iPod Video Nano
I'm in love... with my new iPod Nano.
I never owned or even cared to own one. Until last year when someone gave me a Shuffle for a present, which I use for listening to audio podcasts and books.
When the new iPod nano came out I just knew I had to have one.
After playing with it for the first few hours, I thought about upgrading to an iPod with a larger screen. However, I decided to wait until some of the inevitable kinks are worked out and prices hopefully decline. I mean, it's a big jump going from $150 to $250 for the next size screen.
A few minor niggles with my iPod Nano
- The scrolling goes so fast that you sometimes miss the menu you want. It will just take some getting used to.
- If you want to play an audio book on slow, it has a strange sound. Until there is a firmware upgrade, I use normal speed.
Oh, and for the price Apple charges, I really think a little pouch should be included to protect the unit. It would be a lot more useful than the Apple stickers that come in the box!
Why am I interested in the iPod as a photographer?
Well, I can store images and video; including full-resolution photos if desired. No more carrying around a small photo album in my handbag. Now I show my photos via a mini electronic slideshow.
As soon as find one that is compatible with my iPod, I will get an Apple iPod Camera Connector. It lets you transfer images from a digital camera to video iPods.
Resetting the iPod
I had to reset the iPod a couple of times and tried a number of suggestions offered by Apple. Here's the one that actually worked:
Lay the iPod on a flat surface and then simultaneously hold down the Select and Menu buttons for about six seconds. Just to be safe, I reset the iPod using iTunes.
