Orange iPod nano 5th generation

Orange iPod nano 5th generation

Apple recently held their Fall 2009 iPod launch event where they rolled out updates or new devices across the line. One of the most interesting models is the iPod nano and I picked up a custom engraved orange one to check out. This new generation nano has the same outside form factor as the 4th generation with some updates. The display is slightly larger, there is a video camera on board, a FM radio is included, and a pedometer is included to help you with fitness.

Custom engraving

Custom engraving

If you order through the Apple store you can get free custom engraving. The only issue is that you cannot return or exchange a custom iPod so make sure you really want the device.
