Laptops Thinks
A small, nifty, light and reasonably priced iPod Nano and is a great addition to the Apple range. Another benefit is with the release of the new iPod Nano older generations will drop in price and even though they won’t feature the latest technology they will certainly be as good.

Pros
A battery life of almost 24hours the integration of FM Radio as well as new multi-touch technology and a 1.5inch display screen this is truly the best iPod Nano so far. Furthermore, with the extra clip it has an iPod Shuffle like feel.
Cons
It is extremely easy to lose and due to its weight and size it is difficult to realise exactly where you’ve left it
The first impressions of the new iPod Nano is its sheer size and weight. It’s now 46% smaller and 42% lighter than its previous version. It looks more like an iPod Shuffle if it wasn’t for the new 1.5inch colour display with the latest in multi-touch technology.
Apple 6th Generation iPod Nano
As always the entire range is available in an array of colours. However, as a result of being shrunk to a truly nano size it loses its capability to record video and playback video in what use to be barely acceptable. However, the new Multi-Touch technology gives you the same technology, obviously stripped down to size, that makes the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch so much fun to play with.
A Beautiful Rainbow
However, with the inclusion of a clip on the back of the iPod Nano it takes away the unique ability of the iPod Shuffle but does give the Nano an extra selling feature. However, as with all iPods it still features the built-in 30-pin connector allowing you to plug your iPod Nano into a number of accessories, speakers and chargers. The new Nano features multi-touch technology, swiping left or right allows you to see your additional icons and to turn home you can simply press and hold anywhere on the screen. However, with the removal of a clickable button the ability to skip a track without looking or taking your iPod out of your pocket or bag.
Great New Features
Another great and built in feature is the FM Radio with the ability for LivePause which can be seen by a simple left swipe and saved as a favourite by a quick tap of the star in the bottom left hand corner. The 6th Generation iPod Nano features some great features is incredibly small and light and is a perfect companion to store and play your music collection wherever you go.
A new and much improved 6th generation iPod Nano with an entirely new design, feel and layout, incorporating the latest technologies from Apple in a small nifty iPod.
