Macintosh iPod nano (6th era, late 2010) survey
Correspondingly, when perusing records, the little screen estimate implies you see just three and a half sections—track names, craftsman names, and so forth—at once, so you wind up swiping and looking over a great deal. (There's no real way to modify the text dimension to have the capacity to see more things at once.) And the little screen implies there's not a great deal of contrast between a substantial "change screens" swipe and a littler "accomplish something on this screen" swipe—amid my week with the nano, I regularly played out the wrong swipe, starting a unintended activity. Also, the new nano's little size implies that, dissimilar to on iOS gadgets, there's no physical Home catch. Rather, on the off chance that you tap-and-hold for a couple of moments on a zone of the screen without any controls, you come back to the Home screen. Be that as it may, much of the time it's simpler to simply swipe to the great circumstances as it takes to arrive.
At long last, a minor outcome of the nano's size is that since the little screen has no title bar, there's no choice for a title-bar clock. Rather, you can have another full-screen clock show up at whatever point you wake the nano, however that includes another tap—to reject the clock—before you can begin whatever activity you woke the iPod to perform. (Also, since there's no setting for modifying the period of time before the screen rests—the screen darken following 20 seconds and rests totally following 60 seconds—you wind up playing out this additional tap much of the time.)
The unavoidable issue, for me, is the reason the nano's screen must be so little. Given the presence of the iPod rearrange, there doesn't appear to have been a convincing requirement for another as little as possible make-it iPod, and a somewhat bigger outline would have took into account a bigger screen. For instance, a rectangular nano—maybe a similar width, slightly more, with a screen comparative in size to that of the 5G nano—would have been significantly more valuable, enabling you to see no less than five things on the screen at once, rather than three and a half, maybe with enough room left finished for more onscreen navigational guides. Obviously, battery life would endure a bit with a bigger touchscreen, yet the nano's battery life is sufficiently great that losing a couple of hours of playback time would be an adequate trade off for some clients.
Back for additional
Multi-Touch screen off the beaten path, it merits running down the highlights from past nano ages that are still here on the grounds that, as I'll get to in a minute, Apple has dropped a couple of striking abilities this time around.
Like its antecedent, the 6G iPod nano keeps on supporting most basic sound record groups, including podcasts and book recordings, and has a promoted battery life of up to 24 hours. (We'll catch up later with our battery-test comes about.) It likewise gives you a chance to see photographs matched up by means of iTunes and, if you have the correct link, yield those photographs to a TV—in spite of the fact that photographs adjusted to the nano are downsized extensively. You can likewise utilize the new iPod nano for information stockpiling.
There's as yet the previously mentioned FM radio with multi-area bolster, iTunes Tagging, and the ability to delay live radio utilizing a 15-minute support. New, however, is an element to naturally filter for—and rapidly get to—stations in your general vicinity. You additionally still get an implicit pedometer and inherent Nike + iPod application—however the Nike + iPod dongle is as yet required. The new nano keeps on incorporating an inherent accelerometer, in spite of the fact that this time around it's utilized just for the pedometer and the Shake To Shuffle include. (The past nano utilized the accelerometer to consequently reorient the screen when you turned the gadget.)

The nano's clock highlight still incorporates stopwatch and clock modes which, obviously, you access by swiping to one side when seeing the clock. Furthermore, gave you interface earphones an implicit receiver, you can even now record voice notices.
The new nano likewise keeps on offering openness highlights, for example, mono sound and VoiceOver—the last being the element that gives you, for instance, a chance to hear data about what's playing, and pick a playlist by tuning in to talked prompts. Be that as it may, as I'll get to in a minute, you'll have to buy new earphones to exploit all the nano's VoiceOver capacities. New to the 6G nano is an altered shading mode for "white-on-dark" visuals.
At last, in my testing the iPod nano keeps on offering great sound execution—accepting, obviously, you encourage it quality sound records. A gave audiophile may bandy with the nano's sound yield contrasted with a higher-end segment, yet most iPod nano proprietors will utilize the gadget in a hurry, and in that unique circumstance, it sounds awesome.
