Full FeedApple updates iPod nano, now with a video camera
We all kind of saw it coming, and now Apple has made it a reality; the iPod nano now sports a video camera. That’s not all, though; there’s now also a speaker and microphone, along with a built-in pedometer and refreshed vibrant gloss colors.
Apple apparently wanted in on the portable video camera market, alongside the FlipMino’s camera. For this reason, the iPod nano has gained it’s own video camera, in the same place that rumors suggested some time ago.
Along with the camera, the screen has been increased in size to 2.2-inch to make your home movies and photographs look just that little bit better. If video and photography isn’t your thing, you’ll be pleased to hear of the new microphone included in the nano. It uses an application similar to that found on the iPod touch and the iPhone. It’s great for taking audible notes, recording classes and lectures, and just generally recording random sounds. You’d be surprised at the fun you can have with a microphone.
For the sport-enthusiasts out there, there’s now a built-in pedometer that syncs back to Nike+ to record your data. And if there’s nothing that suits your mood in your iPod playlists, you’ll now have the option to listen to your preferred radio stations on the move via the FM radio.
The feature that was released as part of the iPod shuffle has also seen its way into the iPod nano. That’s right, you can now hear which song you’re listening to with the VoiceOver feature. Still, the voice itself is fairly annoying, so you might still wish to just check the screen.
Apple has also decided to go all out with colors, offering the iPod nano in a polished anodized aluminum in nine vibrant colors. Judging from the photographs, it looks great, so using it on a daily basis will surely be a pleasure.
There are two models available from today: an 8GB version for $149 and a 16GB model for $179.

As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.
I am impressed by the sleek design and the variety of colors. Apple is growing more by the launch of new iPhones, ipods, etc. There is a camera installed at the back but the picture quality is not very satisfying. FM Radio feature is also not great. Now lets come to the main highlights, the excellent mp3 player. The sound quality is awesome. People will surely enjoy music and go crazy.

But I totally agreed that the result of camera is not so much outstanding as Apple has in iPhones. But the main role of iPod is just to play mp3 songs and we have magnifying quality in iPod. Having camera in iPod Nano or other ipod nano accessories is just apart. I am happy that Apple doesn’t show down the sound quality.
