Product Description–Posted September 9, 2008
With eight amazing colors, a new curved design, and great new features, iPod nano rocks like never before. The Genius Playlist feature finds the songs in your music library that go great together and makes a playlist for you. With its built-in accelerometer, iPod nano is made to move. Give it a shake, and it shuffles to a different song in your library. Turn it on its side to flip through your album art in Cover Flow. And tilt, move, and play accelerometer-inspired games (games available separately). Watching movies, TV shows, and video is even more fun on the sharp 2-inch screen. And your photos (up to 7,000 of them) look great in portrait or landscape view. Available in 8 GB and 16 GB models, the 8 GB iPod nano puts up to 2,000 songs or 8 hours of video in your pocket.

A Musical Genius
Say you’re listening to a song you really like and want to hear other tracks that go great with it. The Genius Playlist feature finds the songs in your music library that go great together and makes a Genius Playlist for you. It’s like having your own highly intelligent, personal DJ.
Find Your Music Faster
It’s even easier to find the song you want to hear. Now you can view your album art in Cover Flow. Or just press and hold the Center button to browse by album or artist. When you find the right song, press the Center button to add it to your on-the-go playlist.
Rock and Roll Over
Tilt or turn iPod nano on its side, and you’ll listen, watch, and play in new ways. You can flip through your album art with Cover Flow. Or, vertically speaking, see more albums and artists on the screen at one time.
Shake Your Groove Thing
Sometimes, we could all use a little unpredictability. And now you can shake to change your music. Just give iPod nano a shake, and it shuffles to a different song in your music library. You’ll always be surprised by what you’ll hear.
Let the Games Begin
Now you can get in on games made especially for iPod nano and the accelerometer. They respond to the way you move, so they’re immersive, addictive, and a blast. The iPod nano comes with Maze, which lets you work your way through vast mazes by tilting and moving. You can find even more games on the iTunes Store.
Even Your Photos Rock
Pull hundreds of photos from your pocket and share them wherever you go. Hold iPod nano upright and see your photos in portrait view. Turn the player on its side to see them in landscape. Your photos look beautiful in their proper aspect ratio on the vibrant, 320-by-240-resolution display.
The World’s Biggest Small Screen
Watching movies, TV shows, and videos is big fun on iPod nano. And the high-resolution picture looks crisp and vivid on the 2-inch widescreen display. So you can always have a little video with you.

The iPod nano embodies Apple’s continuing environmental progress. It is designed with the following features to reduce environmental impact:
- Arsenic-free glass

The screen is nice. The aesthetics - well, it’s Apple. The extra features, while “neat,” are unnecessary, and sometimes outright silly. My problems with this device are two-fold:
The device loses two stars because iTunes (and yes, the Nano itself) rejects half of my MP3s - ALL of which played without problem on my 2nd Gen Nano (!!!) as well as in WinAmp and Windows Media Player. I’ve had to re-encode half of the MP3s I’ve put on the device.
The device loses another star because the Nano refuses to allow any of the three iPod-compatible devices that worked perfectly with my 2nd Gen Nano (vehicle stereo, clock radio, etc) to charge it.
Unless you really NEED to play videos on a tiny screen, you’re much better off getting a 2nd Gen, if you can.

Ladies and gents! you can get an 80gb for the price of this 16bg. I LOVE my 80gb 5.5 gen iPod and have NO plans to upgrade. The last iPod Nano (the first iPod nano to feture videos) is also a gem. I bought one for my Dad and it really is so lovely and tiny and he can sneak it anywhere he wants. However, Appel might have fallen victim to over design.
Im glad the TOUCH is not going to be the stadard. I think the classic wheel is the best way to go for music, videos, and games. The wheel is the best invention since… well… the wheel.
I like the classic white and these colors are a bit to fruity for me. Personally I would like a Black or Silver iPod so it would match my iPod speakers.
Also, Im not sure about the Genius playlist it makes. I listen to a LOT of audio books I have on CD format. I dont normally buy them off iTunes but borrow them for free from the library and download them to my iPod to save money. How will this iPod read that?
I may be wrong and it may be a great iPod. Appel iPods have yet to disapoint me. I will not buy a cheep MP3 player, I will only go iPod but I plan to buy a 6th gen 80BG silver iPod for my spouse instead of this new one. After all, its the same price as this one’s 16 GB.

the ‘new and improved’ nano. be serious.
I love the almost-square nano’s shape, and its navigation is pleasant. perhaps Apple should take a note from history, like Coca-Cola did–if it’s not broken, don’t fix it. in terms of the ‘new and improved’ design, it’s simply a different, albeit ‘been-there-done-that’ design. a rehash of something old.
Apple’s ‘Think Different’, forward thinking, does NOT apply.
