Apple’s 4G iPod Nano: eminently touchable It may not have been ‘broke’, but by Apple’s own admission the last version of the Nano ‘“ the third-gen model ‘fat’ model - wasn’t as successful as its predecessors. We’re rather fond of the squat little Nano, but you can’t argue with the sales figures, so this new 4G model is a return to the stick-like design of previous models. The design is sleekly impressive.
Looked at from above, the iPod nano is an extremely thin oval, measuring just 6.2mm at the thickest point. It weighs a mere 36.8g - that’s less than a tenth of a tin of beans - so it’s certainly easy to hold in the palm of your hand or to carry around in your pocket.
The look of the unit is further enhanced by the shiny aluminium casing and the eye-catching colours that Apple is offering for this model, which range from a relatively restrained silver or dark grey to quite lurid shades of orange, red, pink and purple. There’s a total of nine colours to choose from, and each colour is available in two sizes: 8GB for ВЈ109 (ВЈ13.63 per Gigabyte) and 16GB for ВЈ149 (ВЈ9.31 per Gigabyte), doubling the capacity of the 3G models.
Battery life is about 24 hours when playing music and four hours for video, Apple claims.
