At first glance, if no touch screen, you can easily duped the new iPod nano with iPod shuffle. IPod nano is significantly smaller than its predecessor.
iPod nano features a clip, multitouch screen 240 x 240 pixels 1:54 VoiceUover inches and technology.
Steve Jobs mentioned how small the sixth-generation iPod nano several times during his presentation, and in the metal it's really amazing.
Bright color touch screen and clear, reminiscent of the IOS on your iPod touch. During playback of music all over the screen shows album art, and "although not support video playback and you lose the camera of the fifth generation nano, we would prefer a smaller scale and more focused," said Slashgear.
The user interface of the iPod touch is very easy but still simple enough for ordinary users. Meanwhile, like the iPod shuffle, Apple's build quality is high even with minimal weight.
Interestingly, there are a variety of accessibility options, including color scheme-black and white alternatives for user interface and screen readers that use VoiceOver to read the selection.
The iPod nano is available for preorder now, it costs U.S. $ 149 for 8GB and $ 179 for 16GB.

Apple's sixth generation of the iPod nano is essentially the first complete rethinking the product has had since its debut in 2005. The previous form factor -- slim and light with a decently sized display and clickwheel -- has been all but abandoned. The new design is a complete departure; a full touchscreen device that brings to mind something more like a large, living postage stamp than a portable music player. Along with the radical hardware redesign, Apple has infused the media player with a brand new operating system as well -- an interface that looks and plays more like iOS than iPod. We've spent the past week or so knocking the nano around to see if it's worth your hard-earned dollars, and we've got the answers inside -- so read on for our full review.
iPod nano (2010) hands-on
Hardware
Size-wise, the iPod nano has never been smaller. The new hardware is slightly wider than the previous nano, but this time it's a tiny square, with a miniature, 1.54-inch 240 x 240 capacitive multitouch LCD display. Around back is a built-in clip, and the whole affair is encased in the same kind of anodized, colored aluminum you've come to expect from an iPod nano. In case you're wondering, this particular model can be had in seven different colors -- which weirdly makes us think that Apple believes someone out there will get one for every day of the week. Though the previous generation device sported a video camera, that's been ditched in the new model along with the physical controls. Anyone who's spent a lot of time on the go with the nano will probably be happy about these changes -- the clickwheel could be a bit hard to navigate with accuracy, say, when jogging.
Other than that, the new nano is considerably lighter than the previous model, weighing in at roughly 21 grams, whereas the older version clocked in at about 36g. In fact, it's so light that when using the clip to attach it to a shirt (or in our case, the strap of a bag), you barely notice it hanging there at all.
The nano boasts just three hardware buttons -- one larger button on the top right for power / sleep, and two smaller, circular ones on the top left for volume controls, another change we appreciate. In the previous nano, in order to adjust the volume you had to unlock the device then navigate with the wheel. Now with actual hardware buttons, you can turn the volume up or down without ever actually looking at the player. It's a minor but welcome improvement. If these buttons are a byproduct of Steve Jobs hating buttons, we like it.
While that screen is small, it's not hard to get around in, and the touch response seemed about as tight as it is on the new touch or iPhone. Multitouch rotation worked just fine, and in general use, moving from place to place with the new nano was considerably faster than on previous models.
Overall, we think the design is a big step forward for this line of players. Eschewing the staid clickwheel for a simple touchscreen interface is a big plus in our book, and the high-end feel to the materials and build quality makes this seem right at home next to something like the new iPhone. Of course, at this size, you're far more likely to lose this thing -- and the price tag will make that sting a bit more than if you misplaced a shuffle.
Software
The iPod nano's strongest suit has always been its simplicity of purpose, and that's never been more evident than in this newest device. If there was ever confusion for buyers about whether to get a nano or something more full-featured, such as the touch -- that argument is dead. Apple's ditched the video camera and the ability to play back video here, along with lots of other "extra" stuff (contacts, calendars, notes, games). With the new nano, you can listen to audio and look at photos -- and that's it.
The new interface is far more intuitive than the classic iPod interface, in our estimation. Though you have just as many playback and sorting options as before, the multitouch, iOS-ness of the experience strips away the feeling of endlessly scrolling through menus (often without context) to get to what you're looking for. The new UI looks and acts just like iOS, but according to Apple the nano is not actually running a build of iOS. We know that previous iPod UIs were built using a handful of components from OS X, so it's safe to assume that this new interface is made up of a hodgepodge of tried and tested frameworks. The results are great -- the nano feels like iOS in all the ways that matter (so much so that we mistakenly call it a "phone" in the video below), including inertial scrolling, the ability to rearrange your homescreens, and general navigation throughout the device.
Getting around the UI is similar, though not exact, to iOS. To navigate you flip through a couple of pages of iPhone-style icons. It's like a micro Springboard. You can hold down on an icon to put it into "jiggly mode," and then move the icons as you would in iOS. When you're using one of the functions of the device, you can long press on the center of the screen to return to your homescreen; swiping to the right when you're listening to music or viewing photos will take you back through your previous screens until you land on home. Lists are scrollable and multi-tiered just like in iOS. There is the occasional hidden dialog in some places that we found odd, like where Apple placed the "add" and "edit" buttons for playlists -- they're unexposed at the top of your playlist screen, and require a scroll up to discover.
Long lists of songs, artists and albums are still present here, but the new interface has streamlined a lot of actions in a way that makes the nano feel much neater than previous models. Dedicated icons for podcasts, the FM radio (a feature we're glad was held over from the last generation), voice recorder (as long as you've got earbuds with a mic plugged in), and the fitness functions make getting to what you need to easy even when you're not fully paying attention -- which is a great advantage of graphic, rather than text-based, menus. There are also tasteful little tweaks too, like being able to set the default lock screen of the nano to an analog clock. We're sure there will be a slew of aftermarket armbands for this -- and honestly, it does make kind of a cool looking watch.
Oh, and you can use multitouch to rotate the screen to whatever orientation you like, but there's no multitouch in the photos application. You can double tap to zoom in, however.
Sound quality / playback
Sound quality seems to have improved a bit over the last generation, as well -- though we can't be scientifically positive, it sounds to us like Apple's made some iterative improvements here. Bass felt full and deep, and highs were less cutting than on most players we've used, though the Zune and Walkman sound quality are tough to beat in this category. Still, for a player of this size and price point, the nano performs excellently.
Wrap-up
Ultimately, if you've had the same iPod nano for the past few years, this new device will probably make you feel like you need a replacement. While there isn't slew of fresh additions (in fact, there are notable subtractions), the re-think about what the nano is supposed to be feels right to us. It's still not exactly your cheapest option if you're looking for pure MP3 playback, but something tells us that if you're looking at the nano, you're living in Apple's ecosystem, and that makes this a pretty attractive choice. We ultimately would like to see the capacities on these guys grow a bit, and those prices drop, but there's no sticker shock here. The new nano is a smart, fast, capable player that should please a lot of people looking for something new this holiday season.

