Dexter4th-Gen Apple iPod Nano Revealed
September 10th 2008 07:30
Apple CEO Steve Jobs has taken the wraps off the fourth generation Apple iPod Nano complete with a return to the thin chewing gum strips of the second-gen version albeit in a more svelte, curved, all-aluminium and glass design.
The new curved and oval-shaped Nano is designed with ergonomics in mind and fits much nicer in the hand while the new accelerometer "rock and roll over" function is a welcome addition to the range and allows the 4G Nano to be listened, watched and played in new ways. The built-in maze game using the accelerometer is brilliant and comparable to the Apps available in the App Store for the iPhone.
Finding a song you want to hear has never been easier - just press and hold the centre button to browse by album or artist. When you find the right song, press the centre button again to add it to your on-the-go playlist.
Another new feature utilising the accelerometer is the "shake to shuffle" function which shuffles to a different song in your music library by, of course, shaking the Nano. It also smartly disables itself when the screen is off or when the hold button is switched on.
Photos can now be viewed in portrait or landscape mode and movies have never been crisper than on the 2-inch widescreen and 320 x 240 resolution display.
And finally the iPod Nano is now available in a range of nine colours: Black, Silver, Purple, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red and Fucshia and two storage capacities: 8GB (2000 songs) or 16GB (4000 songs).
