Apple iPod Nano 5G
Apple last month launched a mountain upgrades for its popular iPods, so the music and video spelertjes again with fresh courage to meet the holiday season to see. The new Nano is definitely the most impressive of the bunch.
With the new iPod Nano, this variant of the fifth generation already ended. And what is still a lot better. Apple’s second smallest spelertje music retains the same format as its predecessors and for the storage and playback will change little: the musical quality remains the same and also the storage capacity – 8 or 16GB – nothing has changed. But almost all other fronts, Apple iPod Nano with a big jump forward.
56 additional pixels
If you’re used fourth-generation Nano, jumping external adjustments directly in the eye. Thus, the aluminum case even brighter than what his predecessors. Also the screen is slightly expanded it from 2 inches to 2.2 inches increases. On paper this seems negligible, but when used like this shows what nicer to work: the extra 56 pixels in height, the menu navigation Slightly better.
The screen magnification is at the expense of the click wheel. Apple’s characteristic knob is slightly smaller than in previous Nano’s, possibly to steal something away from the ease of operation. Itself, however we had no problems with it. However, we find the screen – even with his extra pixels – a little too small for long movies to watch.
Video camera
The biggest cosmetic change can be found on the back of the audio spelertje. There is suddenly a camera eye to be found. These welcome appearance has to do with the biggest addition to the new Nano, the video function.
Apple has to somehow succeeded in its Alpine mini spelertje to provide a video camera. The device can capture movies at a resolution of 640 by 480 pixels. That is far from HD resolution, but for simple Youtube movies is perfect. It just declares war on Apple’s standard-definition mini-cameras and the Flip and Vado.
Memo
Not that these specialized devices Nano late bite the dust. Therefore, the performance in low light is not good enough. But if you simply want to shoot YouTube videos with room light, then the Nano is hardly inferior to his video competitors. Let’s put it this way: you get the new Nano in the house, there is little reason to even Vado a Flip on the head or tapping.
You can also press the button while filming in the middle of the click wheel button, to apply different effects. This works fine and gives you the necessary options for your creativity free rein. The recorded sound is perfectly fine. Speech is well absorbed, even at a modest distance. You should not stand in the wind, which can distort the image somewhat with his noise. The microphone also has another function. Nano so you can now use voice recorder. This also works fine.
Built-in speaker
Overall, the new camera a surprisingly good and useful addition. It is a pity that you do not have pictures with audio. And you want to edit movies on Youtube and sites, you will first need to sync the Nano with your computer. Directly on the media spelertje editing your movies is not so. It is also unfortunate that the camera eye is placed under the back. This will take you quickly because your finger on the lens. You need the iPod Nano while filming a rather unnatural way to hold and that is really getting used to.
Because you usually want fresh videos showing with your friends, it is so handy that Apple also has a new speaker built into the Nano. Your ear is not exactly pass as hygienic. This speaker does its job quite nicely, although you should not have too much noise. Even if he is serious muziekbox not appropriate: this is the “speaker” that the slim Nano offers are far to small.
FM radio pedometer
Another novelty is the built-in pedometer. Apple has several iPods already equipped with a so-called Nike + feature. This enables athletes to track how many steps it up while jogging, so the calories burned mapping. The pedometer in the Nano is not exactly get off on. But if you want an idea of how many steps you’ve actually put in sports, it works nice. As a bonus you also get an instant estimate to see how many calories you’ve burned on the road.
Measurements as long as you do not literally, is a pedometer is a fun gift. But the new FM radio feature is a real asset. All you can say that this addition is a little late: just about every MP3 player has a radio on board, only Apple is not wanted. Until now, because the new Nano has an excellent FM receiver received.
Live Pause
This function uses radio headphones as an antenna – and you do not necessarily Apple’s included earphones for use. The signal is good, and there’s even support for RDS information. So you can see which station you listen and what’s playing. Track titles are stored, so you instantly find them later (and buy) the iTunes Store.
Apple has clearly thought about the radio feature. One can also see the handy Pause Live option. Lets you radio ‘pause’. The show will be included in the flash memory of your Nano, so you can continue listening later.
Apple has delivered an impressive job with the new Nano. Although the media has grown an inch spelertje, the manufacturer has a mountain to cram more features into this. Especially the video is impressive, but also FM radio and voice recorder are worth. The strange placement of the camera eye to get used to, and you do not expect HD quality. But frankly we have never seen so much functionality into such a small and affordable media device view. It is not exactly a must to upgrade from your Nano 4G. But are you looking for a compact MP3 player with screen, where you no longer need to look at movies? Then the new Nano is the most complete selection.
