clear about that. Thanks

Hi,
thanks, but it states in the ad a touch display; I will clarify with apple
though.
What I can say is I've seen a ipod nano fifth generation and it has a flat
screen.
I hope you're right that there are buttons because I have an itunes account
and would love to add more to it. However, I can only do so much with a 2 gb
storage capacity of the ipod shuffle.
The nano is much bigger capacity. Heck, I might even download familiar
movies to it if storage permits; no need for audio description as I know the
plot so well to some; especially some classics.

Take care.

  a.. Ashley.  Here's what I found on the web about the iPod and iTouch.
Unless I missed something, the new Nano has buttons as well.  And Siri
probably is a big help in finding a specific song for ou.  Hoep this helps.

Players Reinvented With Ultra-Thin Designs & Amazing New Features

SAN FRANCISCO-September 12, 2012-AppleR today introduced the new lineup of
the world's most popular music players including the incredible all-new iPod
touchR and reinvented iPod nanoR. The new iPod touch is the thinnest iPod
touch ever and features a brilliant 4-inch RetinaT display; a 5 megapixel
iSightR camera with 1080p HD video recording; Apple's A5 chip; SiriR, the

"With over 350 million sold, iPod is the world's most popular and beloved
music player," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of
Worldwide Marketing. "Music lovers may have a difficult time deciding
between the reinvented iPod nano, the thinnest iPod ever, and the all-new
iPod touch with its stunning 4-inch Retina display, 5 megapixel iSight
camera and ultra-thin design-both in beautiful new colors."

The new iPod touch has been redesigned with a brilliant 4-inch Retina
display in an ultra-thin and light anodized aluminum body-the thinnest iPod
touch ever at just 6 mm thin and weighing just 88 grams. With Apple's
dual-core A5 chip inside, iPod touch delivers up to twice the processing
power and up to seven times faster graphics than the fourth generation iPod
touch, all while maintaining incredible battery life of up to 40 hours of
music playback and up to eight hours of video playback.* And, for the first
time ever, iPod touch is available in five vibrant colors.

The new iPod touch includes a 5 megapixel iSight camera with autofocus,
support for 1080p video recording with video image stabilization, face
detection and an LED flash, and the new panorama feature that lets you
capture gorgeous panoramic photos by simply moving the camera across a
scene. Every new iPod touch comes with a color-matched iPod touch loop, a
clever and convenient wrist strap you can use while taking photos, recording
video and playing games.

The new iPod touch comes with iOS 6, the world's most advanced mobile
operating system with over 200 features, and for the first time, features
Siri, the intelligent assistant that helps you get things done just by
asking. Siri arrives on the new iPod touch with support for more languages,
easy access to sports scores, restaurant recommendations and movie
listings.** The new iPod touch also includes: built-in Facebook integration
with ability to post directly from Siri; Shared Photo Streams via iCloudR;
and other key iOS features like iMessageT, FaceTimeR, Mail and Game Center.
Now you can wirelessly display your iPod touch screen right on your HDTV
with AirPlayR Mirroring, allowing you to stream photos, videos, music, apps
and play games on your big screen TV.***

The reinvented iPod nano is the thinnest iPod ever, at just 5 mm, and
features the largest display ever built into an iPod nano, allowing you to
enjoy more of your music, photos and widescreen videos. The new iPod nano
features a 2.5-inch Multi-Touch display to make navigating your music even
easier; a home button to quickly get back to your home screen; and
convenient buttons to easily control volume and quickly play, pause or
change songs without looking. The new iPod nano gives music lovers built-in
Bluetooth for wireless listening with Bluetooth-enabled headphones, speakers
and cars. At 30 hours, the new iPod nano offers the longest music playback
of any iPod nano so you can enjoy your playlists* and FM radio even longer.
With built-in fitness features including a pedometer and support for Nike+,
iPod nano users will be ready to take their music walking, running or
anywhere they like. The new iPod nano comes in seven gorgeous new colors
with fun color-matched wallpapers.
