Music. Feel the beat.
Your greatest hits. And taps. And swipes.
The best things in life have a soundtrack, and that's where iPod nano shines. The Multi-Touch display lets you experience your music in a new way. Tap to play anything you want to hear. Swipe the Home screen to browse your music by songs, albums, artists, playlists, genres, or composers. You can even rearrange the icons on your Home screen so your music is organized just how you like.
Clip on some tunes.
With the new built-in clip, you can walk, run, ride, or dance with your favorite songs on your sleeve (or pocket, jacket, or bag). The album art of the song you're listening to fits perfectly on the display.
Play all day. And all night.
The built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery gives you up to 24 hours of nonstop music. So when you clip on an 8GB or 16GB iPod nano, you'll have plenty of tunes to make it through your commute, your workout, and beyond.
Shake it up.
Now for something completely random. Give iPod nano a shake and it shuffles to a different song in your music library. Shake to Shuffle is perfect for when you're not in any particular music mood. You never know what you're going to hear, and you'll always be pleasantly surprised.
Genius. The music mixmaster.

Your own personal DJ.
Say you're listening to a song you love and you want to stay in the groove. Just tap Genius. It finds other songs on your iPod nano that go great together and makes a Genius playlist for you. For more song combinations you wouldn't have thought of yourself, create Genius Mixes in iTunes and sync the ones you like to your iPod nano. Then tap the Genius Mixes icon and rediscover songs you haven't heard in a while--or find music you forgot you even had.
FM radio. Touch that dial.
Radio nano.
Ride the airwaves on iPod nano. The FM tuner shows the artist, song, or program you're listening to. Just tap to see the radio controls, flick the radio dial to change stations, and tap to set your favorites.
Live Pause.
If you need to take a break from listening, don't miss a minute of radio time with Live Pause. Tap to pause a song or show, then tap again to continue where you left off. You can rewind as far back as 15 minutes or fast-forward to catch up to the live broadcast.
Fitness. Meet your new personal trainer.
Clip and go. And go. And go.
The new iPod nano design actually helps keep you fit. It's portable and wearable, which makes it runnable, walkable, and workout-able. Clip it on and control your music with just a tap or swipe of a finger, so you can stay focused without fumbling around. For your run, walk, or trip to the gym, a little iPod nano goes a long way.
Stay fit with every step.
iPod nano doubles as a pedometer, which makes it the ideal exercise partner. It keeps track of your steps and helps you meet your fitness goals. Just clip it on and walk on. You can create a daily step goal and check your progress when you upload all your data to the Nike+ website.
Rock your workout.
With the Nike + iPod Sport Kit (sold separately), iPod nano keeps you motivated from warm-up to cooldown on your run or in the gym. Lace up a pair of Nike+ running shoes and clip on your iPod nano. You'll watch the miles unfold and hear real-time voice feedback along with your favorite songs. In the gym, connect iPod nano to a Nike + iPod compatible cardio machine. It records your pace, time, and distance as you work out and rock out.
iTunes. For your iPod-playing pleasure.
Everything you need to be entertained.
iTunes is the best way to fill your iPod nano with the latest music, podcasts, audiobooks, and more. It's also the best way to browse and organize the ever-expanding digital media collection on your Mac or PC.

Want some help finding new music? The Genius sidebar recommends new music based on the songs you already love. When you find something that sparks your interest, listen to the free 30-second preview. Click once to buy the song and it starts downloading instantly. It's the fastest, easiest way to build a digital music collection for your iPod nano.
Accessibility
Built-in accessibility.
iPod nano comes with accessibility features that help people with disabilities enjoy music, audiobooks, and more.
VoiceOver
iPod nano features VoiceOver, the world's first gesture-based screen reader. Touch the screen to hear a description of the item under your finger, then double-tap, drag, or flick to control iPod nano. Use the optional Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic to control your music without looking at the screen. VoiceOver tells you the name of the song or artist--and it speaks 29 languages.
White on Black
If you prefer higher contrast, iPod nano lets you change the display to white on black. Use the White on Black feature in any application, as well as on the Home screen.
Mono Audio
If your hearing is limited in one ear, turn on Mono Audio to route audio into both earbuds so you can hear both channels in either ear.

LOOK! Up in the SKY! It’s a BIRD! It’s a PLANE! No, it’s… SUPER SHUFFLE!, September 8, 2010

