[/caption]Apple has unveiled the latest version of its iPod Nano, featuring what it says are the thinnest measurements yet.
The fourth generation Nano was launched at a US press conference by Apple chief Steve Jobs, who announced new shuffle and library features.
He also listed the Nano's environmental credentials, including arsenic-free glass and a mercury and PVC-free body that is "highly recyclable".
The Nanos are expected to sell in the UK for £109 ($191) for the 8GB version.
The 16GB version will retail at £149
Speaking live in San Francisco, Mr Jobs unveiled Apple's new Genius function which allows users to create automatic playlists from the iPod's library with the click of a button.

He said the function worked by taking one song and creating a playlist based on the user's song library and could also suggest other tracks the user might want to buy.
Mr Jobs said the new Nano also had a "shake to shuffle" mode, which sends the gadget to shuffle mode with the flick of a wrist.
'Lots of Fun'
The Apple chief executive officer said the company had sold more than 160 million iPods since its introduction seven years ago.
An updated iPod Touch - the closest cousin to the iPhone - was also announced at the event.
It is thinner than previous models and has integrated volume controls and a built-in speaker for "casual listening" and will also include the Genius function.
New software for the iPhone - which will be available free to all users - would "fix a lot of bugs" including dropped calls and connection problems reported by customers.
Mr Jobs said: "We're really, really excited about all these products. We think people are going to have a lot of fun."
