@iPod Whisperer:
I sent Apple an e-mail directly this morning and received the responses below. I'm not sure how (and from what source) you have different information than I do, but here are the official e-mails they sent me. My reading of them is that there WILL BE a new device for the nano that will enable walking & running to be tracked without the need for Nike shoes and the chip inserted therein. Since everything seems SO unclear right now, I'd rather be safe than sorry, so I will simply wait a few weeks or month, if need be, to hear definitely word from Apple via their web site AND in their retail store before I purchase it.
THIS SECOND FOLLOW UP CAME FROM APPLE TO ME.
Greetings from the iTunes Customer Support Team. I am an iTunes advisor, and I will be assisting you with your current issue until it is handled to your satisfaction.
Upon reading your email, I understand that are trying to find out the release date for the iPod Nano. I can certainly understand how eager you are to get this issue resolved, and I am happy to assist.
Robert, at this time Apple has not provided a release date. The best thing I can recommend is to continue to check the information the previous advisor provided to you.
I have personally voiced my concern on Apple's feedback page, as well as directing my customers who shared these frustrations. Please know that Apple is very receptive to the comments of customers. If this is something you would like changed, please send your comments to your feedback page. For your convenience, I've provided a link below to the feedback page:

I hope this information proves helpful to you today. We very much appreciate your business and want you to have the best possible experience with the iTunes Store. Take care and enjoy your day.
THIS WAS THE FIRST RESPONSE I RECEIVED FROM APPLE TODAY
Thank you for your inquiry regarding the "new iPod Nano". I'm sorry, but I can't comment on rumors about decisions, products, programs, or promotions that Apple has not officially announced.
By withholding comment, Apple hopes to protect customers from making decisions based on information that is incomplete, inaccurate, or subject to change before the formal announcement. Apple believes this is the best way to ensure that all customers are treated fairly.
I appreciate your interest and encourage you to stay up to date on Apple news. Apple makes its company news available to the public through numerous channels, such as these:

HERE IS THE VERBATIM E-MAIL I PERSONALLY SENT TO iPOD SUPPORT AT NOON TODAY:
I was in the Apple Store this morning right when they opened. I asked whether or not there would be a new, physical product or if the "new" nano was just a software update because I specifically want the ability to track my walk and run without having the Nike shoes with the separate chip. They did not know, despite asking the store manager and inventory stockers. I called the main Apple number toll-free and the representative didn't know either, despite checking with a manager. Although the keynote address was somewhat unclear on this point, I was told it might not be available for a week and to check back. I am very suprised that a corporate Apple store and your main call center could not answer this simple question.Can I please get a definitive answer?
AS YOU CAN SEE, I AM ATTEMPTING TO GET INFORMATION DIRECTLY FROM THE SOURCE AT APPLE. WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION, iPOD WHISPERER?
