Sep 24th 2007 12:16 am Are The Apple iPod Classic and Apple iPod Nano Similar?
You have to agree that all iPod’s serve a similar purpose – to listen to music. So, whether there are variations in features like audiobooks, video, and storage capacity, all iPod’s are very similar. Since I already own an iPod Nano (not the latest edition), I have done a lot of research on the newer series that have just come out and I must admit that there are definitely a lot of similarities between the new Apple iPod Nano and the Apple iPod Classic.
The basic reason for my researching on the two new products is because I wanted to update my collection and buy an iPod Classic. Being the sixth generation in the iPod family, the iPod Classic more or less has the same features as its predecessors. Outwardly, the only difference is that it now has a metal face instead of the usual plastic ones.
Both the Classic and the Nano have a sort of aluminum metal face that encloses the glass screen. Both these gadgets use the same operating system. And, both the devices have more than ample storage capacities and are extremely fast.
Since I already own a second-generation iPod Nano, the only factor about the Classic that allures me is its massive storage limits in comparison to all the other players in the market. However, when I first went out to buy the Nano, this was the exact same reason that lured me to it at that time. Also, just like the Nano, the Classic is also super-tiny.
The iPod Classic boasts of an increased capacity, an overhauled user interface, a sleeker form, a full-metal enclosure and is extremely compatible with certain accessories that are equally compatible with the other iPod’s.
So, whether you are opting for the iPod Nano or whether it is the iPod Classic that does it for you, keep in mind that all these iPod’s are extremely good in their own way.
All in all, the iPod Classic is all about size and storage. In its heyday, this was the same motto used for the iPod Nano. Pay less and you get to store more – who wouldn’t want an iPod Classic nestling comfortable in their pockets?
