iPod nano

At a press event yesterday, Apple made several announcements – the iPod shuffle now starts in price at $59, iTunes 9 was unveiled, a new iPod touch hit the marketplace, but what really caught our attention was the new iPod nano which now features a built-in video camera, mic and speaker!

The new iPod nano also has a larger 2.2-inch color display and videos can be shot and shared in either portrait or landscape mode. iPod nano can even shoot videos with fun effects such as Thermal, Film Grain, Kaleido and X-Ray. Also new to the nano is Genius Mixes, a feature which creates up to 12 mixes of songs from your iTunes library that go great together. If that's not enough, Apple has added a built-in FM radio with live pause and iTunes Tagging, as well as a built-in pedometer.

The new nano is available now in an 8GB model for $149 and a 16GB model for $179, and comes in nine colors including silver, black, purple, blue, green, orange, yellow, (PRODUCT) RED and pink.

Much to my surprise, this new shuffle is nearly half the size of the previous model…and get this…it TALKS to you. With its VoiceOver feature, the new shuffle can speak your song titles, artists and playlist names. It is smaller than a AA battery and can hold up to 1,000 songs.

The third generation 4GB iPod shuffle is now available in silver or black for $79 through the Apple Store.

The Ultimate iPod and iTunes Resource


iPodpedia: The Ultimate iPod and iTunes Resource Do you want to make the most of your iPod? The tips below are provided by author Michael Miller from his new book iPodpedia: The Ultimate iPod and iTunes Resource.

AVERAGE CONSUMER TIPS
1. Rate Your Songs
The song rating feature is one of the most underused features of iPod/iTunes -- even though it's quite easy. While the song is playing on your iPod, press the center Select button three times, then scroll the Click Wheel to add or subtract stars. Press the Select button again when you're done. This not only changes the rating of the song on your iPod, but also the rating in iTunes -- when you next sync your iPod, that is.

2. Rip a CD Directly Into a Playlist
Here's a bit of a time saver. If you have a new CD that you want to rip to hard disk and also add to a pre-existing playlist, you can do the ripping and adding in a single step. Just insert the CD into your PC's CD drive, select all the songs on the CD within iTunes, and then drag the songs to the desired playlist in the Source pane. When you start the rip, the CD tracks will be automatically added to your library and to the selected playlist, all in a single step. Read more
