5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
First up comes a new iPod shuffle, available in the highly popular (PRODUCT) RED color, simultaneously showing how cool you are while helping third world causes at the same time. Then as very widely predicted, the iPod nano has gone ‘fat’ – sporting a 320x240 2-inch LCD screen, which Jobs boasts is not only 65% brighter than the previous second-gen nano screen (which was itself 40% brighter than the original 1st-gen nano), but is also the ‘densest’ screen unveiled on an iPod so far at ‘204 pixels per inch’ delivering top notch video even though the screen is only 2-inches. But the improvements don’t stop there. Coverflow is now a capability if the new iPod nano, letting users scroll through album covers using the iPod nano’s standard click wheel. Battery life is set at 24 hours for audio, and 5 hours for video, while yet another new feature is the ability to play iPod games on the nano, with the nano having three games pre-loaded. The include ‘iQuiz’, an entertainment trivia game, ‘Vortex’, a 360 degree brick-bashing game, and ‘Klondike’, a solitaire card game. But, just as is possible with existing 5G iPods, other games will also be available including Soduku, Tetris, Ms. Pac-man and more. The new 4GB iPod nano comes only in silver and will retail for US $149, while the new 8GB iPod nano comes in all the other colors, including red, and will retail for a very Christmas-shopping season friendly US $199, with any price premium for the (PRODUCT) RED model now having disappeared. Next up on the list of new iPods is a revamped 5th-generation (5G) iPod Classic, coming with the same Coverflow enhancements and built-in games now offered as standard on the iPod nano line, but with some other cool improvements, including a thinner all-metal body, and now two size choices of 80GB and a whopping 160GB hard disk letting you store 40,000 songs in your pocket! Better still, battery life has been dramatically increased, with the US $249 80GB model offering 30 hours of audio and 5 hours of video playback, rising to a whopping 40 hours of audio and 7 hours of video playback on the new US $349 160GB iPod classic model. But the coolest news of the event wasn’t the fact the nano now plays video, or that the iPod goes classic with the biggest hard drive ever. It was news that the iPod touch IS REAL!
