Apple iPod nano

Today Apple released the new iPod nano, which comes in black as well as white, and in 2 GB and 4 GB versions. It also has a color screen and a clickwheel.

Here’s one thing to note, from a review:

Not Quite a Full-Grown iPod

Although the iPod nano can display pictures and slideshows like today’s color iPods, it doesn’t have all the capabilities of these iPods. For example, you’ll find no TV Out commands in its Slideshow Settings window because it can’t project pictures to an attached television. Also, it doesn’t work with Apple’s iPod Camera

Connector or Belkin’s Media Reader, which means you can’t upload pictures to it. And although the Diagnostic Screen shows a LineIn test, current iPod microphones require a connection to the Remote Control port as well, which is missing on the nano.

Will I be getting one? Probably not. I’m happy with my Creative MuVo N200, and I recommend it to anyone who wants line-in, a built-in microphone, FM radio, and FM recording. In addition, I’m saving up for those Intel PowerBooks :)

How to Upload Pictures to the iPod nano

It has to be done in iTunes, rather than dragging and dropping through the Windows interface. Go to Preferences -> Photos. Your iPod needs to be plugged in. From there, you can select which photos to synchronize.

This is to WJ. The iPod nano do not come in 40 gig models. They only come in 2 and 4 gigs. Maybe your made a typo.

 

i really want one of these

i like the black the best im just worried that it would snap in my pocket if i leaned to far forward to tie my shoelace or something

but thats just me being paranoid

i cant see people wanting the ipod mini or shuffle now

no wonder there so eager to give them away with walkers crisps?

oh and jake s check out http://www.exceem.co.uk
about the pyramid scams?
they look pretty legitimate to me
multi level marketing programs work but not for everyone

 

It can do a lot of things that it’s older brothers can… like propegate ipodsforfree.com pyramid scams.

 

I just got a black 40G iPod Nano and a digital car interface to hook it up to my VW Jetta Wagon 2002. Everyting worked flawlessly. The black iPod is stunning. It has a clear and bright color screen and feels solid. The only problem is that the shiny finish smudges very easily and will probably get scratched easily if not protected.

I was wondering: could it be that the nano2TV slideshow connection will be made possible through the dock via a 3rd party (or an Apple accessory) solution?

You could tell from the inclusion of black on the Apple web site, that the new Intel machines will come in that amazing color (appropriate “move to the dark side” with the move to Intel)

 

Cool the way you got your name on the picture!
