New iPod nanos: Full of Color, Features and More
Today, Apple announced updates on the entire iPod line. First up: the new iPod nano (4G). Here’s a run-down of the new features:
THE LOOK (or what we like to call Form Factor)
These nanos are strangely familiar looking!
- Tall (rectangular) and aluminum, much like the 2G nanos
- Rounded corners
- Thinnest iPod ever
CAPACITY
The new nanos have gained capacity, an essential feature for the multimedia applications it can be used for.
- 8GB and 16GB (up from 4GB and 8GB)
FEATURES
- Plays music, photos, video
- 24-hour music, 4-hour video battery life
- “Shake to shuffle” (shake iPod and it will shuffle your music; I imagine you can possibly turn off this feature if you’re running…?)
- Rotating screen (good for CoverFlow mode (like the touch and iPhone)
- Still has patented scroll wheel design, not touch screen
COLORS
The whole line has been refreshed with 9 new colors, in fantastic ROY G. BIV fashion (or close enough).
- Red (still only Product RED)
- Orange (it’s back!)
- Yellow
- Green
- Blue
- Purple (close enough to a Indigo/Violet hybrid)
- Pink (pinkish-Violet)
- Silver
- Black
ENVIRONMENTAL SPECS
Touted as the “cleanest” and most “toxic-free” iPods Apple has ever made, the new nanos are getting greener, for sure.
- Arsenic-free glass
- BFR-free
- Mercury-free
- PVC-free
- Highly recyclable
PRICE
- $149 for the 8GB model
- $199 for the 16GB model