Business Week publish an article saying that the new iPod nano, although its getting bigger and more luxurious, it was the capital to make it cheaper!
A team of the new iPod nano unpacking and sorting components. Once sorted out, it turns out the price of raw materials from the iPod nano is cheaper than the previous generation. In fact far more sophisticated features. Well, it means Apple will be more profit with each sale of the iPod nano, except if Apple lowered the price.
This is the result of technological advances. Increasing technology, the cheaper the price of a product. Of course it could be the same price, but features increased. Please select. To be sure, we as consumers really benefit from this technological advancement.

The first generation of the iPod Nano was introduced in the end of 2005 as a replacement for the iPod mini. [1] It uses flash memory for storage. The iPod Nano has gone through six models, or Generations, since its introduction. The current "sixth generation" iPod nano supports FM radio, a pedometer, and a 39.1 millimeters (1:54 in) square 240x240 display with a multitouch interface.

* MP4
History
Development work on the design of the iPod Nano started only nine months before its launch date. [2] The Nano was launched in two colors (black and white) with two available sizes: 2 GB (roughly 500 songs) and 4 GB (1000 songs). [1] On February 7, 2006, Apple updated the lineup with the 1 GB model (240 songs). [3] Also Apple released Some accessories, Including armbands and silicone "tubes" Designed to bring color to the Nano and protect it from scratches, as well as a combination lanyard-earphone accessory That hangs around the neck, and avoids the problem of tangled earphone Cords.
Electronics
The iPod Nano uses general-purpose integrated circuits (IC) instead of Smaller, low-cost custom-developed chips, possibly to reduce time-to-market. This design, however, increases the number of electronic components and increases the cost. Japanese engineers estimated the component cost of the 2 GB Nano as Between JP ¥ 22,000 and JP ¥ 27,000 (U.S. $ 185-US $ 227), [citation needed] the which was high compared to the retail price of JP ¥ 21.800 (U.S. $ 183) at the time. [citation needed] The cost of 2 GB Nano's flash memory was about JP ¥ 14,000 (U.S. $ 118). [citation needed] Also Apple opted for the 0603 (1.6x0.8 mm) surface mount technology, the which was just beginning widespread use in mobile phones in 2005. [4] The iPod Nano uses a PortalPlayer PP5021C "system on a chip" with dual embedded 80 MHz ARM processors 7TDMI.
Reception
The first generation iPod Nano packaging.
The size of the package was reduced 50 percent with the introduction of the second generation. The fourth and fifth generation packaging mimics this packaging, while the third generation of Otherwise Used a larger but similar version of it.
The initial consumer response to the iPod Nano was overwhelmingly positive and sales were the resource heavy. The Nano sold its first million units in only 17 days, Helping Apple Inc. to a record billion-dollar profit in 2005.
Apple's release of the iPod Nano as a replacement for the iPod mini was viewed by many as a risky move. Steve Jobs has argued That the iPod Nano was a Necessary risk since competitors were the resource persons beginning to catch up to the iPod Mini in terms of design and features, and believed the iPod Nano Would PROVE to be even more popular and successful Than the iPod Mini.
Within days of the Nano's release, Some users reported damage to the Nano, suggesting the LCD screen That Had That changed from so scratched it was unreadable, even Pls the backlight was on. Many have reported fine scratches on Their Nano is the caused by Microfiber Cloths. Other owners reported That Their Nano's screen cracked with no provocation. On 27 September 2005, Apple confirmed a small percentage ("Less than one tenth of 1 percent") of iPod Nanos shipped with a faulty screen and Agreed to replace any Nanos with cracked screens, but denied the iPod Nano was more susceptible to scratching Than prior iPods. Apple started shipping iPod Nanos with a protective sleeve to protect Them from scratches. In October 2005 a class action lawsuit was filed against Apple, with the plaintiffs seeking reimbursement