iPod nano review

The sixth generation of the Apple iPod nano has been completely redesigned and packs a serious punch for its nanolike size. In this iPod nano review we look at when the iPod nano was originally launched back in 2005. The iPod has moved to a much more sleek user interface, a full multi touch screen device. The portable music player is no bigger than your average stamp, only this stamp is alive. This new generation device has a new state of the art operating system. The graphical interface has taken on the look and feel of the famous Apple iOS found on devices such as the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.

iPod nano

The iPod nano review continues to be a simple to use device, however the void between the iPod Touch and Nano has increased, if there was ever consumer confusion, it ends now. Apple has ditched most features including the camera and video playback. The nano does music and photos, that’s about it.

The new interface offers a rich experience and is way more intuitive than the classic iPod. You have the same playback and sorting options as before, the new touch screen, multitouch screen allows you to effortlessly find just what you are after without years off scrolling as our music collections are getting bigger by the day. The new GUI looks and feels just like iOS, built from different tried and tested components from years of OS X development. So we know we’re getting something quality straight off the bat.

With brilliant results – the nano feels just like iOS in all the ways that count.

The micro springboard offers a similar experience to iOS however not exactly the same. Moving icons around to customise your display is available in jiggly mode as Apple likes to call it. Return back to your home screen by just pressing down on the center of the screen. Swipe right to go to previous menu’s.

Lets get down to business, what’s the sound quality like.

Definite improvement in sounds quality over the previous generations. For me the bass felt to have much more punch, the treble we less scratchy than on other players. In terms of functionality and price, you aren’t going to get better value than the iPod nano, it’s excellent.

Summary

In my opinion if I had an iPod nano review from a previous generation, I would probably stick with it. I’m not sure the vast amount of Apple customers want functionality taken away. It’s always much harder to take something away than give it. I really thought Apple would be giving us more, rather than taking away. The nano isn’t the cheapest device on the market either if your looking for a functionally sound mp3 music device. More capacity will come in the future, that’s only natural. Pricing dropping wouldn’t go astray either.
