iPod Nano
sixth generation
Applein 2010 it does not leave the pages of newspapers and magazines, from TV screens, from the mouths of technomaniacs. And this is understandable. Indeed, this year the revolutionary iPad, the updated iPhone were presented to the public, and on September 1 - the sixth generation iPod Nano.
Since 2005, iPod Nano updates of all iPods have been the most catchy and effective, and the fifth generation has completely turned the understanding of Apple products, the appearance of FM radio and the lack of a built-in camera with the ability to record video, by the way, according to Apple's ideas, radio should not have appeared at all in the iPod. And with the arrival of the sixth generation, the developers have surpassed themselves, the 6th iPod Nano gained several new features, but also lost some of the old ones.
The sixth generation iPod Nano has acquired not only a new form factor, but also an interface when compared with its predecessor. Apple iPod Nano 6G retails for $ 149 iPod Nano 5G 8GB and $ 179 16GB and retains the same storage capacities of 6GB and 16GB. The player now looks like a hybrid of iPod shuffle and iPod touch with a 1.25-inch touchscreen display.
At first glance, you might think that the iPod nano 6G runs on a "cropped" version of iOS, but in reality it is not! "Nano" operates on the basis of a modified version of the OS, which was installed on the previous generation players, as a result, the user received a kind of compromise between the Click Wheel and Multi-Touch.
Now, in addition to the touch screen, the player has three more physical buttons. Functions such as video playback, cameras and other gadgets have been removed in the new generation, while on the official website of Apple all this is explained only by this phrase: "now all music and all Multi-Touch". Only a pedometer and an FM radio remain from the old player.
Later in this iPod nano 6G review, we will dwell in detail on the design of the new player, what it will give or not, in comparison with its predecessor. It is quite possible that this will help you in the future to make your choice towards this particular iPod model.
The new iPod Nano has two major differences from the fifth generation player - a touchscreen display and an all-new design.
We've already noticed that the sixth-generation iPod nano is not much different in size from the second-generation iPod shuffle (the iPod Nano is slightly taller). Now it remains a mystery why Apple still releases shuffle babies, if "nano" players are much richer in functionality and practically do not lag behind in size.
The body material of iPod Nano 6G is polished anodized aluminum, just like the fourth generation iPod shuffle. The sixth generation of players is presented in seven colors, instead of 9 colors of the predecessor, there are no bright yellow and purple colors in the line. Traditionally, iPod Nano 6G (PRODUCT) RED is only sold in Apple stores. Note that the music volume can only be controlled by physical buttons (volume control), there is no equivalent volume control function on the touch screen. Moreover, there is another physical Sleep / Wake button, it allows you to enable or disable the display, and this is again the only button that provides this opportunity, but the Home button, as in the iPhone, is not provided. A new design change to the Nano is the appearance of a clip on the back of the player, as a result, the player has become more practical and can be worn on clothes like an iPod shuffle Anyway, the design of the iPod Nano 6G is great. It looks elegant and very stylish, by the way it weighs only 20 grams, so it is practically weightless, it is in your pocket, it weighs on your clothes, it is still comfortable. The box from the player is as small as the player itself, but despite its dimensions, there was a place for everything you need: headphones, USB cable, instructions, sticker and of course the sixth generation iPod Nano. The widest selection of Apple iPod Nano 6G players is presented in the F.ua online store!
