You probably noticed that we really love animals here at GreenPacks, but what you probably don’t know is that we also love gadgets. Make them green and we’re pals for life. But why are we telling you all these? Because the fourth generation of iPod Nanos (the newest) have been released yesterday, and Steve Jobs thought about us. For the last seven years, the new iPod becomes both the thinnest and also the greenest ever.

The environmental checklist include a PVC, mercury and BFR-free body (made of aluminum), and arsenic-free glass which makes the new iPods highly recyclable for those who are eco-conscious. “We think these new Nanos are the cleanest toxic-free iPods we’ve ever built,” Steve Jobs said during the ‘Let’s Rock’ event in San Francisco.

The 8GB version will cost $229, the 16GB model goes for $299, while the 32GB is $399.
