iLights. iCamera. iAction!

You're groovin' down the street, listening to your latest playlist on your iPod nano, when something catches your eye. There's a couple dancing the tango in an alley, music coming from a small, portable stereo set down on the concrete. You look around; nobody else seems to have noticed. This is incredible. You stop and move closer. This is too good not to share, so you pull your nano out of your pocket, press pause, raise it up to eye level and start recording . . . Wait! Recording? You mean, like, video? That's right, the Apple iPod nano now lets you record H.264, 640x480 video. Not only is the expanded, 2.2" LCD screen an ideal viewscreen for composing your video, but you can switch from portrait to landscape view to catch that provocative arrastre. Finally, AAC audio recording ensures that you capture both the dancers' moves and the beat of the tango they're dancing. And finally, fifteen different real-time video effects dramatically expand your creative control.

Tune in

Sure, in today's world of portable audio players that let you listen to your favorite tunes whenever and wherever you want, something like radio programming seems a little archaic. But hey, where else are you going to hear the latest craze, or catch up on breaking news while you're on the go? The Apple iPod nano now sports an FM radio tuner . . . but that's just the beginning. With Live Pause technology, you can actually pause the radio programming you're listening to with a single click. Then, tune back in with another click. Further, you can even rewind as much as 15 minutes to replay a song or news story, and then fast forward to catch up with the live broadcast. And then . . . iTunes Tagging capability lets you use the nano's Click Wheel to tag a song on the radio so that you can find it easily on iTunes.

Loud and clear

Like most people, you keep your iPod nano in your pocket, your backpack, or your purse while you're listening. Now, let's say you've just downloaded a totally new mix of music with new artists and everything, and you hear a song you really like. For future reference, you could pull the nano out of your pocket and check the artist and song title, or you could just let VoiceOver technology tell you. VoiceOver technology speaks song titles and artist names right over the headphones without interrupting your music. And no importa quelle langue parli tu, VoiceOver supports 20 different languages.

Oh, yeah . . . and it's an iPod nano

Now, don't be too bedazzled by all of the new features: underneath the new glam, this revamped iPod nano is still the nano you love and adore. The Genius feature finds the songs in your music library that go great together and makes a Genius playlist for you. A built-in accelerometer allows you to switch between landscape and portrait view on the LCD. Give it a shake and it shuffles to a different song in your library. Turn it on its side to flip through your album art in Cover Flow. And tilt, move, and play accelerometer-inspired games (games available separately). And the 8GB capacity puts up to 2,000 songs, 8 hours of video, or 7,000 photos at your disposal. Additionally, a Voice Memo function lets you record spoken memos or reminders for yourself.
