The new iPod Nano – new year, new music!

Posted on by

nano_productoctAs the new year settles in, it is now time to throw out the old and bring in the new. One thing many people make use of every day is their digital music player. If you are looking to upgrade, look no further than the new iPod Nano. With a new body and a few new extras, without sacrificing the features you have come to love, the new iPod Nano is exactly what you have been looking for.

New shape

One of the most obvious changes in the new iPod Nano is the way it looks. The tiny player began thin and long with a small screen and large buttons, changed over the years to a more square shape nearly half its size and has finally reverted back to its larger and longer look. However, the difference with this incantation is its large screen and the fact that it is the thinnest iPod made so far. The size of a credit card, view videos from your iPod Nano on the go then place it in your pocket for safe keeping.

New colours

The new iPad Nano comes in a host of pastel shades, including purple, blue, pink, green and yellow. Applied on a smooth anodized aluminium case, the colours pop from the player, so it not only sounds great, but also looks great.

New functionality

One of the best features the new iPod Nano has is its Bluetooth 4.0 technology. This allows you to pair the player with Bluetooth enabled speakers and headphones and even your car – all wirelessly! Another great addition is the Nike+ support and a pedometer, perfect for working out. It can monitor a number of things including heart rate, distance, pace, time, progress and much more, all while playing your favourite workout songs.

New EarPods

The way you listen to your tunes is just as important as the player itself. With Apple’s new EarPods, you get superior audio quality to rival high-end headphones. These small earphones may look unassuming, but they pack a punch, improving your music and viewing experience.

So, upgrade to the new iPod Nano this year. Head to Apple dealer, Next Byte to see the new iPod Nano up close and personal. To find a store near you, call Next Byte on 1300 361 119 today.

touch_product-sideThe iPod range has been around for 12 years, offering a wide and extensive variety of products delivering music, video and the internet and much more, all in one convenient package. But with four different styles to choose from, which one is right for you?

Touch

Just before the iPhone was released, this little beauty was the epitome of everything you needed in one handy, compact casing. Available in five vibrant shades, the iPod touch offers a music player, camera and a wide range of apps all in one product. The new version of this well-loved iPod also offers a new, thinner and lighter design, 4-inch Retina display, iOS6 software and the all new EarPods.

Nano

Another rebooted iPod, the iPod Nano is now super thin, with a large display – perfect for those who are always on the go. Featuring the all new EarPods and Nike apps for your more active side, the iPod Nano is a great workout mate as well as your best cool down companion.

Shuffle

The biggest drawcard for the iPod Shuffle is its size. Available in seven different colours, this tiny music player can clip onto your clothes anywhere, so it feels like it isn’t even there! With room for hundreds of songs and up to 15 hours battery life, this little music player is bigger on the inside.

Classic

There is nothing like your first love. The iPod Classic is just like you remember, chunky, big and coming in two classic colours. Fill it to the brim with 160GB worth of storage, allowing it to hold up to 40,000 songs, 200 hours of video or 25,000 photos. A little bit external hard drive, a little bit music and video player – sometimes classic is better!

To order any of the products mentioned, or for more advice on any of the iPod family, head to your local Apple retailer, Next Byte, today.

It allows you to back up and access files, photos, music and much more wherever and whenever you want without the need to physically plug in your computer or similar device and sync it up.

Once this is complete, iCloud will operate automatically, so you can sit back and relax. If you buy a new Apple device like an iPhone or iPad, the iCloud is entirely compatible, as they all come with the operating system iOS5, or OS X Lion for Mac computer and laptops.

Why You Should Buy An iPod

Classic Apple iPod

The Original Classic Apple iPod

There is no denying the fact that the iPod is considered universally, to be one of the most, if not the best MP3 player on the market. Apple has strived hard and has indeed managed to offer what can only be termed as an elegant, sophisticated and the most comprehensive solution to your portable music needs.

One reason why many are choosing an iPod over other music players is due to its ability to play audio files of many different formats – WAV, MP3, M4A, AIFF, MPEG-4 and more. When you install an iPod it is associated with a host computer, the iTunes installed in the computer synchronises itself to the iPod once it is connected. From there you can import entire music libraries to your iPod. iTunes allows you to create playlists and customise them depending on your tastes.

Furthermore, Apple has created a friendly user interface with sliding animations and colour displays that enhance visualisation. Ipod buttons of today have click wheel integration technology, which creates a totally uncluttered and attractively minimalistic interface. The click wheel allows you to easily control the volume and scroll through the menu items.

Yet another great advantage is the storage capacity size of the iPod. The latest fourth and fifth generation iPods now have a storage capacity of 20 to 40 gigabytes, so you can be rest assured that you will never run out of songs to listen to!

Additionally, the latest generation iPods now have music menus, plenty of space and attractive support for more than one playlist. The device itself is petite when you consider the capacity it is capable of holding.

You can now enjoy listening to your favourite music undisturbed and unencumbered while you are hitting the gym, in your car, on the train or at work. Today you can not only listen to podcasts and music videos on your iPod but you can also watch TV programs and other content!
