After earlier confusion with an unannounced 4GB iPod nano 4G showing up at retailers in Europe and Canada, Apple confirmed the device officially in a conversation with Register Hardware. While the spokeswoman for Apple would not confirm which countries would receive the 4GB model, she did say that the company made a "limited number of 4GB iPod Nanos for some international markets."

The 4GB iPod nano has been found in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, with Canadian retailers claim they would soon receive shipments of the device.
