New iPod nano - 1GB

At the Apple Store, the 1GB iPod nano is $149. As of this afternoon, all were showing as shipping within 24 hours. They are offering free engraving and free shipping. The optional connector - is called the Apple iPod AV Cable (M9765G) and is available at the Apple Store
as well.
