The phone, called the ROKR and made by Motorola Inc., will come loaded with iTunes software, store up to 100 songs and include a color display screen and a built-in camera.<\/p>\n<p>The new iPod, called the Nano, replaces the iPod Mini. In contrast with the Mini, which is hard drive-based, the Nano relies on flash memory, making it lighter and more energy-efficient. One-third the size of the Mini, the Nano weighs about 1.5 ounces and will fit into a breast pocket. Apple says it can store up to 1,000 songs or 25,000 photos.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nano is the biggest revolution since the original iPod,&#8221; Jobs crowed at an event for journalists and invited guests. &#8220;It&#8217;s impossibly small. &#8230; It&#8217;s thinner than a No. 2 pencil.&#8221; Besides music, the Nano features games, photo storage and a calendar. It also has a &#8220;screen lock&#8221; feature that allows no one except the user to access content.<\/p>\n<p>A 4-gigabyte Nano will retail for $249, and a 2-gigabyte model will sell for $199. The devices will be in stores as soon as Thursday and are likely to be widely available by the weekend, Apple said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple Computer Inc. chief executive Steve Jobs introduced a long-anticipated music-playing cell phone on Wednesday and surprised the faithful with a new pencil-thin iPod.
