ipod nano brief review

Playlist's Hands-on Review of the iPod nano: "

Filed under: Books and Blogs, iPod Family

I'm very jealous of Christopher Breen over at Playlist right now. He managed to get his hands on exactly the iPod nano I want (but will not splurge for): the 2GB4GB black one. It's a good first hands-on review, noting a few of the things that some of us may have wondered about: '...you'll find no TV Out commands in its Slideshow Settings window because it can't project pictures to an attached television. Also, it doesn't work with Apple's iPod Camera Connector or Belkin's Media Reader, which means you can't upload pictures to it. And although the Diagnostic Screen shows a LineIn test, current iPod microphones require a connection to the Remote Control port as well, which is missing on the nano.'

Also, it looks like the black iPod nano comes with the same white earbuds. Dumb! The lanyard is currently only offered in white, too. I hope Apple rectifies this and gives us matching black peripherals.


One cool thing that I wasn't expecting: the iPod nano comes with a little dock adapter so that you can slip the nano into any existing dock you may already own. Nice.
