It’s easy to get all swept up with iPhone 5 (I mean iPhone 4S, just as good right) madness and easily forget about the little guy, and that little guy is the iPod Nano. While Apple certainly had a lot to say about the latest iPhone 4S, the Nano was quietly bringing up the rear with it’s cute redesign and improved user-interface.
Tap, swoop, and swipe, it’s that easy with the new Nano, with the multi-touch integration, all one has to do is tap to play, tap to pause, or even tap Music to browse your collection by songs, albums, artists, playlists, etc. The nano will now even allow you to customize your Home screens and organize your music just the way you like. There is even a little shake function on the iPod Nano that changes and shuffles to a new song in you music library. Oh, and did we mention the Nano is now packing a built-in FM Radio?!
Battery life is always important, and the new built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery on the Nano gives up to 24 hours of nonstop music, so those long runs or trips to the gym should be a piece of cake, no wait, scratch that…a piece of celery.
That brings us to the fitness aspect of the Nano which Apple is touting as the perfect device to get you into shape thanks to its built-accelerometer and Nike+ integration. Never one to shy away from making a fashion statement, Apple is also hoping iPod users will even start using their Nano’s as a glorified wristwatch.
