iPod nano 6G: RIP

The new i-gadget announcements at the Apple event last week were surprising, but not in a good way. Some were expecting Jobs to kill iPod Shuffle, but he reserved that questionable honor to my trusty workout buddy iPod Nano.

Check out this great video review by PCMag analyst Tim Gideon: iPod Touch (iPhone without the phone) and Shuffle (2 Gb screenless) are still ok, but the 6th Generation Nano gets a RIP-rating.



I'll hang on to my 5G iPod Nano (the only Nano with a video camera) as long as it lives. It's great for listening to podcasts, audiobooks and music while exercising or trying to sleep in a hotel room before a race.

I haven't been using the pedometer feature with Nike+ connection for a long time though. It never quite achieved what was expected/promised.
