Is the new iPod Nano as good (or better) a podcasting recorder as the iPod with Video?
14 09 2006Over at the iLounge, they’ve pointed out that the new iPod Nanos now support podcasting and work with the existing iPod Video microphone accessories. With a flash drive rather than a mechanical hard drive, these devices use a lot less power to record and thus may actually last a lot longer in recording mode (no moving parts versus continual spinning of the hard-drive in the full-sized devices)! As you can see, they don’t exactly look pretty with the microphones, but they do work …
… and Nano-sized microphones may just be around the corner (although, after the delay on the last Video iPod Mics, I’m not exactly betting on it!). [Via Steve Rubel]
Wouldn’t you know it? I just bought an iPod Nano a couple months ago, not knowing that a new version was on the horizon. Of course I was only able to choose from black and white, while now there are all these other colors (and the podcasting support, too). Pretty depressing!!
