iPod Nano 6th generation will be released at Sep. 2010. It’s whole a new generation of iPod nano

iPod was born from 2001 was nearly 10 years, iPod nano is still regarded as the first generation iPod, based on improvement, "Click Wheel + display" to become the embodiment of iPod classic. iPod nano has done a lot, and video playback and recording, FM radio, then those who are despised Jobs 11 features are also constantly adding to the iPod nano, iPod nano can also add what the next step? In addition to upgrade storage space, I would like a good program more.

However, this message today, I do not know happy or sad, iPod nano may be forever lost her touch wheel (Click Wheel), iPod classic image will be gone.

Have multiple sources suggest this may be, the Apple iPod nano will be thoroughly renovated, iPod nano will change its classic physical touch wheel (Click Wheel). I can not imagine, or I just think that Apple Click Wheel is hidden into the iPod nano’s body.

Then, from accessories manufacturer in Shenzhen, China news, they have made good the next generation of iPod touch and iPod nano’s jacket (below).

The next generation of iPod touch looks to increase the camera, but the change does not seem to. But the two boxes above are doing the same thing? I scratch brain can not think of it skin appearance with the iPod nano has the slightest relationship. After a while, seems to have kicked me about something, this is the next-generation iPod nano, and shape is such that a square, four square, you kidding?

Well, a few months ago online through this thing out, a 3×3 cm touch screen. I thought, If Apple use this to create a smaller iPod touch is the brain is broken. Why can such a small screen?

Today know that Apple does not intend carries it to do iPod touch, but the iPod nano.

A iPod nano, without Click Wheel, 3×3cm touch screen, box, you probably already understand.

Yes, in this era of touch screen, Click Wheel physics may no longer technically exist necessary. But so many people who love music may have begun to miss, over the years Click Wheel to bring them happiness. I have a bag like the iPod mini, not the reason why sometimes hold it, thumb at the Click Wheel on the slide will make people feel comfortable and at ease.

Someone Said, Apple is what? Apple is always desperate, resolutely and thoroughly changed, and say goodbye to their past – the courage to change. It seems I can only hope that the future will be better than yesterday was.
