Apple’s fourth-generation iPod Nano returns to the original long, light, and slender formula that put the series on the map. Offered in an attractive range of nine colors for both the 8GB iPod Nano ($149) and 16GB iPod Nano ($199) models, Apple has again refreshed the entry in Mp3 Market.
The new iPod is light and thin, with a seamless metal construction that prevents it from snapping ,curved design gives the Nano 4G the essence of an airplane wing, repeating the rounded design themes of Apple’s iPhone 3G and second-generation iPod Touch.
Apple has flipped the Nano’s screen on its side, menus and user interface get a dramatic change compared to Earlier Model. Menu text size has increased slightly and album cover art takes up less real estate on the main menu. In a bid to increase the accessibility of the Nano for people with impaired vision, Apple has included a font size setting on the fourth-generation Nano that makes its menus more legible.
All the features remain the Same as in Earlier versions. A new Genius feature is added which lets you create an instant playlists based around the musical characteristics of a single song. Easy to use and makes listening to music via iPod more interesting. The fourth-generation iPod Nano also adds the same tilt-sensor found in the iPhone and iPod Touch, which allows for some interesting control tricks. Giving the iPod Nano a vigorous shake, for instance, puts the music player into shuffle mode.
As stated by Apple, the battery life expectations for video playback has lowered from 5 hours to 4 hours, maintaining the same 24-hour mark for music playback.
Apple iTunes 8 launched to make it easy for Apple to update new features on new iPod. The new iTunes 8 has many new features and it even made jailbreaking iPhone more difficult. Seems to me Apple are taking action against crackers and hackers.
