User Interface
Image credit -- Apple.com
The new iPod nano features an improved user interface with fancy visuals such as Cover Flow.
The display is split in half with the menu's items on the left side and a preview of the selected menu item's contents -- podcasts, music, artists, playlists -- shown on the other side.
When you select a music or video-related category, it uses the album art of tracks, videos or photos in that category for this display.
Once you navigate down to the list of items, the split-screen view is replaced by a full-screen listing that makes it easier to read longer names.
It has a closed-captioning feature which means when you play a video that includes closed-captioning information, the text is displayed on the screen.
New iPod nano also has a 'Cover Flow' feature that's accessible via the 'Music' menu. Selecting it will allow you to cycle through album covers.
When you find an album cover you want, clicking the centre button brings up tracks on that album; select a track to begin playing.
A new 'Now Playing' feature displays more information like artist, track, album, rating, and track number.

Video Playback
The new 2in screen uses the same 320 x 240-pixel resolution as that of the iPod classic -- very bright and sharp.
It can also play videos and supports the same games as the classic. It provides the same 24-hours of audio playback as its predecessor, or five hours of video. It can also output video and photos to a projector via a dock connector port.
What sort of player am I buying?
The 4GB ($149) holds 1000 songs whilst the 8GB ($199) holds 2000 songs. It comes with three Games: Apple's Vortex, iQuiz, and a color Klondike solitaire game.
Pocket wise, can it fit?
The new iPod nano is a bit wider than its predecessor and it's very stylish and lightweight. It's wider at 52mm and shorter by 70mm compared to its predecessor at 40mm by 89mm, but remains 6.6mm thick.
It has a shiny chrome back instead of anodised metal all around it.

OMG!!!!!! This website helped me so much! I just got my first iPod yesterday and this helped alot.
SallyAnne, USA
You are a genius, I thought I had downloaded iTunes 7... I didn't have to reset, everything came up as was
on it when it crashed.
I cannot thank you enough for not giving up, this one had sentimental value that you cannot believe and they
do not make the black nanos anymore.
I tried everything on the internet, and you are the only one that replied and kept at it until you solved the
problem.
Thank you.
Buddy Kniffen, Midland, Texas
Wow Daniel! What a fantastic service. I really didn't expect such a prompt response, if at all. And
thanks for your advice. I certainly will be downloading from the sites you have listed. We are bathing in
summer heat here, whilst I guess you are sheltering from the approaching winter. As a student it is not
unusual to work through the night and I must say, how fantastic it is to have music all night. And such excellent
quality sound too. So thrilled to have iPod up and running!
Thanks again.
Ciao