for the device, legal fees, and "unlawful or illegal profits" from sales of the iPod Nano. Lawyers for the plaintiffs claim That the devices "scratch excessively During normal usage, rendering the screen on the Nanos unreadable, and violating state consumer protection statutes." Similar lawsuits were the resource persons later filed in Mexico and the United Kingdom. As of early 2009, Apple is in the process of settling a court case over the scratched iPod Nano screens, it has been suggested for Apple to set aside $ 22 million to refund users. A Judge will from need to sign off the terms by 28 April 2009. Some Commentators Such as BusinessWeek's Arik Hesseldahl have criticized the lawsuits. Them Hesseldahl dismissed as "stupid" and suggested That They benefitted "no one but the trial lawyers," but suggested That Apple Could Also have avoided litigation by offering "full refunds on unwanted Nanos" instead of charging a re-stocking fee and lengthening the return period from 14 days (Pls purchased through Apple retail or online) to 30 or 60 days.
Incidents
In Australia, an iPod Nano caught fire while being charged on a PC. Since the limited warranty was over, the consumer was not Able to get a replacement right away.
Another iPod incident Happened in the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport while a man was working in the airport. His Trousers iPod Nano sets his on fire. Apple Inc.., Refused to release a statement Regarding this issue.
In Addition, an iPod Nano sparked in Japan in January while it was recharging. Although no one was injured During the incident, Apple Inc. investigated the incident. It was reported on 19 August 2008 That 17 incidents of abnormal overheating with first-generation iPod Nano units while recharging Had been reported in Japan, Including cases in the which Tatami Mats Had been charred. [21] On August 10, 2010, Apple Japan released That a statement saying It would replace any iPod Nanos That overheated.
Generations
First generation
Black first-generation iPod Nano.
Advertising emphasized the iPod Nano's small size: 40 millimeters (1.6 in) wide, 90 millimeters (3.5 in) long, 6.9 millimeters (0:27 in) thick and weighs 42 grams (1.5 oz), its stated I battery life of up to 14 hours , and its screen of 176 x 132 pixels, 38 millimeters (1.5 in) diagonal, displaying 65.536 colors (16-bit color).
Second generation
On 12 September 2006, Apple updated the Nano line. The second-generation Nano features scratch-resistant, anodized aluminum casing like the Earlier Mini's design, the multiple color choices (silver, green, pink, blue, and black) mirror those of the Mini as well. However, unlike the second-generation mini, the button labels do not match the color of the Nano. Instead, They are gray, like the first-generation mini, except for the black iPod the which has a black click wheel. The second-generation Nano features "a Brighter, more vibrant display", a battery life upgrade (from 14 to 24 hours), and doubled storage sizes with the new 2, 4, and 8 GB models (compared to the previous 1, 2 , and 4 GB models). The second generation iPod Nanos Also support gapless playback of audio files, a new search option, and a 40 percent Brighter screen. The 2 GB model was available in silver only. The 4 GB was initially available in green, blue, silver, or pink. The 8 GB model was initially only available in black but Product Red was later added. Apple claims That the second-generation iPod Nano's packaging is "32% lighter and uses 52% less volume Than the first generation", thereby reducing environmental impact and shipping cost at the Same time.
On 13 October 2006, Apple Announced a special edition iPod Nano Product Red, with a red exterior and 4 GB of storage. For EACH red iPod Nano sold in the United States, Apple donates U.S. $ 10 to the Product Red initiative, while Retaining the regular price. On 3 November 2006, Apple introduced a red 8 GB model, due to "outstanding customer demand", while Also Retaining the Same price point of the black model with an equally large storage capacity.
On 26-27 December 2006, Apple Computer's website and servers crashed due to people downloading the iTunes software since so many iPods sold were the resource persons That Christmas season.
Third generation

