Nearly half the size and weight of the previous
generation, the new iPod nano features a polished aluminum and glass
enclosure with a built-in clip, making it instantly wearable. The new iPod
nano features Genius Mixes, the ability to create and edit playlists, a
built-in FM radio with live pause and up to 24 hours of music playback on
a single battery charge.*
“This is the biggest reinvention of the iPod nano since its debut in
2005, and we think users are going to love it,” said Steve Jobs,
Apple’s CEO. “Replacing the click wheel with our Multi-Touch interface
has enabled us to shrink the iPod nano into an amazingly small design that
is instantly wearable with its built-in clip.”
The new iPod nano with Apple’s Multi-Touch interface allows users to
access their songs, artists, albums and playlists with a tap or swipe of
their finger on the display. Holding down a finger returns the user to the
Home screen, and users can easily use two fingers to rotate the screen if
it is clipped onto their clothing upside down. Users can also customise
their Home screen by simply dragging icons from other screens onto the
Home screen.
iPod nano also features Shake® to Shuffle™, giving music lovers the
ability to shake their iPod nano to shuffle to a new song in their music
library. With its built-in FM radio, iPod nano lets you listen to your
favourite radio stations, and live pause lets you pause and resume playing
your favourite FM radio shows without missing a beat.
