FM Tuner: Another Newest Features

One of the newest features of iPod Nano aside its built-in camera is we can also use it as a pedometer. For for those unfamiliar what pedometer is, according to answers.com, it is an instrument that gauges the approximate distance traveled on foot by registering the number of steps taken.

It is easy to pump up your workouts with music, and now a new version just came out that wants to encourage you to move even more. As you walk or jog, it counts your steps and tells you how many calories you've burned. Talk about motivation. You'll want to park at the far end of the parking lot just to increase the number of your daily steps. The screen is slightly larger than the older version (2.2 inches), making it easier to see and scroll through your music playlists when on the move. There's also a microphone, so you can record a grocery or to-do list while sweating it out.


Not only that, this new Nano also has an FM radio, so if you prefer listening to your favorite station while exercising, you can. I love that it has a built-in video camera too, so if you see a snake while trail running, you can prove it to your pals. It comes in nine bright colors to suit your taste and it's pretty reasonably priced — 8GB for $149 and 16GB for $179.

WOW!!! Cool!!! Imagine how enjoyable for those joggers and maybe some can be inspired to jog with these gadgets.
