The world’s most popular music player now gives you even more to play with
Say you find yourself in the middle of an impromptu shopping trolley race. Or in the canteen when a colossal food fight breaks out. Now you can prove it really happened with the iPod nano video camera. Shoot high-quality video in portrait or landscape — perfect for posting on the web or emailing friends. iPod nano also includes a microphone that captures clean audio you can listen to during playback on the built-in speaker.
Go with the Cover Flow
View your album art in Cover Flow for a faster way to find the song you want to hear. Or just press and hold the centre button to flip the album cover art over so you can see the songs. When you find the right song, press the centre button to add it to your on-the-go playlist.
Design makes rock more glam
iPod nano now has a polished anodised aluminium finish in nine electrifying colours. And a larger 2.2-inch colour display for your viewing pleasure.
Genius Mixes
Now there’s another great way to get a customised set of songs on iPod nano — have Genius do all the work. Introducing Genius Mixes. All you do is sync your iPod nano to iTunes, and Genius automatically searches your library and finds songs that sound great together to create up to 12 Genius Mixes. These genre-based mixes are like channels programmed entirely with your music. It’s a great way to rediscover songs you haven’t listened to for ages, and some you even forgot you had.
Genius Playlists
Say you have one song you really love and want to hear other tracks that go great with it. A few clicks on iPod nano, and Genius uses that song to find other songs in your library and makes a Genius playlist for you. You can listen to the playlist right away, save it for later, or even refresh and give it another go. Count on Genius to create combinations you wouldn’t have thought of yourself.
Shake to shuffle your music
Hear songs in a totally random way. Just turn on Shake to Shuffle, then give iPod nano a shake and it shuffles to a different song in your music library. You never know what iPod nano will spin for you next.
FM radio + Live Pause. Return of the radio star
The new FM tuner lets you see the names of songs and artists. And the amazing new feature — Live Pause — makes listening to the radio nothing like listening to the radio. There’s always something great on the FM dial. And now the FM tuner lets you hear your favourite morning shows on your commute and discover new music while you work out. It even shows you what and who you’re listening to.
With Live Pause, you’ll never miss a beat
Say you need to take a quick break from listening to your favourite radio station. iPod nano lets you pause it with a click. Another click and you’re listening to your station again. You can even rewind as far back as 15 minutes, then fast-forward to catch up to the live broadcast.
VoiceOver. It speaks volumes
VoiceOver speaks the names of songs and artists. So you can navigate your music without looking at the screen. What if you’re listening to a song and want to know the title or the artist? Just use the Click Wheel or the controls on the optional Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic and VoiceOver tells you the song name and who’s performing it without interrupting your music. So you’re never distracted from your ride or run by looking down at your screen.
How it works
You’ll notice how smoothly and easily VoiceOver works. A lot of thought went into creating an iPod nano that not only talks, but says the right things. It all begins with iTunes and its seamless integration with iPod nano. First, iTunes reads your song information, then uses the VoiceOver Kit to generate the announcements for the songs, arti
