The Newest Version of the IPOD nano

The newest version of the IPOD Nano offers an array of features that make the experience of listening to music that much more dynamic for the user. Aesthetically, the design has been altered, with a much larger and brighter screen, making it much easier to browse through the library. It is now offered in nine colors: a much more unique spectrum than the original pastel colors that were offered in the former versions. The IPOD Nano now offers a new search feature as well: the cover flow. The user can browse through music by the album covers rather than the ordinary listing of the track titles, making the experience more visual, which is the essential goal of the Apple Company. The new IPOD Nano now offers the “Genius” feature, reflecting how the advancement of technology directly caters to our society’s need for luxury. The “Genius” feature creates automatic playlists based on a selected song, which saves individuals the hassle from having to browse through the seemingly endless library in order to construct a single playlist. Also, users can now physically shake the IPOD as a way of shuffling songs, making the technology exciting and that much more interactive. While slight alterations have been made to the newest version of the IPOD Nano, it truly encompasses how the techno-realm continues to cater to the convenience and luxury of contemporary society, which by and large serves as the catalyst for the continual incline of Apple product sales.
