Apple’s new iPod nano has some extra features that you may not have noticed at first glance. Actually, you can’t see my favorite new feature of the iPod nano’s menu system, but it “sounds” very promising, and I’m hoping Apple can add to it’s functionality.

Apple added some accessibility features to the new nano in the form of spoken menus.

As the day draws closer, Apple continues to make preparations for its Let’s Rock special event. Apple has now put up a banner on the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco where the event is to be held.

The banner is in typical Apple style with a dancing person’s silhouette on a colorful background, with an iPod of course. This is clearly truth in advertising, I mean, I can’t not dance when I turn on my iPod. Who can resist? The technology just moves me!

It seems that Alibaba.com has a listing for a “Screen Protector for iPod Nano 4th Gen,” and, potentially far more interesting, a picture of the rumored device.

This lines up with pretty much all of the current rumors for the new iPod nano 4th Gen. It has a click wheel and dock connecter, like we’ve come to expect. This picture appears to suggest the body of the device will be curved, but it looks as if the screen is flat. The screen also seems to be taller, making widescreen video much easier to watch.

Details, and news on the 2nd gen iPod touch, after the break.
