High-quality unboxing photos of Apple's fourth-gen iPod nano

***AppleInsider*** · 09-11-2008, 02:20 PM

The new fourth generation Nano is Apple's thinnest iPod yet, but still delivers the same high resolution display of last year's wider, square model. It introduces Genius playlist creation on the go, audio recording features when used with a mic, and an accelerometer that enables "shake to shuffle" and automatic landscape reorientation with Cover Flow.

The new Nano ships with standard headphones; Apple will release two headphone options next month that include a mic and playback/volume controls: a standard earbud pair for $29 and a premium dual driver, in ear set for $79.

Past photos for comparisons: first-gen iPod nano (2005), second-gen iPod nano (2006), third-generation iPod nano (2007).

Wow. Almost as good as porn.

BandiTT · 09-11-2008, 02:47 PM

Great Macro Photos! 100mm f/2.8???

Any first impressions on the screen quality / difference betwenn Nano 3G and 4G or are they exactly the same???

Alonso Perez · 09-11-2008, 02:51 PM

Guess I was wrong. I didn't think that this was the real nano. I still wonder how practical the curved screen will be. Looks nice though.

i don't think the screen is curved, just the glass protecting the screen.

I know. I'm talking about reflections from the curved surface of the glass.

It might well be. It's an iNano orgy.

nofear1az · 09-11-2008, 04:55 PM

That is one sexy lineup!

I like the silver, blue, green, orange, and <uh-hum> the purple...

I also like the new Touch too.... darn it, Apple! You always make me broke

nofear1az · 09-11-2008, 05:07 PM

I should start taste testing Apple products.... I swear it's candy!

joelsalt · 09-11-2008, 08:09 PM

before seeing those photos i didn't realize just how much smaller the nano actually has gotten since 1G

Nobody takes photos like iLounge. Way better than anyone else. All the colors next to one another, good focus, clear, the best!

Theire images are top notch, but their reporting leaving something to be desired.

"In their disassembly of the iPod touch 2G, iFixit found a particularly interesting component. The new touch sports a Broadcom BCM4325 wireless communicaitons chip with both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support. While some have speculated that Apple may have hidden this chip inside with plans of activating Bluetooth functionality later, it is more likely used to communicate with the Nike+ sensor puck, which uses a proprietary 802.11 protocol."

How does that even get written?

Alan King · 09-11-2008, 11:26 PM

Still own and love the 1G nano, and I never felt like getting another strain of nano but now...

Red is beautiful.

paxman · 09-11-2008, 11:39 PM

Beauties! One for each day of the week. But which two to leave out?

To be sure, I just look at their photos. I literally just wanted to see some pics.

addabox · 09-12-2008, 03:32 AM

That's all well and good, but I'm still having trouble making out the molecular structure of the case.

thetrystero · 09-12-2008, 04:35 AM

how does the size of the click wheel compare to the fat nano?

Dunks · 09-12-2008, 06:34 AM

The silver looks surprisingly smart thanks to the black scroll wheel. The blue one is so luminescent. It makes me wonder if Apple purposefully chose bad colours for the last generation nano so this moment would would have the intended impact. I can't wait to try them out in the apple store this weekend.

I'm having a hard time chosing between the blue nano, the iPod Touch or a white iPhone. iPhone is way expensive for now. I'm wondering if it would be worth holding out for another year or so and see what the next refresh brings.
