New iPod brings thin back
Posted by Manuela Barreto @ September 10th, 2008 in Cool Stuff
Apple just presented a line of colorful, revamped iPods at a San Francisco press event, featuring the iPod Nano which underwent the most changes, followed by the iPod Touch, with just a thinner cut to it and finally, iTunes’ new version revealing a key intelligence system called Genius which recommends what to buy based on the user’s playlists.
It also acts as your personal DJ by playing songs that go great together from your personal playlists.
As for the new Nano, this one has officially become the thinnest Apple iPod ever made and the coolest, I must add. Its new, most eloquent feature -the accelerometer- if you shake your Nano vigorously, like you would an Etch a Sketch, this will shuffle all the songs on your playlists creating a single, random playlist.
Simply shake.. to shuffle!
This same accelerometer also gives the refreshed Nano a mind of its own. It can tell which way is up or sideways, and just like the iPhone, it will flip the image or videos in your screen to the position in which you’re holding the device, whether vertical or horizontal.
The new fourth-generation Nano will come in an 8GB version which will go in the market for €139 and a 16GB version for €189. The design is said to resemble that from the first ever released iPod back in 2005, more elongated and rectangular shaped.
