Apple announced on Wednesday that it was adding a video camera to its iPod Nano and cutting prices of its wildly popular music players.

n

Apple chief executive Steve Jobs unveiled the video camera-equipped iPod Nano at an Apple media event here during which he made a much-anticipated appearance on stage.

n

Jobs said the new iPod Nano, Apple’s best-selling iPod with more than 100 million units sold, would now include a video camera, an FM radio, a pedometer and a microphone and speaker.

n

“You can watch your video on the Nano or sync it back to your computer,” he said. “With one click you can send it to YouTube.”

n

“So, pretty amazing to always have a video camera of that quality in your pocket, built right into your Nano,” Jobs said.

n

He said there would be two models — an eight gigabyte version for $149 and a 16 GB model for $179.

n

The video-equipped iPod was the product highlight of the Apple event dominated by Jobs’ first public appearance since October 2008.

n

Jobs, 54, went on medical leave in January and returned to work in June following a liver transplant.

n

Apple also announced it was cutting the prices on various iPods models with the price of an 8GB iPod Touch, for example, dropping to $199 from $249.
