Apple Introduces a New Kind of Nano

Yesterday during Apple’s media event, the leader of the portable music player released an update to its hot-selling mid range iPod – the iPod nano.  This update includes a huge physical appearance change by removing the click wheel and adding a 1.54-inch multi-touch display instead.  The device itself is 1.48 inches tall and 1.61 inches wide and includes a clip on the back making it wearable.  One neat feature demonstrated at the event is the ability to literally twist the interface to orient it the way you want no matter where it’s clipped.  The new nano also includes a built in FM radio that includes the ability to pause and go back 15 minutes, and works with the Nike sports kit, though the sensor is not included so you’ll have to purchase the receiver as well as the transmitter in the shoe.  The new nano also includes accessibility features as well such as VoiceOver for the interface which tells you what your finger is touching, White on Black which reverses the colors on the screen, and Mono Audio to remove the stereo aspect of your music.

One feature that seems to be lacking is the ability to play movies and videos.  None of the available icons on the home screen led to believe that this feature is currently available.  Also there is no camera on this version of the nano.

There are two models in 7 colors: 8GB for $149 (USD) and 16GB for $179 (USD).

This is the biggest update to the iPod nano to date and is available now online shipping in one week.

    There have been some rumors going vabout that Apple has pulled AirPrint from the final release of iOS 4.2. Apparently, a rumor came about yesterday claiming that Apple has axed the feature from the iOS 4.2 final release because of some unforeseen circumstances. Distraught by the speculated exemption of the features, a customer decided to shoot Steve Jobs a letter about it to get a further understanding of the matter. Steve replied saying that AirPrint has not been cut from the final version of the anticipated software update.

    I posted about this earlier on my own site. Your article has actually given me some food for thought, I feel you might have made many very intriguing points. I want I’d found it earlier, previous to writing my very own post.
