Apple iPod nano 8 GB Black (4th Generation)

Apple iPod nano 8 GB Black (4th Generation) With introductions like the accelerometer, genius, redesigned interface, and an even smaller package, who couldn’t love Apple’s new Ipod nano? While these sound like great additions, they really don’t result in a better ipod. While the new interface, genius, and size, don’t hurt, the accelerometer really ruins the whole package. The accelerometer might work well in the iphone and ipod touch, in the nano it is just really annoying. It is way to sensitive and causes problems with simple things like volume. The accelerometer often changes the now playing screen to the cover flow which keeps the volume from being changed without the ipod being pulled out and flipped.

The shake to shuffle also causes problems, it is to sensitive as well and will activate when it is not intended to. At least the shake to shuffle can be turned off, I just wish the the accelerometer as a whole could be turned off. If it had that capacity this review could have easily turned from a 2 to a 5.
