Apple Updates iPods

Apple released the latest version of its popular iPhone on Tuesday, the iPhone 4S. Apple CEO Tim Cook announced updates to the iPod Nano and iPod Touch. Lower prices and feature and style upgrades will arrive just in time for the holiday shopping season.

The new Touch is Apple's most popular iPod and will now be available in black and white. It will also get a $30 price cut to $199 for 8GB of storage, $299 for 32 GB and $399 for 64GB. The Touch will run Apple's new iOS5 operating system, maintaining its status as an iPhone without a phone. It will ship October 12.

The Nano is receiving a different upgrade. For people who use the 1.5 inch screen as a clock, they will now have 16 clock faces to choose from. The Mickey Mouse watch is now available and Mickey's hands spin around to tell time. It's also lower in price, $129 for 8GB, $149 for 16GB and $49 for 2 GB.
