IPod Nano

Features of the iPod Nano

There are an incredible amount of features on an iPod Nano, considering its humble size. Three different models are capable of holding 240 songs (1GB), 500 songs (2GB), and 1000 songs (4GB). Like its sister inventions, the iPod and iPod shuffle, the nano is controlled with a click wheel. Simple to use, the click wheel controls what you are listening to with only the slightest movement of your thumb.

There is a crystal clear, 1.5-inch color menu on the iPod nano. You have the option of searching for music by artist, album song, genre, composer, and playlist. Also, there is a Shuffle feature if you want an interesting mix. You have the option of listening to iTunes, podcasts, and accessing audiobooks. Another popular feature of the iPod nano is the photo storage. A Nano can hold up to 25,000 pictures and they are all brilliantly displayed on the menu. Want to do more than scroll through pictures? You can also view them in slideshows set to music.

Additional features of an iPod nano include an address book (uploaded from your PC or Mac), a calendar, and world clock. A locking feature can prevent unwanted viewers from looking at your iPod’s information. Last, but not least, are the four games available for play on the iPod nano: Solitaire, Music Quiz, Brick and Parachute

iPod Nano Extras

The iPod nano makes its home in a Dock, where it can charge, synch, or connect to another audio system. A USB adapter is also available, which can charge up the nano’s long-lasting battery (the battery lasts up to 14 hours). A host of additional accessories are available for the nano. That includes various kinds of earbuds, protective cases, and tubes, which add a colorful, personalized cover to your nano. If you are fast on the go while listening to your music, there is a great armband holder you can wear, which is also available in an assortment of colors.

Apple was slow to release accessories for the Nano, but many third party firms quickly brought cases and other add-ons to market. One firm even makes a case that looks like -- astroturf. Really.
