Try as hard as you like, you cannot deny that Apple has an uncanny ability to keep on making great products. Every time you think it's impossible to make improvements to their iPod music players, along comes another revamp that raises the bar yet again.
The new Ipod nano has a bigger screen, it's both shorter and wider than the previous nano - 52 x 70 x 6.5mm (WxHxD) to be precise.
The back continues to be the wonderland of fingerprints with a shiny metallic surface. Also in the front, the Clickwheel continuous to be the main navigation tool, but it's far smaller than the previous Nano. If you thought the earlier Nano had a small Clickwheel, make sure to try out the new Nano before getting one. On the bottom are the headphones jack, the hold switch and the proprietary USB connector.
In addition to video playback capabilities, there's now Cover Flow for better visual navigation with Album Art. Remember Cover Flow? The quick way to zip your finger across the display on your iPhone and zoom past your music collection in a seamless, liquid flow. It's here, and it works, albeit not as well, especially if you have a multitude of albums. But it's cool and interesting, if nothing else. Besides, Click Flow doesn't feel quite the same with Clickwheel navigation. Ah, well, at least Apple tried. Thanks, Apple. We still love you.