Long gone
In the meantime, the 6G iPod nano is missing many highlights contrasted with past models. Maybe the most-discussed oversights identify with video: The inherent camcorder that appeared with the fifth-age nano likewise bites the dust with that model, and not at all like the past three nano ages, you can never again adjust recordings to the nano and watch them on its screen or on your TV. As we noted in our gathering of iPod inquiries and answers, the new line of iPods obviously partitions Apple's convenient line into music-just and video-centered gadgets, and the 6G iPod nano is on the music side of the fence. Likewise, the new nano loses the capacity to play amusements. (In all actuality, diversions made for Click Wheel iPods essentially wouldn't take a shot at the new nano, however what's to state a touchscreen nano couldn't play new amusements?)
Yet, I'm fine with those specific changes. I know I don't represent all iPod nano proprietors, by I would say both as a client and in chatting with other iPod clients, the 5G nano's video abilities—both chronicle and viewing—went unused (or possibly underused) by numerous individuals. The screen was little to watch video, the camera's quality was unremarkable, and the general experience could be summed up as "alright when there's no other option."
Different slices that are probably not going to be met by furious swarms of clients incorporate the media-look highlight, the choice for picking book recording playback speed, and the capacity to match up contacts, date-books, and notes to the iPod.
The most huge downside contrasted with a year ago's model, at any rate in my testing, needs to do with playback control. Once you've utilized the new nano's Multi-Touch interface, it's protected to state you won't miss the Click Wheel, at any rate with regards to exploring onscreen components. Where you may miss it is when attempting to rapidly control playback. As valuable as the Multi-Touch screen can be, it's not a viable alternative for physical playback controls when, say, the iPod is in your pocket, or when you're endeavoring to skip tracks while running or driving.
This absence of physical playback controls would be less demanding to ignore if the new nano incorporated Apple's Earphones with Remote and Mic. These earbuds, which sent with the past iPod nano, incorporate an inline remote-control module that gives you a chance to modify volume, flip Play/Pause, skip or output forward or back, and get to some VoiceOver highlights. Disappointingly, the 6G nano incorporates Apple's more established, standard earbuds—the ones without the three-catch remote and receiver.
This means in the event that you need to control playback, you should haul out the nano so you can see its screen, at that point awaken the iPod, at that point explore to the proper screen. This isn't excessively of a bother in a few circumstances, however I observed it to be an issue amid dynamic utilize. (This is, obviously, amusing, considering the prevalence of the iPod nano as a "dynamic" iPod—an utilization for which it could have been considerably all the more engaging now, because of its littler size and implicit clasp.) Given the absence of physical playback catches, and the £129 or £159 sticker price of the new nano models, this exclusion appears to be particularly childish (or, contingent upon what you look like at it, similar to a prime open door for Apple to offer more Earphones with Remote and Mic.)
Dropping the earbuds with the inline remote and mic additionally confines the nano's VoiceOver highlight. While you can press-and-hold the play/stop catch on that remote to hear data about the present track or, with the assistance of the volume all over catches, pick a playlist, playing out these undertakings utilizing VoiceOver without the inline remote requires turning on the full VoiceOver interface, essentially adjusting the way you communicate with the touchscreen. What's more, getting track data or picking a playlist is a significantly more muddled assignment utilizing VoiceOver on the screen than it is utilizing an inline remote.
Fortunately Apple's inline-remote plan has now been around for a couple of years, so you have a lot of decisions for outsider earphones—with much better stable quality and an assortment of outlines—that component a perfect three-catch inline remote.
OUR VERDICT
The new iPod nano is a touch of a conundrum. From one perspective, its size and touchscreen interface are certain to create oohs and aahs, and as a rule give authentic—and generous—benefits. Then again, the new interface experiences a bit being bound to a modest screen, highlights found on past models are missing, and the absence of physical playback controls (or if nothing else Apple's inline-remote earbuds, standard on a year ago's model) implies the gadget is less usable than it could be, particularly in absolutely the situations where it ought to exceed expectations: at the exercise center and in a hurry. A somewhat bigger screen and either essential physical playback controls or Apple's remote-prepared earbuds would have made for a stellar music player, in spite of the "lost" highlights. Maybe it's smarter to think about the new iPod nano as rendition 1.0 of a totally new gadget, instead of the 6th era of a current iPod. On the off chance that you've generally needed the touchscreen interface of the iPod address a littler, sound just gadget, the new nano is a pretty goo
