These new Ipods haven't been improved massively. They've changed the headphones and made the screens brighter, but they haven't really made any major changes. I think that they are planning on something big for this time next year, and that they updated the nano and video now so that they can get as much money as they can before they launch new ipods next year.”
Yeah, they usually update them every year, usually a brand new model/generation or, like this year, just an updated version. It will be the sixth generation iPod next year probably, and I've heard there will be some major changes.
I doubt the Nano will be updated again next year. I think the Mini was only updated once before being discontinued.
I think one of the reasons the Nano has been updated with the colours is because the iPod Mini is still the best selling iPod ever - they probably want that to happen with the Nano.
