New iPod Nano “Toxic Free”

Today at Apple’s Let’s Rock Event, CEO Steve Jobs unveiled a new iPod nano that is free of toxic substances.

Calling the updated nano “highly recyclable,” “mercury free” and “toxic free,” it is the thinnest and cleanest version of the nano to date.

Beyond its environmental perks, the new iPod nano’s funky “shake to shuffle” feature is expected to wow consumers.

    How about instead of ‘shake to shuffle’ it could be ‘shake to charge’ like those dynamo torches that don’t need batteries. Then it could just recharge as you jog.

    This is a good feature I hope it can be truned off and on when you want because what happens if you are taking a jog and have your favorite playlist loaded you dont want it shuffling when you Jog as you already have the music in the order you want it. I have tons of music and movies on my iPod Nano from http://www.ipodtunesdownloads.com
