I recently visited my local Apple store to check out the new iPods announced the beginning of the month. First what changed the iPod nano lost its video camera and ability to play video entirely and just about everything else it is now about the size of the iPod shuffle and has a 1.5” touchscreen. The iPod Touch got the A4 chipset a front and rear camera retina display. The iPod shuffle got it’s old shape and buttons back YAY!!!!
iPod Nano
like I said above changed the iPod nano lost its video camera and ability to play video entirely and just about everything else it is now about the size of the iPod shuffle and has a 1.5” touchscreen.
While it looks like an iOS device you cannot put apps on the device just the ones it comes with. The touchscreen is a nice touch but I have a problem with the implementation of it is just too small for me to use scrolling through music especially if you have a lot will take a while and you if it is not clipped to you it is a two handed affair whereas the old one with the click wheel was not. If you are in a screen and want to go home you press and hold the screen in a blank space the only problem is and it could be me it would not do it consistently and while and owner of it would get better at it I find it quite annoying that it doesn’t work consistently. There is one cool thing you can do with it though with it being so small with the clock on it you can get a special watch band the nano clips on and becomes an expensive watch that plays music, neat (I guess).
iPod Touch
The iPod touch has always been the iPhone for the people who don’t want to commit to AT&T’s god awful cell service. (I don’t blame you) The iPod touch followed suit with the A4 chipset the retina display and the 2 camera which include the ability to Face Time with iPhone 4 owner s and other iPod touches and the new game center a way to play games with friends like on your console. I have always liked the iPod touch and it just gets better over time
iPod Shuffle
the iPod shuffle (the cheap one) got it’s buttons back and no longer looks it a stick of gum not much more to say about it.
