As we all know, that special time of year is right around the corner, and If your are looking to buy an I-pod for yourself, or a friend read on about the new i-pod nano (the one with a video cam)
-disclaimer- this review of the i-pod nano 5-th gen if property of Skwerl, and i-pod is a registered tm of apple. Dont dissagree with the facts, ive got this i-pod myself, and I checked, enjoy
The i-pod nano 5th gen comes in many dif colors to fit any music fan. the finish is glossy, and comes with that “new i-pod smell” but it shows finger prints easily, and if you drop it on asfault it will take some finish of, SO DONT DROP IT! or buy a case (15 dollar case, or buy another 150-170 dollar i-pod, your call)
The nano is very sleek at .4 in thick, but it looks a bit taller due to the smaller click-wheel and GIGANTIC screen. It is, however, an optical illusion. its almost the EXACT same hight as 2nd 3rd and 4th gen nanos. the smaller click wheel is only an inconvinience when your playing an INSANE lv of vortex, but you get used to is, and the GIGANTIC TFT screen is epic for you hi-res viewing pleasure. Personaly, i think this screen would make the think worth it by itself, BUT THERES MORE!
The vidio camera cant take still pics (like that maters when you can take a 1 sec vid and look at the thumbnail) but the quality is good, and you-tube worthy. It shoots at 30 fames per sec (better than the first i-phone with video, and the max frame rate modern warfare reflexes runs at) which means AMAZINGLY smooth shots. but the image quality is still just above ok (but i bought mine for renting movies off i-tunes, and music XD)
The radio uses you head phones as an external antena, which means you have an aprox 3.5 foot long antena that you allways have with your i-pod, which is epic. you can get ok quality in some rural areas, good reception in most cities, and other places with lots of people, and in a few places EXELENT reception!!! over all a great i-pod!