Users Bought Had to repurchase games before a month prior to the debut of the new iPod as notes They were the resource persons supported. The Nano was Announced in a 4 GB version coming in silver and an 8 GB version coming in silver, turquoise, mint green, black, and Product Red. The battery lasted for approx. 24 hours on audio playback and approx. 5 hours on video playback. On 22 January 2008, Apple released a pink version of the 8 GB iPod Nano.
Combining elements from previous Generations of the iPod Nano, the third-generation Nano Had an aluminum front plate and a stainless steel back plate. The Nano Also sported a new minimalistic hold switch, similar to the iPod Shuffle's power switch, the which Had been moved to the bottom of the player. The 2-inch (51 mm) screen Had the smallest dot pitch of any Apple product, having the Same pixel count as the 2.5-inch (64 mm) display of the iPod Classic.
On 6 October 2007, Apple released a firmware update (1.0.2) via iTunes That was said to improv Cover Flow and yield faster menu navigation. [28] The update was Also released for the iPod Classic. On 28 November 2007, Apple released another firmware update (1.0.3) via iTunes, the which included unspecified bugfixes. 15 January 2008 saw the release of version 1.1, the which added support for iTunes movie rentals, music song lyrics support and included more unspecified bugfixes.

Fourth generation
Fourth-generation iPod Nano.
At the Apple Let's Rock Event on September 9, 2008, the iPod Nano 4th Generation was Officially Announced. [29] It returned to the narrow form factor of the 1st and 2nd Generation models, while Retaining and rotating the 51 millimeters (2.0 in) screen from the 3rd gen models. It was Also Thinner Than the 1G, 2G and 3G, measuring 90.7 millimeters (3:57 in) tall by 38.7 millimeters (1:52 in) wide by 6.2 millimeters (0:24 in) thick, and weighing 36.8 grams (1.30 oz). It Had a curved aluminum shell and glass screen (the glass screen being held in place with nothing but the shell). Would Apple claimed the battery last 24 hours of music playback, and only 4 hours of video playback, compared to the 5 hours of the previous generation.
The six previous colors (silver, black, mint, turquoise, berry red, and rose pink) were the resource persons Replaced by silver, black, purple, light blue, green, yellow, orange, red, and pink, for a total of nine, although The Product Red color was only available directly from Apple (website and retail stores). Apple marketed the new colors as "nano-chromatic". Also added was an accelerometer the which allows the Nano to shuffle songs by shaking it, the option Between portrait and landscape display modes by tilting the iPod left or right, and access to Cover Flow Pls tilted sideways. [30] Videos, however, only Could Played some in landscape mode. The user interface was refreshed Also, adding a more stylized look in keeping with the new hardware design.

[31] Also, the iPod Quiz game was dropped and Replaced with a Maze game the which makes use of the iPod's accelerometer similarly to Such games on the iPhone and iPod Touch.
The fourth generation dropped support for charging via FireWire. "This change means any dock accessories That That use the dock connector's FireWire pins to send power-many older speakers and car chargers, for example-will from not charge the 4G iPod Nano."
[Edit] Fifth generation
Fifth-generation iPod Nano camera and microphone.
At Apple's September 9, 2009 event, a fifth-generation iPod Nano was unveiled with reduced prices on the larger models (at the time of release, the 8GB was price approach at $ 149 and the 16GB at $ 179), a larger, 56.3 millimeters (2:22 in ) diagonal screen (up from 50.8 millimeters (2.00 in) in third and fourth generation iPod Nanos), the which is wider Also, [33] integrated video camera with 16 special effects, microphone, FM Radio with iTunes tagging (via RDS) radio multiple Including regions Americas, Asia, Australia, Europe, and Japan.
