Disassembling iPod Nano 5G


If there’s one thing you can count on – beyond third-party accessories – it’s that as soon as a new iPod hits the shelves, it’ll be torn down to its component parts. iFixit have already begun to strip the camera-toting iPod nano 5G out of its glossy shell and down to bare circuit-boards, and even if chip codes and DACs mean nothing to you there’s something scandalously exciting about watching it happen.

The good news is that the nano 5G seems to have been put together pretty well, with a think chunk of glass covering the 2.2-inch display and the casing reluctant to open and reveal its secrets. The battery is of course soldered onto the mainboard, and nothing inside is intended for user-access or attention.
So far there are no great surprises to be found, but we’ll be satisfied with decent build quality. The iPod nano 5G is on sale now, available in 8GB and 16GB capacities.

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.

Customizing the Main Menu Screen of Your iPod Nano 5G: Part 2/2



This the second and last part of my post yesterday. Go and get informed with this post and feel free to comment in any of my posts.


The same playback settings menu includes a volume limit feature to prevent you or your children from turning the iPod Nano up too loud.

From: cnet.com.au


Annoyed to find your music playback shuffled every time the Nano gets jostled? Apple's "shake-to-shuffle" feature is fun at first, but can become tiresome after a few misfires. You can turn the feature off using the playback settings menu.

From: cnet.com.au

Under general settings, you can enable a large font option to make menus easier to read on the Nano's relatively small screen.

From: cnet.com.au


Another feature that wears thin after a while is the Cover Flow view that appears when you turn the Nano on its side. If you'd rather that your screen not rotate every time the Nano is held sideways, use the general settings menu to deactivate the feature.

WOW! This really something that can help beginner users of iPod Nano 5G to start with.

Customizing the Main Menu Screen of Your iPod Nano 5G: Part 1/2


OK, so now you know how to manage your iPod Nano in iTunes. Let's also look at some ways you can personalise the Nano using settings on the device itself.

One thing a lot of users miss is the ability to customize the main menu screen.

From: cnet.com.au



Let's say you're really into TV shows and dislike having to click around to find them. If you dive into the settings menu and select General and Main Menu, you'll find a list of media options you can add or remove from the main menu.

From: cnet.com.au

We also recommend browsing and previewing the selection of EQ presets in the playback section of the settings menu to help make the most of the iPod's sound quality.

I try to post the whole information from cnet.com, but I think this could be annoying for reader to look for long image after image with simple steps on customizing your iPod Nano 5G image. If you think not, you can still go to cnet.com.au.
