Users will be able to choose from 16 different clock faces (and yes, one of them is Mickey Mouse).

The iPod nano will also be easy to use as a fitness watch that tracks walks and runs. Users can see the time, pace and distance of their runs, calories burned and the number of steps walked. No additional sensors or devices are needed.

"Right out of the box," Schiller said, "you can go on a walk or a run, without adding sensors or devices.”