This review is from: Apple iPod nano 8 GB Graphite (6th Generation) NEWEST MODEL (Electronics)
But it’s not a Nano. Once you get that, the rest is easy. It’s also a bit of a mixed bag. A lot of ppl are confused about the radical re-invention of the Nano, not realizing that the Nano is, essentially, dead. The Nano’s mission was to be a reasonably compact iPod that still did some higher-end stuff such as video and picture-taking- a nice portable ‘media’ player. No more. The new Nano, aka Super Shuffle, is focused on a different task entirely, and much the same one as the regular Shuffle… the gym. To that end, Apple radically reduced the size and gave it an integrated clip a la the regular Shuffle. It is now ‘wearable’, and is basically the Shuffle with a screen that some have wanted for a long time. The downside is that others did love the ‘true’ Nano, and now they can’t have one, unless they go running for the old 5th gen models before they’re sold out. So the Super Shuffle will be disliked by some no matter what, as it ‘killed’ the player they loved. =[ Others will say the Super Shuffle is inadequate even for the gym. “I don’t want to look at a screen to switch songs or change the volume. Lame!”, they’ll say. To be fair though, you don’t ALWAYS have to look at the screen, because - The Super Shuffle has physical volume buttons. They’re small, but still easy to use. No physical ‘Next Song’ button, though. - It has the ‘Shake To Shuffle’ feature… literally shake it to shuffle to another song. But STS, as implemented, is inconvenient to use- see notes @end of review. - It supports VoiceOver. But, to use *all* VO features requires the Apple Earphones With Remote & Mic, which are NOT included (Apple either wants another $30, or they still haven’t solved the sweat/moisture issues those ‘phones had in the past). So that said, the 6G Nano will work adequately as a ‘gym’ Shuffle with a screen- though it could be LOTS more convenient still. A ‘Next Song’ button next time, Apple? Features-wise, it does photo-viewing (but not taking), audiobooks, podcasts (minus any video), voice memos (w/the optional ‘phones w/Remote & Mic), is a pedometer, and does FM radio besides. And radio stations do sound surprisingly clear in any decent reception area. Even low-power college stations usually come in well- a definite plus, as they often have more innovative music programming than commercial FM. The Nano also retains the 30-pin dock connector, so you have access to the universe of iPod accessories (for a few examples, check out ‘iPod Nano 6G Docking Options’ on YouTube). This is all well and good. So MY BEEF with it isn’t that it ‘killed’ the Nano (enough unhappy ppl = they’ll make another ‘true Nano’ in the future), but rather the level of ‘milking it’ Apple’s gone with here. Specifically, while I own and (almost) like it, the Super Shuffle just isn’t worth an additional $100-130 MORE than a regular Shuffle. They do much the same thing, after all- the additional features are pretty minor in nature (for example, ever try to get consistent FM reception inside a large concrete building, aka your typical gym? Best be near a window.) Sure, you do get the touchscreen, which is sharp/clear, fun to use, and eerily resistant to smudges & fingerprints (nice). But said touchscreen is also *really* small (going bigger would’ve sacrificed ‘wearability’) and sucks WAY too much battery juice (see notes @end of review). And yes, you do get 6GB more storage than the Shuffle (though that cost Apple about $10 to put in there). But a ‘gym’ Shuffle doesn’t really have to hold 2,000 songs (4,000 if you opt for the 16GB), nor does the tiny screen lend itself well to navving through all that. The capacity and price points are really Nano legacies, but as we all know, this ain’t a Nano. All in all, the advantages don’t add up to the price charged, in terms of value provided to most users. You can buy THREE regular Shuffles for the same money. Apple likely should’ve offered a 4GB model for $99 to $129… hitting that price point next time would be a good goal, as that’s about what a ‘Super Shuffle’ is really worth. And including the Headphones w/Remote & Mic (as they did with the previous gen Shuffle), or better yet, putting a physical ‘Next Song’ button right on the player, would be a BIG winning move that would make the Super Shuffle much easier/better to use at the gym… its intended mission. Here’s hoping we see that, *and* a new ‘true’ Nano once the 7th gen rolls around. Sure, a Shuffle with a screen is *cool*- just not cool enough to justify shelling out $150-180. As I discovered. I really want to dig ya, Super Shuffle, but the price and lack of convenient song-switching at the gym are your Kryptonite. = Additionally, the battery life is VERY ‘touchy’ (see below) and pretty disappointing,…

Nano is part of Apple’s new plan …, September 9, 2010
By Bob Penn –
This review is from: Apple iPod nano 8 GB Graphite (6th Generation) NEWEST MODEL (Electronics)
With the announcement of the new Apple TV, and now the release of the drastically revised iPod Nano, it would appear that Apple is in the process of re-evaluating its product line and re-tooling the entries to match what it perceives to be the needs of the consumer. With the Apple TV, they have correctly, I believe, simplified the complexity of the original offering, removed any notion of storage, which tended to confuse the average user, and prepared it for an app driven iOS future. They claimed these changes resulted from a close look at the usage of the current Apple TV, and that they made the changes they felt were needed to more closely match what was desired. The Nano, I believe, follows the same path. I have an iPhone and and the new Nano. I also have the previous generation Nano. I tend to agree with Apple: I never the older Nano once to watch a video. I never used the contacts, the calendar, nor did I play a game on the Nano. I bought it for jogging, I only used it for jogging. All those things removed from the new Nano I currently do on my iPhone. These removed features were worthless to me and will not be missed. But the Nano did do exactly what I wanted it to do: become smaller, and be easier to use. Though I am getting used to a virtual pause button vs. a physical button on the older model, I find the new Nano to sound a little better and is less intrusive during running. Apple has apparently moved away from the “same feature set, different design” view and has moved to “what’s best for the intended useage?” model. They now have a mature line of music players, each with a clear and intended purpose. The Classic is for those who wish to carry their entire music collection with them. The Touch is the top of the line universal player and application machine. Not intended for exercise, but rather for those who don’t have an iPhone but want its best features. The iPhone, a Touch with a phone built in. Same positioning as the Touch, but replaces your phone if you are in the market for a phone. The Shuffle: the low cost entry point into the Apple ecosystem. Probably the only way Apple could offer any product under $100. With its small storage, and lack of screen, it appears to be essentially a gateway device for some to enter the Apple world. And finally the Nano. Not the universal player anymore. Not the smaller iPod Classic, like its predecessors were. The Nano seems to be targeted to the highly mobile exercise crowd. The Nano is really only good for playing music, which, along with the Shuffle, make it the only “pure” iPod left. If you want a music player, and you want more than 2GB or storage, but you don’t need apps or video or games because all you want to do is listen to music, than the Nano seems ideal. It fails when we try to make it something is clearly not intended to be. And for those who grieve at the loss of the features, I am sure Apple’s answer is that “you really want a Touch.” They’re right, too. The days of the Nano needing to be a stripped down Touch or Classic vanished the day the Touch was released. So, though not perfect, I think the design and intended use of the Nano fits in nicely into the Apple music player offerings.
