freebiejeebies have recently been expressing their excitement over the new iPod nano to be released by Apple during the last Apple store down time. A complete redesign of a product, almost like welcoming a new face to the family.
The iPod nano’s redesign comes as somewhat of a surprise to most seeing as most of the iPod range had taken somewhat of a back burner considering the clear domination of the iPod touch and iPhone. We’re glad to see Apple have not forgotten but is what they’ve done a good thing?
There’s good things and bad things about the new iPod nano, Apple have focussed the product’s design on a particular market which may have been the wrong choice. The iPod nano had always been the popular choice for gifts as it’s far more affordable than the iPod classic. The iPod nano’s range of colours had always made it very popular with children but it’s new lightweight, easy to lose design may not have been the best idea.
