The nano also gets a larger 2.2-inch screen, in the same form factor as the current unit but in new colors.

The new model also has an FM radio, a feature many iPod owners have long wished for, as well as a pedometer that can read the Nike+ sensor and sync workout data back to the Nike+ website.

The 8GB nano stays the same price, $149, while the 16GB version is $179, down from $199.

"This is our lineup for this holiday season," Jobs concluded. The finale was a performance by Norah Jones.
