At a recent Apple music event, the company announced a new crop of iPods. Nice as it is to have a faster iPod touch, I find the 5G nano the most compelling new iPod.
And what makes it compelling are the new video camera and buffered radio features. And it’s exactly these features that I show off in this video.

Yes, I know the volume from the videos shot with the iPod nano and Flip cameras is low. While I could have made the audio easier to listen to by boosting it, I thought you’d get a better idea about the characteristics of each camera’s microphone by leaving the audio alone.
