I don’t currently own an Apple iPod nano with its new touchscreen, but the idea of wearing one as a watch does intrigue me and, although it doesn’t quite fit my personal taste for watches, I think it’s a cool concept. CountyComm, located in Santa Clara, CA, makes watchbands for a variety of watches and they even have a pouch that just so happens to fit the iPod nano and watchband perfectly.

According to their site, their 22mm Maratac Nylon Single piece bands fit the iPod nano nicely — sliding neatly through the clip. They offer a variety of colors and offer up a great way to sport your iPod nano. I don’t yet have an iPod nano OR one of these watchbands, but the whole idea is intersting, particularly if there are several watch faces to choose from on the iPod nano.

In case you missed Apple’s Fall Event today, here’s a quick recap of what Apple is bringing to the media-hungry consumer market:

  • iOS 4.1 for iPhone and iPod touch coming next week (including bug fixes, HD YouTube uploads, TV rentals and Game Center), and iOS 4.2 for iPad coming in November with goodies like wireless printing (yay!) and AirPlay (replaces airtunes and adds pictures and streaming video).
  • A new multi-touch iPod nano available in different colors for $149 (8GB) and $179 (16GB).
  • Revamped iPod touch that’s thinner and sports a Retina display like the iPhone 4, HD video recording, FaceTime video calling, 3-axis gyro, and iOS 4.1 with Game Center.
  • New iTunes 10 with a better UI, new icon, and Ping social networking.
  • New Apple TV that’s a lot smaller, incorporates Netflix, $4.99 HD Hollywood movies, TV shows from ABC and FOX for 99-cents, and a $99 price tag for the whole kit and kaboodle.

What do you think about Apple’s new product announcements today? What about having to wait until November for iOS 4.2 for iPad?? And with the new iOS 4.1 coming next week, will you be tempted to lose your jailbreak if your iPhone 4 is jailbroken?
