During the Apple Keynote which was made at 5pm GMT last night in Cupertino, California, the new iPhone was of course unveiled, but we also saw new generation iPod nano and iPod Touch music players.

The new generation iPod nano, the seventh release since 2005, brings with it a multitouch tactile display, larger icons to facilitate browsing, a training program for fitness and sixteen new clocks inside the same 1.54 inch display with 24 hour battery life when playing music.
