Apple has been releasing a new iPod or iPod Nano for more than a year, the longest time between the new generation of music players.
In September, traditionally the beginning of the American holiday season, Apple's sales have risen sharply in the past.

It is much smaller than a traditional iPod, with no screen or tap wheel and uses 512 MB or 1 GB of flash instead of the hard drive.
