The fourth in the iPod series, Apple's new iPod Nano has become an instant favorite among the populous. With an expansive variety of colors (everything from black to yellow to pink), it has a shade representative of every personality. But that myriad of pigmentation aside, numerous other improvements have been made - ensuring a quality product with lots of contrast.
For instance, the outer screen is now a fine slab of glass (which also happens to be scratch resistant, similar to the iPhone) - taking up almost ½ of the Nano's body. And, speaking of body, the newest generation iPod sports a beautiful, aluminum chasse that melds into a tapered edge, creating a comfortable handle for any sized palm.
It still possesses that famous "shake to shuffle" feature, in addition to multiple other applications. Contrary to previous designs, however, the new 4G iPod has a built-in accelerometer that automatically changes to "Cover Flow" navigation when the device is tipped into a landscape (or sideways) position - enabling game and video play. It also introduces a new "Genius" feature that combines certain, complementary songs into a playlist that incorporates the similar musical elements.
Some of the technical details include the flashy, white end caps located on the top and bottom of the iPod Nano. The bottom includes the necessary charging and headphone ports needed for use. In addition to this, the battery has been soldered into place - preventing possible damage but also making the battery very difficult to replace for the average user. As a side note, the battery has kept its twenty-four hour life span, ensuring maximum music time.
Perhaps the most exciting attribute of the new iPod Nano, however, is simply its massive size. The flash memory hard drive comes in either an 8GB or a 16GB capacity - the 16GB being the largest amount of storage on any iPod, ever. The drive is capable of amassing either 2,000 songs, 7,000 images, and 8 hours of video; or 4,000 songs, 14,000 images, and 16 hours of video (according to the hard drive size, of course).
It's definitely a fine addition to the iPod family and includes numerous other - smaller - details in combination with the more widely known concepts. Things like a voice recorder application (if you're willing to spend extra cash on a compatible headset, that is), audibly announced menu options (for the visually impaired), and - of course - a noticeable increase in speed and performance.
