Ipod Nano 5th Generation
whenevery we talk about music player the first thing that comes to our mind is the iPod
. These sweet little devices does everything so well. Do you remember nano was launched in two colors - just black and white, and has two models 2GB (500 songs) 4GB (1000 songs) A lot has changes now. The fifth generation iPod nano's have got a glossy case, a bigger screen, an integrated camera with special effects, a microphone, FM Radio with iTunes tagging, live pause, Nike+iPod support and speakers.
It is not just black and white either, its available in 9 colors - silver, black, purple, light blue, dark green, gold, orange, Product Red and Pink. Product Red is only available on the apple online store and apple retail stores as well as gold.
Some of the cool new features are -
Video camera - This really has to be the coolert feature. It's just not music anymore. I can record the videos in portrait or landscape which I can email or share with friends on Facebook. The built-in mic also does a good job. Most of the videos I recorded have very good audio quality except for a few videos taken in noisy environment. The videos are crisp and clear but I've got to hold it steady to get good results otherwise the videos give me headache.
Special effects are simply great - Takeing a video is ok but I like to give it some really cool effects so that I can impress my friends.
The special effects are -
1. Thermal - Cool colors according to heat levels, I don't know how it's doing this stuff cause it's rendering is pretty accurate.
2. Double view, could be confusing but if you take the video with some pre-planning the result could be really good. I like this effect very much.
3. X-Ray - Yes! X-Ray. It is very much like the negative effect that most of the cameras have. Results are scary. :)
4. Motion Blur - This is another cool effect. It blurs when you are moveing etc. The effect is very good. I use it a lot.
5. Sepia - A bit discolored, yellowish hue. An oldtimes or flashback effect.
6. Cyborg - I now have terminator vision. This effect turns everything red.
These effects are very helpful if you make a short movie or videos or are trying to give friends a good laugh.
These videos sync effortlessly when you connect the nano to a PC or Mac. And don't forget to upload it on YouTube and share you funny moments with the world.
Genius - This is a very good and useful feature. It is essentially a playlist maker. It makes a playlist according to the song you choose. I absolutely have making playlist, cause I like all the songs and end up adding everything to the playlist. This is a really time saving feature. Another feature I love is genius mixer. It makes 12 customised playlists for me when I sync my nano to iTunes. One thing really cool about this feature is - I have 1000s of songs in my nano and I don't listen to all of them everyday, so there are some songs which I've not listened to in ages. This feature helps me in rediscovering those songs. I had forgotten how good they were.
I'm feeling sleepy, so I'll put on some soothing music. Rest of the features in the next post.....
