( CNN ) -- Remember the iPod Nano and iPod Touch ? They 'll be getting some feature and style upgrades , as well as some price-slashing , in the near future . Although the iPods were largely overshadowed by Tuesday 's iPhone 4S news , Apple CEO Tim Cook also announced a handful of tweaks to Apple 's iconic music-player line -- in plenty of time , of course , for the holiday shopping season . The new Touch , now the most popular iPod , will be available in both black and white and get a $ 30 price cut , to $ 199 for 8GB of storage , $ 299 for 32 gigs and $ 399 for 64 . It will also run Apple 's new iOS5 operating system , meaning its ability to run apps , surf the Web and the like will maintain its unofficial status as the iPhone-without-a-phone . The new Touch ships on October 12 . The Nano , perhaps appropriately , is getting an even smaller update . The most fun change will be Apple 's addition of 16 new clock faces for folks who use the tiny player 's 1.5-inch screen as a watch . Our favorite ? The iconic Mickey Mouse watch is now available , with Mickey 's hands spinning around to tell the time . It 's also getting a price cut , down to $ 129 for the 8GB version and $ 149 for 16GB . The runt of the litter , the 2GB Nano , goes for a mere $ 49 . ( Virtually free by Apple 's standards , if still more expensive than some rival mp3 players with the same limited storage space ) . Totally lost in the shuffle ( see what we did there ? ) was any mention at all of the iPod Classic or ... Shuffle . The two did n't get a single mention at Tuesday 's event , just as they were left out in the cold at last year 's iPod event . That 's led to lots of stories in the tech press speculating that the clock is ticking toward the demise of the two venerable players . ( You know ... even if this one , from The Unofficial Apple Weblog , was dead wrong ) . But Apple 's online store Wednesday showed both devices still for sale . It 's clear Apple wants to move completely to touchscreen and abandon the old-fashioned click wheel on the Classic and Shuffle ( the Nano 's click wheel disappeared last year ) . Time will tell how long the older devices last , although for our money there 's still something to be said for the top-of-the-line Classic , with its massive 160 gigabytes of storage , as a repository for folks ' entire music collection . Music and other media content got another boost Tuesday with Apple announcing plans that could move iTunes into the cloud . The iCloud service will now be integrated into the iOS 5 operating system . It will work with apps and allow content to be stored on remote servers instead of the users ' iPod , iPhone or other device . Each device will get 5GB of free storage , according to Cook . Working with iTunes , the cloud-based service would let a user access their music , videos and the like from any Apple device running iOS5 .
iPods , while overshadowed by the iPhone 4S , got freshened up by Apple . The new iPod Touch is a lot more powerful than its predecessor and has an improved camera ( which was already pretty good ). Apple unveiled 16 new `` clock faces '' for the Nano -- including the time-honored Mickey Mouse . iCloud will integrate with new operating system , let users store music , videos on remote servers .
