iPod nano 4G
The iPod nano is one of Apple products that most renewals are suffering. Today is back to pass, and it has done so with a return to the elongated format of the first two versions. For the story is flattened and the iPod nano 3G.
However, this iPod nano 4G, in addition to the redesign, introduces important new level of software. It resembles the interface much more to their older brothers. But WiFi or Bluetooth connectivity, which could have provided an excuse to upgrade, falls back into the limbo of what Apple never brought forth. Or if it does, it will be in the form of accessories. It seems incredible that much more complete players, with WiFi, Bluetooth headsets or simple quality, without penalty or glory pass by the windows.

Returning to Apple’s new iPod nano, its screen adopts the widescreen with a size of 2 inches and resolution of 320×240 pixels, backlit white and blue. Accompanying this change of the display is a new, more colorful, with menus more attractive, cover art and complete system Cover Flow. It also has the function Genius ordering a playlist as we are listening.
 
To make the screen rotate and change its format to vertical landscape has been incorporated an accelerometer that also acts as an element to change the song to shake the player. Recall that this role and incorporate some of Sony Ericsson mobile music, so it is nothing new, nor brings a special value to the player. Well yes, a pocket important for Apple encourages us to buy games from the Apple Store to take advantage of this functionality.
The design of the new iPod has been careful enough. Now available in 9 colors more vibrant, and something new is that the full range of colors are available for both versions of the iPod nano, the 8-Gb leaving by 139 euros and 189 euros for 16GB. It was just so absurd condition of capacity when we want a color or another, and that Apple remains on the iPhone for example. Vagaries unnecessary.
The thickness, as we see in the picture below, has been reduced to 6.2 mm, and has been equipped with a completely curved at the ends. Material that is manufactured with the new iPod nano are conveniently bent aluminum and glass.
We will not repeat the usual shortcomings of the Apple iPod (bluetooth, FM radio …) but he has especially disappointed that the iPod Touch will incorporate serial receiver for the Nike iPod system and that in a player like this iPod nano, more focused on the sport, has been ignored. These are small details that leave a bad taste in your mouth.
