Although the iPhone 5 hogged the spotlight yesterday, Apple announced some other things including an update to iTunes, new earbuds, and new iPods. Here’s a quick rundown of the things that got overlooked yesterday:

iPod Nano: The new and improved 7th generation iPod Nano is available in 7 colors, has a 2.5-inch touch screen, is just 5.4 millimeters thick, and has the new, smaller Lightning connector. It also has Bluetooth, FM radio, a pedometer, Nike+ support, and a 30-hour battery life.

iPod Touch: Like the new iPhone, the updated iPod Touch (5th generation) is longer and thinner with a 4-inch Retina display screen — and Siri voice commands. It will use the A5 chip. The battery can run 40 hours of music or 8 hours of video before it needs to be recharged. The iPod Touch also includes a 5 megapixel iSight camera with LED flash — and can create panorama shots. The camera can shoot 1080p HD video.
