iPod Nano
Apple once again has produced a design that beats the competition hands down. The iPod Nano. The designers and engineers at Apple have reworked the full-size iPod and made it real slim. At just 7 x 52 x 70 cm in size this will be one popular iPod selling in the millions worldwide.
Apple say that this is a whopping 62 percent smaller than the now-discontinued iPod mini that the nano has utimately replaced. It weighs just 1.5 ounces, and it fits in all pockets discretely even the smaller front pocket of your jeans.
Apple have made a few changes with some compromises but some real improvements—with the end result being a superb Apple iPod Nano product.
OK, it doesn’t have an FM tuner but it does have an unrivalled interface, a colour screen, superior sound quality to any other MP3 out there, and it ooozes syle. And as it’s flash-based, you won’t have to worry about skipping music or dead hard drives.
