The i Pod Nano MP3 fifth generation is the best nano yet. It is full of features in a very small colorful package. Let’s look at it in more detail:

Design of 5G Nano

So what is different for the 5G Nano compared to the 4G Nano in its design? The blue Nano to the right is the new one and the pink one is the previous 4G model. Well, it has a slightly larger screen and a glossy, polished finish. The user interface is pretty much the same, except that you will see menus for the new items.

Features

All of the features from last year’s Nano have migrated to the fifth-generation model, including music, video, and podcast playback, as well as extras such as photos, calendar, games, alarms, stopwatch, contacts, notes, and clocks. If that weren’t enough, Apple has upped the ante with an integrated pedometer, Genius Mix support, voice recording, a built-in speaker, video camera, and an FM radio! Yes that is correct an FM radio!

The Nano’s video camera

Of all the bells and whistles Apple added to the fifth-generation iPod Nano, the video camera is the most notable. Placed on the back of the Nano in the lower right corner (or lower left, if you’re looking at the back), the small, bead-size lens brings yet another convenient and useful feature to an already impressive product. We’re not thrilled with the camera’s video quality, the location of the lens behind your hand, or the inability to take still photos, but it’s difficult to criticize when you consider the Nano’s relatively low price.
There are plenty of nice things to say about the Nano’s video camera. First, the Nano’s camera is easy to use, letting you to jump right into recording after only two clicks from the main menu. Its 640×480-pixel resolution and MP4/H.264 video recording format (bit rates range between 2,500Kbps and 2,800Kbps) works natively in iTunes and most video playback software as well as video streaming Web sites including YouTube, Flickr, and Facebook. With up to 8GB of storage, the Nano can store an impressive 16 hours of recorded video, and as far as convenience goes, you’ll have a difficult time finding a smaller, lighter video camera than the iPod Nano.

FM radio

It seems hard to believe, but the fifth-generation Nano marks the first time Apple has included a built-in FM radio on an iPod. We have no idea why it took Apple eight years to bring radio to the iPod, but to Apple’s credit, its FM radio is one of the best we’ve used on a portable device. Common radio features such as station presets, selectable world radio bands, and manual or automatic station scanning control, are all handled in Apple’s typical and intuitive style. Going beyond the competition, Apple’s FM tuner includes support for radio station RDS data (often identifying artist and song title information, along with station call letters), including the capability to tag songs for later purchase, and even lets you pause and resume radio playback. We’ve seen song tagging and RDS support before, in Microsoft’s Zune media player (looks like the Zune is actually teaching the iPod a few tricks), but the capability to pause, rewind, and resume audio playback are features that are unique to the iPod Nano. The Nano’s time-shifting capabilities come courtesy of its built-in memory cache that can hold up to 15 minutes of recorded radio temporarily until you decide to resume playback.

Voice memos

Recording voice memos is technically not a new feature for the iPod Nano, but previous generations of the Nano required an investment in compatible headsets or recording accessories to use the feature. Now that the Nano includes a built-in microphone, recordings can be made without additional accessories. However, if you’re serious about using the Nano as a voice recorder, spending a little money on a better microphone isn’t a bad idea. In our tests, we found the Nano’s microphone placement causes a considerable amount of noise caused by handling the device to be captured. If you’re careful to keep your fingers away from the internal microphone – no easy task with the mic behind the Click Wheel) – the 128Kbps AAC recordings made by the Nano get the job done and conveniently import directly into iTunes labeled with the recording’s time and date.

Video playback on the fifth-generation iPod Nano is better than ever, although holding your iPod sideways still takes some mental adjustment. The wide-screen-friendly, crisp, 204ppi display makes watching a full-length movie on your iPod Nano a legitimate (but still somewhat silly) possibility. Compared with the flat screens of the iPod Touch and iPod Classic, the fourth-generation’s rounded glass screen makes it difficult to eliminate glare, but images still look remarkably bright and clear on it. Like most portable video players, the iPod has specific file requirements for video playback, so you may have to spend some time converting video on your computer before transferring it. Fortunately, the iPod Nano’s video formats are widely known by purveyors of Internet video, which often arrives preformatted for the iPod.

The iTunes factor

If you’re considering buying an iPod for the first time, we feel it’s worthwhile to remind you that Apple’s iTunes software is a required installation for your computer. The software is free and available for both Mac OS X and Windows computers, and we encourage potential iPod owners to get familiar with the software ahead of time to ensure that it works well for you and your computer.

Worth the upgrade?

It’s hard not to be swayed by all of the Nano’s new features – especially its video camera. If you have an older iPod and you’ve been waiting for an excuse to upgrade, you can rest assured that the fifth-generation Nano is the best Nano yet.

That said, with the highly rated 8GB iPod Touch sitting pretty at just $199, you’ll need to decide whether the Nano’s slim design, FM radio, pedometer, and video camera are more meaningful to you than the touch screen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and App capabilities of the iPod Touch. From our perspective, it’s hard to go wrong either way, but the bright colors, sturdy construction, and lightweight design of the Nano make it an easy choice for children and athletic types.
