iPod Nano 5th Generation ReviewNano iPod Criticisms & Successes
With the nation going digital, it was just a matter of time before mobile digital media players hit the market. In October 2001, Apple unleased its brand of iPod MP3 players on the market, beginning with the iPod Classic. Later, iPod models like the iPod Mini, the iPod Photo, the iPod Shuffle, the iPod Nano and the iPod Touch would enter the scene. The Nano iPod proved to be the most enduring model to date, effectively replacing the Mini. People who bought a new Nano could use Apple’s intuitive iTunes software to legally download and transfer music from their computers to their devices. According to the most recent statistics, over 220 million iPods have been sold worldwide, making it the #1 selling digital music player in history.
The initial criticism of the Nano iPod was its faulty LCD screen. Within days of owning the product, some users reported that the screen was so easily scratched they couldn’t even read the song titles. Even something as soft as a micro-fiber cloth was known to damage the delicate screens. Even though “less than 1%” of all devices suffered this problem, Apple agreed to replace iPod Nanos with cracked screens. Nevertheless, a class action lawsuit was filed and is in the process of wrapping up now — a step, which many say, could have been prevented if Apple had just offered full refunds on the Nanotechnology products, rather than charging restocking fees and keeping a short return policy period of 14 days.
The Nano iPod has come under fire by consumers who like to support ethical companies. After the first Nano MP3 player came out, some consumers complained that its bulky, non-renewable packaging was hazardous to the earth and created an unnecessary landfill mess. In response, Apple released their second generation Nano with 50% less packing material. Other consumers were outraged by reports that iPod workers in China made no more than $50/month and worked over 60/six days a week. In 2006, Apple hired a workplace standards auditing company and allowed members to form a union.
The Nano iPod (fifth generation) debuted in 2009 with a surprising new feature — a video camera! Music fans can now shoot videos on-the-go, watch them wherever they are and easily upload the videos right to Youtube, Facebook, MobileMe or email. The nanotechnology applications for video include effects, such as thermal, film grain, kaleido, sepia and x-ray. Because the new Nano has integrated speakers and voice recorders, users will enjoy sound, as well as video. Many people also love that they can listen to FM radio on their iPod Nanos, with the ability to tag songs for later purchasing, pause and rewind. The full vivid color line is available as well, which includes silver, black, green, purple, blue, orange, yellow, red and pink. For $149 to $179, how can you go wrong?
