Introducing, my November Twin Babies! Born on November 24, 2011. But since i only have two ears, i will be giving the pink one to my dear sister. No, i didnt buy it from the Black Friday sale… because i wanted the free engraving option, so I had to buy it online. Lol.

The (Product)™ Red iPod Nano 6g.

Red Apple

My favorite part! I had to post this Mickey Mouse clock face!

Apple just announced the new MacBook Air 11″ and 13″ in size, last October 20, 2010 at its Back to Mac Event.

The processor is still Core 2 Duo and a 2gb ram, graphic card is Nvidia 320M graphics processor, a 64GB flash-based hard drive (now that’s something new.), USB port, an SD card slot and of course, the FaceTime camera (same camera used in iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4). Battery lasts upto 5-7 hours. Apple also included a Software Reinstall Drive for the new MacBook Air.

Apple also announced the new Mac OS X operating system which they call it, Lion, and the new iLife ’11. You can upgrade to iLife ’11 for $7.99 if you purchased your MacBooks last October 1, 2010. $49 is the regular price for iLife ’11.

iPod Nano 5G

“Nano shoots video“, as what Apple would advertise to their newest product line. The new iPod Nano 5G shoots video. It has a 2.2-inch (diagonal) TFT display / 240-by-376-pixel resolution at 204 pixels per inch. The video is a H.264 VGA video, 640 by 480 pixels, up to 30 frames per second with AAC audio. It also contain 15 cool video effects: Sepia, Black and White, X-Ray, Film Grain, Thermal, Security Cam, Cyborg, Bulge, Kaleido, Motion Blur, Mirror, Light Tunnel, Dent, Stretch, and Twirl. The effects listed are the same effects as of Photobooth.

It has the feature called “VoiceOver“, you know, iPod telling you the title and artist of the song, which the new iPod shuffle also have. And also the shake feature when you want to shuffle a song. Other features contain the Live Radio with live pause and tagging function, the pedometer that is useful for joggers.

The iPod Nano has 3 built-in games. Klondike, Maze, and Vortex. I only played them once. There are some games in iTunes but they are so expensive… like $4.99 each game.

It has an audio playback for upto 24 hours, and video playback for upto 5 hours… only 4 hours and 1 hour difference with iPod Touch and iPhone. Not bad at all.

We can sync contacts, photos, notes, calendar’s to-do’s from itunes to our Nano. We can also record voice memos with Nano’s built-in microphone.

There is no way to get our recorded videos using iTunes by the way. We need to enable disk use our ipod and click the DCIM folder to see our videos.

Advantages:
- Small, handy, flatty mp3 player
- Shoots video!
- Motion Sensor
- Microphone

Disadvantages:
- Compatibility – for videos, we need to convert the format to mp4 or to any compatible format.
- No available games for FREE.
- Dock connector is on the right side while lower versions are on the left. Some speakers support only lower versions of iPod Nano.
- Cannot add notes/contacts/to-do’s directly from nano.

Rate: 7/10.
