New Apple Ipod Nano released and Itunes 8

Not that I care much about the release of iTunes 8 but I have been an ipod user for some years now and I cannot complain about the product. Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple at his press conference in San Francisco, California unveiled the new Nano along with a revised (slimmer) version of the iTouch. Expectedly, both devices were sporting itunes 8 which featuring "Genius" - the program's HDTV capability. Thats right you read correctly, do not adjust the color of your pc/laptop. iTunes 8 sports Genius, software which not only has HDTV capability but also gives users a suggested list of songs to select from based on their usage and other users who listen to music from similar genres. But like I said, I'm not a big iTunes fan.

The new iPod nano

The iPod nano is thinner with a larger screen. It also has a screen orientation device (similar to the iPhone) which allows users to watch videos on a friendlier resolution. The nano also boasts a "shake to shuffle" feature which allows users to shake their nano and thus engaging a new song. In other words, shake the nano to skip to a next song! But wait, there's more! The nano is made of aluminum and covered in curved glass adding to the finese and sleekness of the iPod making it the thinnest iPod ever released according to Steve Jobs. The the new nano will cost you $149.99 (now available) for the 8g and $199.99 for the 16g (released next week.) and is availble in a wide array of colors.

*Oh yeah, I almost forgot! The new nano has voice recording capabilities. How cool is that!!?!?!?
