Redrawing The Plans

iPod nano redefines the word redesigned. Featuring a smaller, thinner, lighter anodized aluminum enclosure available in any of four colors--like this 4 GB blue model--or sleek black, iPod nano looks and feels as good as it sounds. A brighter display adds more brilliance to your album art and photos, a dock connector that fits an entire ecosystem of iPod accessories, and battery life is now up to 24 hours. In fact, just about the only thing that hasn't changed is the name. This iPod nano puts up to 1,000 songs in your pocket. Seamless integration with iTunes means you can shop for music, audiobooks, and podcasts on the iTunes Store--24 hours a day, 7 days a week--then sync everything to your iPod nano just by connecting it to your Mac or PC. And with room for over five days of music, you'll never run out of tunes. Even up to 25,000 of your photos (actual capacity varies with content) can come along for the ride. With features like these, iPod nano changes the way you experience your music and photos.

Scroll Down Memory Lane

Finding and playing music on iPod nano is simple. Menu options let you browse by artist, composer, album, song, genre, or playlist. Want to mix things up? Click Shuffle Songs. iPod nano makes your music look as good as it sounds, thanks to a 1.5-inch color display. Album art appears alongside your song titles, so you see your music as you play it. iPod nano holds up to 25,000 photos (actual capacity varies with content) you can sync from your Mac or Windows PC via iTunes. Use the Click Wheel to scroll through photo thumbnails the same way you scroll through song titles. To see a photo full-screen, click the center button. You can even view photo slideshows, complete with music. Just select Slideshow Settings and choose the time between slides, the transition effect, and the music. And when you dare to wear iPod nano, you'll speak volumes--without saying a word.

Catch Up On Your Reading--And The News

The digital shelves of the iTunes Store are stocked with thousands of audiobooks (fees charged, not included), with exclusives like the entire Harry Potter series, so you can catch up on your reading wherever iPod nano takes you. Browse audiobooks in their own menu on your iPod nano. iPod nano automatically recognizes where you left off reading and bookmarks your place. You can even change the reading speed to suit you. The iTunes Store also offers thousands of free podcasts--radio-type shows you subscribe to--including indie favorites and offerings from such big names as ABC News, Comedy Central, ESPN, PBS, NPR, and many more. Browse and subscribe to podcasts, then sync them to your iPod nano and listen anytime, anywhere. Podcasts appear in their own menu on your iPod nano, so you can navigate them easily.

You Don't Adapt To nano, It Adapts To You

Customize menus, check capacity, change your language, change how your iPod nano sounds and more, all from the Settings menu. Click About to see how many songs are on your iPod nano and how much capacity you have left. Click Main Menu to select what items appear in your Main Menu. Tweak the built-in equalizer. Or set a maximum volume limit. Everything you need--from backlight timer to audiobook speed--appears in the Settings menu. Calendars, contacts, and the World Clock appear in the Extras menu, along with a few more handy items. Take the Screen Lock, for example. Spin the Click Wheel to choose a four-digit combination and protect your iPod nano from prying eyes. If you forget your combination, you can reset it at your next sync. Or use the built-in Stopwatch to log your best times. When it's finally time to play, iPod nano features four fun games: Music Quiz, Solitaire, Brick, and Parachute.
