Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled a new iPod nano that lets users shuffle songs by shaking the device.
Not content with the so-called “shake to shuffle” feature, Jobs also boasted that the nano is the thinnest and cleanest iPod Apple has ever made, calling it “highly recyclable,” “mercury free” and … um … “toxic free.”
The 8-gigabyte model costs $149 and the 16-gigabyte version costs $199.
