New iPod nano
The new iPod nano
Another feature added is Genius Mixes. All you do is sync your iPod nano to iTunes, and Genius automatically searches your library and finds songs that sound great together to create up to 12 Genius Mixes. These mixes are like channels programmed entirely with your music. It’s a great way to rediscover songs you haven’t listened to in forever, and some you even forgot you had.
The new FM tuner lets you see the names of songs and artists, and two amazing features, Tagging and Live Pause, make listening to the radio nothing like listening to the radio. There’s always something great on the FM dial. And now the FM tuner lets you hear your favorite morning shows on your commute and discover new music while you work out. Say you need to take a quick break from listening to your favorite radio station. iPod nano also lets you pause it with a click. Another click and you’re listening to your station again. You can even rewind as far back as 15 minutes, then fast-forward to catch up to the live broadcast. You’re listening to the radio and you hear a song you like, but when you go to iTunes, you can’t remember the name or even who sings it. Enter iTunes Tagging. Now, you can use the Click Wheel on iPod nano to tag the song.
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.
New iPod touch
Apple announces the new iPod touch
Watch your movies and TV shows. Listen to your favorite tunes with room for up to 14,000 songs and up to 30 hours of audio playback time. Genius Mixes automatically searches your library and finds songs that sound great together. Voice Control allows you to tell iPod touch to play songs from a specific playlist or artist. A Wi-Fi connection and a tap on the iTunes icon are all it takes to get instant access to millions of songs and thousands of movies and TV shows.
Most of what you do online with a computer can easily be done on iPod touch. Built-in Wi-Fi means you can check your favorite blogs, write an email with a photo attached, or find out how to get to that new restaurant. When you think about it, iPod touch is a computer in your pocket. The new iPod touch is up to 50 percent faster than the previous-generation iPod touch. Typing on iPod touch is easy with its intelligent keyboard that predicts and suggests words as you type. If you’re connected to a wireless network, you can find your location and get a list of turn-by-turn directions. Social Networking is easy on Facebook or Twitter because they are just a tap away.
Games for iPod touch are made to take advantage of its built-in technologies such as the accelerometer, Multi-Touch, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. The result is truly immersive gameplay – whether you’re playing alone or with others in multiplayer mode. The new iPod touch features improved performance so games launch faster, and you experience richer, more lifelike textures and detail.
A new feature of iPod touch makes finding cool new apps even easier. Genius for apps works just like Genius for your music. Tap the Genius icon and get recommendations for apps that you might like based on those you already downloaded.
Multiply the fun by playing with your friends over Wi-Fi – whether they’re two cubicles or two continents away. The beauty of the accelerometer comes into play when you’re in racing games and your entire iPod becomes the steering wheel. What also sets iPod touch apart from traditional handheld gaming devices is its Multi-Touch interface. It means you’re not just playing a game, you’re interacting with the game.
