hey I'm Donnell Bell and this is Apple's updated iPod Nano for 2011 this is essentially the same design that Apple introduced in 2010 offered in the same seven colors but with an updated software if you already have a 2010 model the software update comes free as an automatic iTunes download now one of the big changes that Apple is made for 2011 is the price which is down to $129 for 8 gigabytes or $149 for 16 gigs the touchscreen interface now shows just one icon at a time instead of grouping them together in a grid of four which makes it easier to operate also the watch feature now has 18 different watch faces to choose from including a few for the kiddies but the coolest feature Apple is thrown in here is the full Nike Plus fitness system before you'd have to use a sensor in your shoe and have a Nike connector plugged into the bottom of the iPod but now all you need is this the built-in pedometer can track walking and running as two separate features and when you plug it back into your computer iTunes will upload all that information to a free Nike Plus account where you can track your progress and set goals it's a great feature for this kind of gym friendly mp3 player everything else on the Nano is just what you'd expect you get apples outstanding support from music podcasts audiobooks and playlists the FM radio has this unique live pause feature that lets you temporarily pause and resume live radio and extras like photos timers stop watches are all nice to have and of course let's not forget the clip the metal clip here on the back makes it easy to take with you and no matter which way you clip it you can use two fingers to rotate the screen around it's also useful to know that a double-click on the sleep button will skip to the next track so that's the update of 2011 iPod Nano a useful and stylish choice for the gym there's still a little pricey compared to something like the sand is sand the line of mp3 players which can be had for under $50 scene is calm I'm Donald ow
