iPod Nano 3G

The debut of widescreen iPod Nano came as expected with more colors and the new video-friendly capability that allows users to watch video in the wide screen format, and also there are more hidden features added.

The new specs include the 320x240 display (with an LED backlight) and also with a higher pixel density – 240dpi. The player is compact; it has a curved metal casing giving the impression of a smaller Classic indeed, with its size of 7x5.2 x 0.7 cm, weighing just 49g. The battery powers the player for 24 hours of music playback and 5 hours of video play.

As a new storage type, the new Nano uses 4GB or 8GB of flash memory, depending on the chosen model. The new iPod series now comes with iPod Games meant to keep you busy while you get bored of listening to music or watching videos. Just like the Classic, the Nano features an updated iPod user interface with iTunes’ Cover Flow album selection system. The available colors are silver, black, green, blue and red. The same colors have been applied to the revamped iPod Shuffle collection, which has just as the previous version just 1 GB as storage capacity.

A percentage of the sales from the Product Red version goes to the Bono-backed charity of AIDS-awareness. The Shuffle line has a 12-hour music-play time and are available now at $79. The Nano version of 4GB is available only in silver color and the price is $149, while the 8GB version comes in all the colors mentioned above at $199.

This new line of media players is more likely to have an increasing success compared the previous 2GB version of Nano because of the new storage capabilities and multimedia features. Of course I wouldn’t imagine myself watching 5 hours of iPod videos but it is quite a good thing the battery lasts a bit longer than the former model as it doesn’t need to be recharged very often.
