IPod Nano 8GB
The world’s most popular music player now gives you even more to
play with. Out with the old and in with the new that’s what apple did
to the new iPod Nano with unbelievable features, less weight this time
as it is thinner than the previous models measuring 90.7 mm
(3.6 inches) tall by 38.7 mm (1.5 inches) wide by 6.2 mm (0.24 inch)
thick, and weighing 36.8 grams (1.3 ounces). It has a curved aluminum
shell and glass screen (the glass screen being held in place with
nothing but the shell). The battery is claimed to last 24 hours of
music playback, and only 4 hours of video playback, compared to the 5
hours of the previous generation.
The six previous colors (silver, black, mint, turquoise, berry red,
and rose pink) have been replaced by silver, black, purple, light blue,
green, yellow, orange, red, and pink, for a total of nine, although
the Product Red color is only available directly from Apple (website
and retail stores). Apple markets the new colors as "nano-chromatic".
Also added is an accelerometer which allows the Nano
to shuffle songs by shaking it, the option between portrait and
landscape display modes by tilting the iPod left or right, and access
to Cover Flow when tilted sideways. Videos, however, can only be played
in landscape mode.
Just to mention some of the features like ability to pause the radio
and tag too (It even shows you what and who you’re listening to), there
is voice over which is the iPod speaking back to you this means, if
you listening to a song and you don’t know who sings it the iPod will
gladly tell you (it comes in multiply languages), one of the great
features would have to be the video camera record video in portrait or
landscape perfect for emailing or posting on Facebook or MobileMe. A
built-in mic lets you capture audio, too. And when you play back your
video on iPod nano, you’ll hear the recorded audio with it.
All of which means your indispensable music player is now your
indispensable video camera. Fifteen fun video effects let you add a
little Hollywood to your video
