Apple also announced that iTunes will start sending data about the songs your listen to and your music preferences back to Apple. iPods Classic: The iPod Classic has been cut down to one model with 120GB. According to Jobs, most users only considered the 80GB model anyway. Nano: The Nano received a major design overhaul, with a curved glass front and a larger screen and a built-in accelerometer. The UI for the Nano is now similar to that of the iPhone/iPod touch.
