The New iPod Nano
SPOT MORE COOL STUFF:
iPod & iPod Accessory
The new iPod Nanos are out! The first iPod came out in 2001 and still Spot Cool Stuff gets a bit of a tingle every time an upgraded version is introduced. What’s new about the latest Nano incarnation?
- The choice of nine colors is the most visible change. You can now rock out to pink, green and purple among other color selections.
- Automatically generated play lists, based on your musical tastes, through a new feature on the upcoming iTunes 8 called Genius.
- Much improved screen from the last version of the Nano. This one is clearer, and two inches wide.
- Motion-sensing technology, with a screen image that adjusts appropriately when the device is held sideways or vertically.
- Longer battery life. The new iPod Nano can play songs for 24 straight hours, video for 4 hours.
- Perhaps coolest of all: Some controls are now possible simply by moving the iPod in certain ways, without touching any buttons. With a flick of the wrist you can now flip through photos or album covers. Shake the new iPod Nano while playing a song and a new random song will come on. (Don’t worry, this feature can be turned off so your iPod isn’t constantly skipping to new songs while you are jogging or, say, being shaken up by some one trying to steal your new iPod Nano).
The new iPod Nano comes in an 8GB version for $149 but we suggest spending an extra $50 on the 16GB model.
