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: Von seinen Verwandten iPhone und iPod Touch hat der Musikzwerg den Lagesensor geerbt. So lassen sich Bilder ins Querformat drehen und Musik in der Cover-Flow-Anzeige durchblättern (siehe Bild unten). Witziges Zusatzfunktion: Schüttelt man den Player kr...
attraktives Design, extrem schlank, Beschleunigungssensor, lange Akkulaufzeit
Speicher nicht erweiterbar, Zwangskopplung an iTunes, Display spiegelt, nur durchschnittliche Audio-Qualität
Der neue Nano kommt nun wieder im Format des 2Gs - und ist der schlankeste iPod aller Zeiten. Das sich verjüngende Gehäuse aus Aluminium sieht gut aus, im Inneren steckt High-Tech. Der kleine Nano verfügt nun über 8 oder 16 GByte Speicher, einen Beschl...

Abstract: Med Ipod Nano generation fyra så återgår Apple till den ursprungliga, högsmala designen. Skärmen är bättre än någonsin och spelaren har nya smarta funktioner. Ljudkvaliteten är dock oförän...
Abstract: För Apple själva, vill säga. Mobiltelefoner har för länge sedan förvandlats till MP3-spelare och en av de allra bästa är Apple iPhone 3G. Men marknaden för renodlad MP3-spelare är alltjämt enorm. Bara i Europa ligger omsättningen på över 3 miljarder. E...
Abstract: Nano i sin nya form är ännu mindre och ännu läckrare. Den låter helt okej och har en trevlig om än liten skärm, och trots att den saknar en del enkla funktioner känns den prisvärd..
Abstract: iPod Nano har ändrat design flera gånger men först nu känns det som att den hittat hem i sin design. Inte nog med att den har 16 gigabyte inpressat i ett superslimmat skal, den är även fullproppad med nya funktioner och ett snabbare gränssnitt. Dessut...
Lite dyrare än konkurrerande modeller, 16 gigabyte minne är inte tillräckligt mycket för en del användare
Ipod Nano rekommenderas till användare som sätter värde på elegant design och är beredda att betala lite mer för att få en allsidig musikspelare som fortfarande sätter standarden för konkurrerande modeller. ...
Abstract: Det har vært en fornøyelse å teste ut iPod Nano. Apple har laget gode mediespiller siden 2001, og den nyeste iPod Nano er intet unntak. 4. generasjon iPod Nano har en helt fantastisk utforming og er nydelig å se på. I tilegg kommer den i mange farger f...
