Apple iPod nano 8GB

Remixed for fingertips

iPod nano with Multi-Touch is designed to be easy, intuitive and fun — just like music. And it’s even smaller, so music can be an even bigger part of just about everything.

Music has a whole new feel. iPod nano has been completely redesigned with Multi-Touch — the same technology that makes iPhone, iPad and iPod touch so amazing. Now it’s half the size and even easier to play. And everything you want to hear is just a tap or swipe away.

Turn up the colour. In sleek anodised aluminium and seven bright colours, iPod nano makes a huge statement: You are, most definitely, ready to rock.

Pixels that pop. Show off your album art, photos and the colour-coordinated wallpaper on the 1.5-inch colour display with 240-by-240 pixel resolution. It's tiny yet stunning.

Clip on and cut loose. The new built-in clip makes it easy to move to the music. Just clip iPod nano to your sleeve, jacket or bag. And wherever you go, your favourite tunes are right where you need them. Plug into the groove. With the built-in 30-pin connector, you can easily plug iPod nano into your car stereo system, your speakers at home and many other products made for iPod. It fits your fingers. iPod nano is 46 percent smaller, 42 percent lighter and 100 percent made for music with Multi-Touch. It's the perfect size for a tap or a swipe, so fingertips feel right at home.

FM radio. Touch that dial. Radio nano. Ride the airwaves on iPod nano. The FM tuner shows the artist, song or program you’re listening to. Just tap to see the radio controls, flick the radio dial to change stations and tap to set your favourites. Live Pause. If you need to take a break from listening, don’t miss a minute of radio time with Live Pause. Tap to pause a song or show, then tap again to continue where you left off. You can rewind as far back as 15 minutes or fast-forward to catch up to the live broadcast.
