Kevin Rose was right: the new iPod Nano 4G is curved and tall like the iPod Nanos before the fatty version. It’s already available online from Apple and should be in stores this weekend. Right away, I can say without equivocation that the design is a success. I could also say without equivocation that I am happy I wasn’t tempted to buy a Nano fatty.
The Nano 4G body is curved and made up of aluminum and glass. It has the new “Genius” feature, which is Apple’s take on Pandora’s Music Genome Project.The new Nano also features a G-sensor, shake-t0-shuffle your music. The 2-inch screen resolution is great and landscape mode for viewing videos goes either way. Oh, yeah, unlike the fatty the 9 colors of the new Nano are terrific. The iPod Nano 4G retails for $149 for the 8GB and $199 for the 16GB.
Quick features:
Thinnest iPod ever
Plays 640 by 480 pixel H.264 and MPEG-4 videos at 30 fps
Compatible with Windows Vista and XP (service pack 3 supported)
Plays 24 hours of music, 4 hours of video
Environmentally friendly: mercury free, PVC free and the glass is arsenic free, aluminum is highly recyclable
