Gift Tip 65: iPod nano 5G - The iPod With A Camera

Now the time has come when listening to music and watching videos can be combined with the power to shoot and edit movies. The iPod nano 5G is the latest hot device from Apple. Available in both 8GB and 16GB capacities, the world’s most popular music player now gives you even more with the built-in video camera and next-generation user interface.

The iPod nano’s built-in video camera lets you record the fun as it happens. You can even add effects to your videos and share them with friends on the Internet when connected to a PC. The iPod nano’s polished anodized aluminum finish in nine electrifying colors makes it the most dazzling nano yet. A larger 2.2-inch color display for your viewing pleasure makes album art, pictures, and video pop with vibrant colors like never before. You can even shake to shuffle your songs on this little electronic giant.

The iPod nano 5G now includes FM Radio with Live Pause which makes listening to the radio a whole new experience where you won’t miss a beat of your favorite tune or radio program. Additionally, the VoiceOver ability speaks the names of songs and artists so you don’t have to navigate using the screen. Just use the Click Wheel or the controls on the optional Apple Earphones with Remote and VoiceOver tells you the song name and who’s performing it without interrupting your music. You are never distracted from your ride or run by looking down at the screen.

This new iPod nano 5G has an amazingly thin and light form factor and very solid construction. The very high quality, bright, scratch resistant screen goes well with the game playing and new photo and video playback features. The iPod nano 5G also features new animated menus, new and expanded mini-apps, new search features, and impressive photo playback features for TV slide presentations.

Great Gift For
Gifting an Apple iPod is seldom a miss. This all-new iPod nano 5G has the cool gadget factor because it is very small and packs a camera.
