the indie lumberjack.

(yes, the title is a joke)

The new generation of iPods is coming out soon [this fall] and you should all be pretty excited…or as excited as you can be for the same exact product with one or maybe two new features. [I feel like each generation of iPod is like each new year/version of Madden].

Anyway, the new generation of iPod Nanos looks to actually be the best one since their debut. This one seems to have everything that an iPod [not Touch or Phone] should have always had. I’ll outline its features and let you decide whether or not its worth the $149 [8gb] and $179 [16gb] price tags.

1. A bigger screen – The screen is now 2.2 inches instead of 1.7. That’s a whole half an inch bigger [and ladies, you know that size matters].
2. FM Radio – Finally my iPod can let me listen to the radio [although if you have to rely on the radio...you probably need to have a less crappy iTunes library]. Also has a “Live Pause” option that lets you pause the radio.
3. Voice Over – Your iPod will now tell you what song/artist you’re listening to without you having to look at it. [Not knowing what is on your iPod, ftw]
4. A pedometer - Now you can track how far you walk/run while you exercise and rock out [forgive me for the 80's coming out in me]
5. A voice recorder – Now you can be like Capt. Kirk or James Bond; record your thoughts or blackmail your friends. The possibilities are endless…so watch what you say.

Now, last but certainly not the least of the new features, is a video camera. I know what you’re thinking…how did Apple fit a video camera in something the length of my index finger. It [supposedly] takes clean audio, captures crisp video, and probably makes you more attractive to everyone around you.

So what is my verdict? I’m going to buy it. As soon as it comes out, this is going in my pocket.

  Jobs couldn’t find a different word to use other than “great” in his presentation. Attack of the Show introduced the Thesaurus: http://g4tv.com/videos/41441/Olivia–Chris-Thesaurus-PSA/

  Other than that, good stuff, I can’t wait to buy it haha
  I’m kind of curious as to what will be on the next next next generation nano
