Enough colors to make you second guess dropping that third hit of acid before hitting the Apple store. Up to 16 gigs of storage. On the fly Genius (should be called Lazy) Playlists let you quickly suit your music mood. Energy saver mode is clutch. 8 gigs...

The editors didn't like
Apple is hitting a dead end with UI innovation for these things
Many games made for click-wheel iPods dont make use of the accelerometer
And therefore suck (but some do!)
No firewire breaks support for many 3rd party chargers
No built-in microphone
No OGG Vorbis or FLAC support...

Expensive
Battery life slightly shorter for video than previous generation
Some might squint at video on the twoinch screen
A little more expensive than rival models
16GB storage won’t be enough for some
Average battery life
No wireless feature
The fifth-generation iPod Touch offers a larger screen
Faster processor
And superior photo and camcorder quality
Iderably under-hyped is the 4G nano’s new Spoken Menus feature
Which actually “reads aloud” as you browse the iPod’s menus
Offering nearly-complete navigation even if you can’t see the iPod’s screen. Designed to incre...
No built-in mic—you need to upgrade earbuds to use the integrated voice recorder. Apple still hasnt upgraded those lame bundled earbuds.
Why no love for the squarePod? Shaketoshuffle is a nightmare during parkour outings
Switching off the muchneeded French Hip Hop in favor of our knitting podcasts whenever jostled. Tapered design is just curvy enough to be fey
But not quite severe enough...
No wireless features
No custom EQ
Mediocre battery life
*
Battery life for video and game playing has dropped from prior version
Though audio playback time is roughly the same. New tapered shape feels like a dull knife in the hand
Versus the softer curves of prior iPods and nanos
And requires rotation for
To use the new Nano
You must upgrade to Apples iTunes 8 software with its laundry list of hardware requirements
The rounded screen invites glare
Sound quality is only average.
Requires upgrading to resource-hogging iTunes 8
Audio recording requires additional Apple purchase
Genius feature needs education
You must twist the device 90 degrees to watch videos
Earbuds don’t offer the best sound quality and they aren’t very comfortable
Abstract: Si beaucoup avaient traité son grand frère lors de sa sortie de petit gros (on parlait même diPod "DeVito" en référence à lacteur), l’iPod nano 2008 pourrait pour sa part être qualifié de grande asperge. Avec le nano, Apple a une double mission : p...

Amazon.de Widgets, Mit dem iPod gelang Apple eine Marktdurchdringung im Bereich portabler Musik, wie es vorher wohl nur Sony mit dem Walkman gelungen war. Seit der Ersteinführung des iPod wurde das Gerät von Apple kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt. Im Jahr
mangelhafte Kopfhörer, kein Wechseln des Akkus vorgesehen, für große Hände eher unhandlich, nur wenig mitgeliefertes Zubehör, große Abhängigkeit von AppleSoftware
preisgünstiger als der Vorgänger (Einstandspreis von ca. 150 Euro beleibt bestehen, dafür wächst die Kapazität um 100 Prozent, 8 und 16 GB Modell), wertige Verarbeitung im bekannten Aluminiumdesign, 9 Farben, alle auch in der kleinsten Version erhältlich (nicht wie beim Vorgänger, dessen Einstiegsmodell nur silberfarben zu haben war), Bewegungssensor ermöglicht drehbares Display (Videos und Cover
Gehäuse schon fast zu leicht (immer schön aufpassen, dass man ihn nicht vergisst ;])
Keine Revolution, jedoch ein gutes Update einer bestehenden Produktreihe. Die Frage bleibt, wie lange es denn iPod nano noch geben wird, bzw. wann beerbt der touch alle Modellreihen. Denn was soll formtechnisch jetzt noch kommen?8 Kommentare Komm...
iPod bleibt iPod. Das beweist unser Test einmal mehr. Der Nano 4G bewahrt die Kernkompetenzen der Vorgänger. Da wäre die unschlagbare Handlichkeit, die derzeit wohl kein anderes Produkt in dieser Klasse erreicht. Weiterhin ist die Verarbeitungsqualit...
