Last week Apple foretell an update to the iPod line -including the unexampled iPod nano . Aside from getting a Crayola metal facelift that is strikingly similar to the miniskirt , the new nano has a screen that is 40 % bright and a shelling that will last all day ( literally ) . But it ’s a in force thing Apple keep working on their iPods , because the non - video nano has some tough competition from the Creative Zen V Plus and the Sandisk Sansa e200 serial . And , of row , the darling 1st gen nano . Wow , he ’s looking mad – considerably be careful with that pliant casing ! Hit the jump for our Frankenreview , clipped together from CNet , PCWorld , PC Magazine , and Ars .
Frankenreviewer say :
“ Some user — like me — actually favour the glazed plastic looking at of the old iPod nano to the anodized aluminum of the Modern one . ”
– Look , if Apple says it ’s newer , that means it ’s good . See :
“ The 2 G Nano is not only less scraping - prone than its predecessor , but also more long-lived in cosmopolitan … the thing even went through the washer and lived to differentiate the taradiddle ! ”
“ The 2 G nano … silver screen died on the first drop … the 1 constant of gravitation nano take aim six drops from considerably higher heights before the screen gave out … ”
– Does n’t anyone actually take heed to their mp3 players any longer ?
“ As far as healthy character is worry , we could n’t find a difference between the old Nano and the 2G. ”
“ television playback is conspicuously absentminded , as many Nano competition have it ( the Creative Zen V Plus , iRiver Clix , and SanDisk Sansa e200 series , to name a few … ) ”
“ … other premium flash player such as the popular SanDisk Sansa e200 serial publication still have the iPod trumped on features . ”
“ But then , the Sansa e200 does n’t do gapless , sustain lossless compression , or support Audible audiobooks . ”
“ … includes a new search feature get at via a Search command at the bottom of the Music screen . ”
“ Search is saucy than it seem . For example , enter DC and ACDC will look in the list . ”
– But what about Journey ? ?
“ I looked at the new model ’s projection screen next to my old 4 GB nano , and it does indeed look importantly brighter . ”
“ We ’re proud of to notice that Apple had a thrust at the original Nano ’s rather paltry 12 - hour battery life-time , double up that rating to a respectable 24 hours . ”
“ I find 26 60 minutes 10 proceedings . ”
– Much well .
