This nano feels practically the same as a 2nd generation nano, (unless you have a really gay hand that feels the slight changes in the mm and degrees the new nano has) but when it comes on to look and brain, that’s where this generation stands out. Apple gives you a few old colors along with a lot of new ones. This new nano also comes with an accelerometer. Give it a shake to shuffle your music. Turn it sideways to view Cover Flow. And play games designed with your moves in mind. With the new Genius feature your iPod nano turns into your own highly intelligent, personal DJ. It creates playlists by finding songs in your library that go great together.
