The New Ipod Nano 16gb Product Review
The new iPod Nano has been given a memory boost boasting 8GB or 16GB. However even with increased storage space the 4th-gen iPod Nano is still behind the like of the Creative Zen in the flash memory department which has 32GB.But the ultra-thin nano, which you can now get in a rainbow of nine metallic colors available in both 8GB and 16GB versions, slides into your pocket like no other device out there and is pretty stylish to boot.
This new iPod is lighter than light, weighing only 1.3 ounces and measuring 3.6x1.5x24, the iPod Nano has dropped the 3rd-gen's heavy look and returned to the original long and tall design. The iPod Nano’s aluminum body is rounded at the sides, making the iPod Nano feel very tiny in our hands.
The click wheel is farther from the bottom this time around, making for better ergonomics and easier to use for those with larger hands. The dock connector on the bottom is once again offset to the left next to the headphone jack, and the hold switch is now on the top of the iPod Nano 16GB. The 2-inch screen is made of curved glass, following the design of the curved body, and it's oriented in portrait (240 x 320 pixels), which is better for looking at long lists of songs.
The interface of the iPod Nano has also been redesigned, taking better advantage of the screen's size and shape. Replacing the split-screen main menu is a more sensible banner along the bottom that shows previews of whatever you've highlighted. For music and photos, that means a steady stream of thumbnails going by, which is much less distracting than the Ken Burns-style previews of the previous iPod Nano.
Being able to make the menu fonts bigger is a brilliant new feature, which would have been difficult on the old split screen. And the new interface supports spoken menus for the visually impaired -- or for those of us which are too lazy to take the player out of their pocket. Another great touch: You can turn the iPod Nano sideways when you're browsing music to activate CoverFlow, so you can browse by flipping through the album covers. In list-browsing mode, when you drill down to Albums, you now get thumbnail previews next to each album name.
One handy new design of the iPod Nano is the contextual pop-up menu that appears when you hold the center button. In Music mode, this will enable you access the new Genius feature. The Genius feature monitors the songs you play then creates playlists of tunes that supposedly will go well together or recommends song you may like. Another way to enable Genius is by pressing the center button twice while on the ‘now playing’ screen which will bring up a Genius slider that you are able to move with the click wheel.
