If you are in the market for a versatile portable music player, you won’t go wrong with this one. Overall, the 7th generation nano has some nice upgrades and features.
You will be asked if you want to download the information when you sync your nano. The Nike+ app also allows you to download the latest information from your nano to your Nike+ webpage. The resolution is nice for a small screen, and in a pinch, it is usable.įor you Nike+ fans, you can still use the Nike+ iPod Sensor without the need for the plug-in receiver. As for the video playback feature, I tried it out and found it is nice to have, but with such a small screen size, I would not utilize this feature much. With so many Bluetooth-compatible devices being made (headphones, speakers and even cars), you now have many more options and versatility for your music playback.

The Bluetooth integration, for me, is the most exciting aspect of the new 7th generation nano. While the operating systems for the 6th and 7th generation nanos are the same, the 7th did pick up Bluetooth and the ability to play videos.

The pre-loaded software on the 7th generation nano includes Radio, Clock, Fitness, Music, Videos, Photos and Podcast. Although they are still not the most comfortable headphones I have used, they are great to throw in a bag for backup purposes. The newly designed EarPods seem to fit a lot better and are designed to fit a wider range of ear sizes. In my case, they started to hurt my ears after about 10 minutes of use. The original earphones for the first through 6th generations were simple in design and did not fit a large number of users comfortably. One of the nice surprises with the new nano is the included Apple EarPods. Older 30-pin cables and accessories cannot be used with the new nano without the use of an adapter. The clip is one of the features I like on the 6th gen nano, and the clip, believe it or not, is a big selling point for me.Īnother change that might not be evident to a new iPod device user is the new Lightning connector and the Lightning-to-USB charging/syncing cable. Looking at the back of both nanos, you will also see that the new nano does not have a built-in clip like the older 6th generation does. The slate nano is the one I decided to purchase. The only color I do like is the slate color nano that is dark gray/slate on the back and black on the front. That being said, I don’t think that would stop anyone from buying one, not even me. I imagine that the nano and the new iPod touch are being marketed more to a kid/teen crowd. In my opinion, it makes the new nano look feminine at best, and childish at worst. While I like the color choices for the back of the nano, the white front does turns me off.
Although this is a personal issue, I have seen it mirrored by many reviewers I don’t like the color design. You will also receive the obligatory user guides, safety manuals, and one of my favorite items, the Apple stickers.īefore I go any further, let me bring up my biggest complaint with the new 7th generation nano. When you open the package, you will see that you get the new Lightning syncing/charging cable and the new EarPod headphones with the nano. The nano comes in a minimal, plastic package designed to show off the product, not hide it.
