Current Event 1-4th Generation iPod Nano

My current events article is on the new iPod Nano manufactured by Apple Inc.. I got all my information from the website at the bottom of the post. 
The newest iPod Nano just came out and was officailly announced on 9/9/08. It is the fourth generation one. There are many cool new features that are built into this  iPod. One of the features include the Genius feature. The Genius feature tells you and makes a playlist of songs that you have in your library that go well with the one you are currently listening to. Also, you can find your music faster by simply shifting your iPod horizantally which'll change the view to Cover Flow, or you can press and hold the center button and search by artist or album. Another thing you can do by tilting your iPod is you can listen, watch and play in new ways. Instead of going all the way to the main menu to shuffle your songs, which takes five seconds, all you have to do is shake the iPod to shuffle, which takes only two seconds. You can also download picuters to your iPod, view your photos upright to see them in potrait mode or turn it to the side to see the picture in landscape mode. Did I mention that you can play games on your iPod. Not the parachute and brick breaker games, I mean real ones like Spore. These are games made especially for the iPod nano. Watching videos on your iPod has gotten even better. The fourth generation nano has 2" screen that shows more clear and vivid videos.
I chose to do my current events on the fourth generation iPod Nano because i found a cool and interesting page on the iPod. My opinion on the iPod Nano is that I think that it is very neat and advance. It gives more options than the ones earlier. The iPod nano is very cool because it has hot, new feature like the Genius.
I got my info and based my post on the iPod nano feature page on the apple website- http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/features.html
