Yesterday, Apple reps flew in to show the media their new line-up of iPods. Of the lot, the iPod Nano 5G took the spotlight with a number of new features, including a 0.3 megapixel video camera.
With a bigger screen (2.2-inches vs. 2-inches) and much more features, the iPod Nano 5G will continue to be the most top-selling iPod in the line.
Odd thing though is that the VGA video camera can only record videos and cannot take still photos. Apple execs say it’s because people only liked/wanted taking and sharing videos, not photos. Included is a microphone and speakers too.
The FM radio tuner was also added, despite years of avoiding such feature, since Apple found a way to monetize it — one can tag a song played on the radio and later on be able to buy it thru iTunes.
The 8GB model costs Php8,790. On a side note, the iPod Shuffle has a Special Edition made of polished stainless steel instead of the usual anodized aluminum (priced at Php5,490).
wrong decision for that.. pictures for me are quite fun than videos…
you only want us to buy this thing and then next year you’ll *release the 6th gen that can took pictures and video with high pic. quality..
your just wasting our money…
at first i like this one but then I realize this was just for them to sell, and for their company to grow more

I am impressed by the sleek design and the variety of colors. Apple is growing more by the launch of new iPhones, ipods, etc. There is a camera installed at the back but the picture quality is not very satisfying. FM Radio feature is also not great. Now lets come to the main highlights, the excellent mp3 player. The sound quality is awesome. People will surely enjoy music and go crazy.
I just wanna ask where I could buy Ipod Nano 5G within Manila area?
Thanks!
Where could I buy Ipod Nano 5G within Manila area?
the Nano only has Video Recording capability due to the fact that the module for video recording is smaller than the module for still images and they dont wanna make the nano bulk up. this is what el Stevo said during the Q&A after the Keynote.
are there apple stores in pinas? where exactly? have you tried sending apple ipod nano 5g from states to pinas thru fedex? how much would be the duties and taxes when it arrives here in pinas? ideas or breakdown from receipt anyone?
^ yung ipod nano ko naman is pretty much ok.. it’s a 4th gen bought it last January.. tumatagal naman sya ng 3 days with at least 5 hour use per day (pag pasok, during breaks and pag-uwi).. pero pansin ko ung ipod nano ng friend ko parang mas mahaba yung oras and mas maganda yung quality despite parehong gen naman (same earphones as well)
“Apple execs say it’s because people only liked/wanted taking and sharing videos, not photos.â€
Who the heck told them that?!
Waaah. Missed the keynote due to jetlag. :(
Mukhang fun pa naman. :) Nice photos.
We all thought Apple would release something more than just upgraded iPods, but this Nano seemed ok when we were playing around with it. View the full specs on www.Technorats.com
zune hd FTW!
I thought they released something else aside from the 5g iPod Nano. Thanks for answering my question sir Abe. :)

… should have been “for you to tag and ..
So the FM radio was added for you tag and buy the song from iTunes? Nice decision. Give it to Apple any time.
I presumed these tunes cannot be copied/played on other media. Like the songs I downloaded from Smart music. They would not play anywhere else – just on the phone. Not even when the phone is connected to the USB port of your player/computer.
