Jackets are from Mizumori Ado and it they look sturdy. In fact the looks are so nice in an industrial sort of way, I almost want to drop the device on purpose just to see what happens. Unfortunately, these will be sold only in Japan and in extremely limited quantities.

GizMac Accessories, a maker of add ons for iPods and iPhones, recently unveiled some new third generation iPod nano cases. These are called the GizMac Aluminate and GizMac DuraSport. Pricing is set at around $30 for both.

The GizMac Aluminate protects the nano in a mixed shell of aluminum. Built-in screen and click wheel protectors also exist. Accessories which come with the Aluminate include a lanyard and a carabiner clip.

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.

The Groovetoons alarm clock brings a light-hearted cartoon-ish look to a traditional style alarm clock while at the same time providing a modern dock matching your iPod Nano.

The alarm clock comes in 5 colors that match the color of the 2nd generation Nano (green, pink, blue, black and silver) and automatically provides an interface on the iPod for viewing the clock and setting the alarm when docked. The interface is even viewable at night with the Nano’s backlit display.

It comes complete with a snooze button built into the clock and allows you to wake up to your favorite songs that are stored on your iPod. The device will also charge your iPod when docked and the speakers can be used to play your music at any time of the day.

The GrooveToons iPod alarm clock retails for just …
