Apple is preparing significant changes to the iPod nano as it prepares a dramatic ramp-up in iPhone 3G shipments, according to a report by FBR Research analyst Craig Berger. The investment expert now anticipates an updated, lower-priced iPod nano in the near future on top of refreshes for both the iPod classic and iPod touch. Further details are unavailble, though Apple has traditionally increased capacities of the iPod in August or September as flash memory and hard drive technology improves; the company took the unusual step this year of doubling iPod touch capacity to 32GB just a few months after the product was introduced.
Apple is also now said to be increasing its iPod production to match and is estimated to be building 15 percent more of the media players than it did with Berger’s previous check, although he adds that the shift is now more towards the iPod nano and classic rather than the iPod touch, which has regularly been Apple’s second-strongest iPod in terms of online Apple Store sales since its debut. The move is reported to push Apple’s profit margins down for the sake of maintaining or growing iPod sales share.

Nike and Apple are making the iPod compatible with gym equipment.
Soon iPod users will be able to hook it up to equipment at gyms and health clubs to track workouts.

The new technology is expected to hit gyms this summer.
