The new fifth-generation of the iPod nano brings a lot of new features and options to the technology table. So, how does it compare to previous generations?
Features wise, the fifth-generation iPod nano has several improvements. First of all, you can pause live radio and tag the songs being heard. Having this feature enables a person to go to the iTunes store and purchase those tagged songs.
In a first for the series, the latest nano has a video camera, which allows a person to record funny and entertaining activities or record lectures
Also, the latest nano has tilt action that allows you to shuffle the songs just by shaking it. For the health-conscious, the fifth-generation iPod nano has a pedometer to count your steps.
Aesthetically, the latest nano is thinner than previous generation, has a larget screen, and comes in the same variety of colors as the fourth-generatio nano. However, it is also has a polished exterior that is a first for the nano series.
The fifth-generation iPod nano also has a few major flaws. Using the speakers on the iPod drains the battery faster. Also, the headphones must be plugged into the jack to hear the radio, since the headphone wires are used as antennas to detect the radio signals. Another vice of the fifth-generation iPod nano is the tag option does not work unless the radio station provides the song's name.
Compared to the fifth-generation iPod nano, previous generations have fewer features and are thicker. The fifth-generation iPod can hold up to 2000 songs, while the older version iPod could hold up to only 500 songs. The second-generation iPod could not play music videos, but the newer iPods can. The fifth-generation iPod nano costs roughly $149.00.

Sounds like the 5th generation iPod is way better than previous versions. I'm definitely interested in getting one now.

This is a poorly written article. How did this get in the newspaper?
