Apple's new larger iPod nanos in colors
With an aluminum enclosure available in five brilliant colors, the second generation iPod nano is more compact than the original and has a brighter, more vibrant display. It offers new software features such as Search and Quick Scroll as well as seamless integration with iTunes 7 and the iTunes Store.
The new iPod nano supports gapless playback for enjoying albums the way they were intended. iPod nano also includes Apple's patent pending Auto-Sync technology that automatically downloads a user's digital music collection, photos or podcasts onto iPod nano and keeps it up-to-date whenever iPod nano is plugged into a Mac or Windows computer using USB 2.0. The second generation iPod nano features up to 24 hours of battery life and completely skip-free playback.
Apple is also unveiling new accessories designed for the second generation iPod nano, including lanyard headphones, an armband, a dock, and a new incredibly compact USB power adapter which at almost half the size of the previous USB power adapter is perfect for charging your iPod while traveling. The new iPod nano features the 30-pin iPod dock connector allowing it to work with a range of third-party products, from home stereo speakers to cars featuring iPod integration. Apple said that there are now more than 3,000 accessories available for the iPod. The second generation iPod nano also works seamlessly with the Nike + iPod Sport Kit, and provides support for voice recording accessories.
New optional accessories designed for the second generation iPod nano are available now: lanyard headphones for $39, armband for $29, iPod nano Dock for $29, and an iPod USB power adapter for $29.
The new iPod nano requires a Mac with a USB 2.0 port and Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later and iTunes 7.0 or later.

And don't you think Apple must've had enough feedback from people who want the color for them to spend the money to make them?
And its amazing how someone can call Apple's original nano "ubersleek" when the new ones are even smaller and lighter.
Every pro-apple person knows that iPods did not scratch except due to extreme misuse by the users (you know, take iPod, tie a string around it, drag it behind you for a week, then whine that its scratched). Oh, and only 5 people had this happen.
I know this is true because I read it here over and over.
