Design
Apple's most popular music player has undergone yet another extreme makeover. In contrast to last year's compacted design, the Nano has been stretched back to the candybar footprint of its first and second generations. That doesn't mean that specs have gone backwards, however. The size and resolution of the display is the same as the third-gen's version at two inches (5.1 centimetres) and 320x240 pixels, but it's been rotated 90 degrees to fit the form factor. The Nano is now a few hairs thinner at 6.2 millimetres, and almost 12 grams lighter at a feathery 37g.
The Nano now sports an elliptical cross section, meaning the screen has a slightly curved glass overlay.
Instead of sporting a reflective — and scratch-prone — back, the Nano is wrapped in one piece of brushed aluminium. It's a more practical design for those who chuck their players in a bag or pocket with a ring full of keys nestled up close.
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 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.
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. 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 it 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.
Shake your groove thing.
Sometimes, we could all use a little unpredictability. And now you can shake to shuffle 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.
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.
