Product DescriptioniPod nano now has a built-in video camera that lets you spontaneously shoot video wherever you are. And that's just the beginning. It has a dramatic, polished anodized aluminum finish and a larger screen. The new Genius Mixes feature acts as your personal DJ, automatically searching your iTunes library, then making mixes you'll love. Take iPod nano anywhere and the new Pedometer counts your steps. Also making its debut: a built-in FM radio with two amazing features--iTunes Tagging and Live Pause. So the world's most popular music player now has more to play with.How it Works You'll notice how smoothly and easily VoiceOver works. A lot of thought went into creating an iPod nano that not only talks, but says the right things. It all begins with iTunes and its seamless integration with iPod nano. First, iTunes reads your song information, then uses the VoiceOver Kit to generate the announcements for the songs, artists, and playlists. Just sync your iPod nano to your computer and it really speaks to you. It Speaks Multiple Languages Your music library has songs from all over the world--a love song from France, a bolero from Spain, a pop tune from Japan. Luckily, VoiceOver speaks fluent song. iTunes selects the language and best voice for your song titles and artist names. It looks at song data, like the title, artist, and album information, then applies intelligent algorithms to choose the right language. For example, iTunes recognizes the song "Ya Viene el Sol" by Ozomatli as a Spanish song, so your iPod nano will automatically speak that song title and artist in Spanish. If you prefer to hear that information spoken in another language, you can change the designated VoiceOver language for that song in iTunes. Hit the Ground Running--Or Walking With the Nike + iPod Sport Kit (sold separately) and a built-in pedometer to help keep you motivated and track your fitness progress, iPod nano makes working out less routine. Step it up with the New Pedometer You take your iPod nano with you everywhere. Why not use it to stay fit? iPod nano now doubles as a Pedometer. It uses the built-in accelerometer to keep track of your steps and help you meet your fitness goals. You can create a daily step goal or set it to Always On so it counts all the steps you take, all the time. Which makes iPod nano the ideal exercise partner. Rock and Run Your shoes and your iPod nano team up to maximize your run. See the minutes tick by. Watch the miles unfold. Hear real-time voice feedback. All to your favorite music, including your chosen Power Song--that one song that always gets you through the home stretch. Rock the Gym Take Nike + iPod to the gym and minute by minute, mile by mile, you're motivated by more than music. Connect your iPod nano to a Nike + iPod compatible cardio machine. Record your pace, time, and distance as you work out. With iPod nano, every trip to the gym becomes a new challenge. Sync When you're finished, connect your iPod nano to your Mac or PC. iTunes automatically sends your workout data to nikeplus.com. Every workout and every run is there, ready for you to review. Get pumped for your next run with recommended challenges, custom training programs, and maps of new routes to try. Or share motivation with runners across the world. Note to Self: Voice Memos Are Here The built-in mic lets you capture a thought, a reminder, a class lecture, or any audio recording you want with Voice Memos. iTunes: Your Greatest Hits It's even easier to organize, browse, grow, and share your digital music and video collection with the new iTunes.

Customer ReviewsCustomer Reviews "Ipod Nano 8 gb" 2009-11-02 By L. Squires (puyallup, WA USA) Very nice ipod - All I was looking for and more. The video feature is a bit shaky with not that great of optics - much rather have a decent camera (picture) function, but overall I'm very pleased. "Love it!" 2009-11-02 By Joann Vondracek (Westminster, CO United States) For years I used other MP3 players because I listened to audiobooks from the library and their software was not compatible with Ipod's. Now that the software was upgraded, I bought an Ipod and love it. It is much smaller, easy to use and I appreciate the FM radio as well. "I'm sick of Apple churning out toys, something a little more serious please" 2009-11-02 By Theophilus (Ohio, U.S.) It seems every year Apple turns out a new toy in the form of a Nano. They are all virtually identical, with incremental improvements and additions which at first glance, appeal to new users. I have bought every generation of Nano since it first came out several years ago. But this toy is NOT worth $140-$150. It is a good MP3 player, which it is, but does not deserve serious consideration in the camcorder arena. There are no video editing capabilities, and the music capabilities are the same as they always have been.
I wont even begin to consider throwing away my current digital camera, which takes stills. That's yet another thing this Nano should be able to do but doesnt. When will Apple TRULY give you your money's worth with a mind-blowing device that will completely satisfy your music/video/photography needs? Next year I suppose. "CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT NEW 5 GEN IPOD NANO" 2009-11-02 By penpoised (Sugar Land, TX) 5th generation ipod nano! I have never had an ipod of my own before. Since I have used my daughter's ipod many times, I am familiar with how the ipod works. ITunes is such a convenient way to organize my music that I decided that I wanted an ipod of my own. I really enjoyed choosing which model of ipod I would buy. The new 5th generation ipod nano was just coming on the market, and I kew it was the one I wanted. The variety of colors were a bonus. (I chose the blue.) The extra features (FM radio, video camera and pedometer) are useful and fully functional. I haven't tried the digital recording feature yet. The only thing I don't like about it is the touch wheel controls. I am starting to get a feel for it, but the sensitivity is hard to judge. Apple hasn't improved that part of the ipod. It is basically the same control as in the ipod I bought for my daughter five or six years ago. Even with the touchy controls, I am still completely satisfied with my new 5th generation ipod. Right now I have about 600 songs downloaded on it. "Bravo, Apple... Bravo." 2009-11-02 By C. Perry (USA) The 5th generation Ipod Nano is definitely worth the upgrade. I bought it mainly for the new video camera feature, but am have found myself actually using nearly every other feature almost daily. I keep it with me at all times, more than my cell phone. Here's my review of the features:
Video camera - The video quality is absolutely fantastic relative to the size and "add-on" nature of the camera. The image is better than my Kodak Zi6 when set on VGA. I do wish it had a 16x9 widescreen aspect ration, but I can live without that. Even the low light quality is good.
Microphone - The mic picks up sound better than every other pocket camcorder I've ever used. You can get clear audio at reasonable distances.
FM radio - The radio works pretty well, although I wish the antenna wasn't in the headphones. While the radio is nice to have, I really don't use it much.
Video playback - The new, larger screen is actually OK for watching downloaded or ripped content.
All in all, this is a terrific device with a LOT of functionality.
