New IPOD NANO


The new IPOD NANO was introduced to the public September 10 this year. There were some surprises that pleased the public, although some predictions that also pleased the public were proven wrong. The bad news was that the new IPOD is not touch screen (this is more or less obvious because Apple has an IPOD called IPOD TOUCH therefore they would not want to create a product that would compete with their own product.)
The most important feature that will now be present in the IPOD NANO is the integrated video camera. (This will make the lives of many people easier because they will be able to capture moments with the IPOD when they do not have a camera in hand. Although for other camera companies this might not be so good news.) The second feature that was announced was the integrated speakers. The screen also had a small upgrade and now has 2.2-inches. Other small features where also added as the pedometer, FM Radio (although it was said that the FM Radio would not work with the integrated speakers.), genius mixes and video quality is now better.
Most of the new features of the IPOD NANO turn this product more appealing to the consumer although if I were to buy a new IPOD I would buy the IPONE or the IPOD TOUCH which have even more features than the new IPOD NANO, although the prices are significantly different.

Good to know. I like the nano because it's so small and good for running and just slipping in my pocket, so I don't care much about the touch screen. The camera and speaker features sound nice.
