With the sixth generation line up, the Apple iPod nano has come up with a total redesign along with slimmer hardware. Well, let me brief you on this a bit first, the new iPod nano 6G facilitates with a multi-touch display and also eradicates the touch sensitive click wheel. Astonishingly, it has dumped the video camera which have been introduced with the iPod nano fifth generation. Now, the all new slim iPod nano sixth generation has a sleek square shaped infrastructure and is powered by an iOS 4.0 like interface. We can very well nomenclate this latest tiny iPod nano Multi-Touch as a minimized replication of the iPod Touch 4th generation.

As it happens the latest Nano installment has been trimmed of all the fat and is way to slimmer than the previous model and as a matter of fact it indeed gets down to the very core of the actual device: In the offering is a small music player that’s really simple, intuitive, and as far as usability is concerned this gadget runs seamlessly.
Well, another interesting thing is that this tool comes along with voice control so, those who are interested can easily grab hold of a microphone for another $30.
