Q: i just traded my old video nano for the new ipod chromatic.
what exactly does the ipod chrom. do (that's different from the video nano)?
A: They both play video.
The new (chromatic) nano comes in 8 and 16gb models, instead of 4 and 8.
And they have introduced new colours, and a few new features, such as the shake-to-shuffle and the accelerometer for coverflow.

The latest generation of Apple’s iPod Nano is known as iPod Nano-Chromatic. It is sure to be loved by any gadget lover. There are 9 different shades available for you to choose from, so whether you are looking for some girlish color or simply smart ones, Apple has something to offer.
The colors that you may choose from are black, light blue, silver, pink, red, orange, yellow, purple and green. The red one belongs to a special edition and you can purchase it only from the Apple stores. Simply pick a color that is your favorite, or looks most attractive to you. It comes in 2 sizes 8 GB and 16 GB, the 4 GB version currently seems unavailable.
The design of iPod Nano-chromatic is fantastic, slim and very attractive. In fact it wouldn’t be wrong to say it’s the trendiest iPod available in the market. The look of this 4th generation iPod is similar to the 2nd generation one, apart from the LCD screen which is bigger. The navigational buttons are similar to the other generations. If you have already owned an Apple iPod you wouldn’t have difficulty in handling the buttons.
