The iPod nano (fifth generation) 1.0.2 update, available via iTunes, is aimed at users of the iPod nano introduced by Apple in September. According to Apple's release notes, the software update fixes audiobook playback to allow Normal, Slower, and Faster settings to work for audio podcasts.

The update also resolves an issue where Genius Mixes were not working for anyone using the Nike + iPod Sport Kit add-on.

still get a "device corrupted you want to reformat" message if pluging it in while iTunes already running. Have to close and plug Nano in and then it is OK
