The new iPod nano is almost the dinkiest of Apple’s iPod line (just edged out of the top spot by the teeny-weeny iPod Shuffle), it’s also the most wearable and useable, a little slice of the future that you can clip to your collar or slip into an iPod nano watch strap to give yourself a super-stylish addition to your outfit. We love our new iPod nano and think you’ll love yours too. Here’s five things you might not know about your new iPod nano…1. You can make your new iPod nano into a nifty watch
If you want to use your new iPod nano as a watch, you’ll want to be able to see the clock face whenever you wake your device. Hop into Settings then Date & Time and set Time On Wake to on. Now whenever you want to wake your new iPod nano watch press the power button and you’ll see the clock first. Swipe right to see the menu.
2. Your new iPod nano has a nice white on black mode
3. Your new iPod nano will talk to you
Again in Accessibility, you can set Voiceover which will then get your new iPod nano to speak all the actions you take to you and read out song titles in the Music function. That’s handy if you don’t want to look down at the controls when you’re in the gym.
4. There’s a secret new iPod nano diagnostic mode…
To access the secret mode hidden in the software on your new iPod nano, you just need to hold down the sleep and volume buttons until the Apple logo appears. Holding down all three buttons activates Diagnostic Mode. You’ll see the message iTerm: iPod Display console and a series of menus including the codename for your new iPod nano ‘N20 Snowfox’. Restart your new iPod nano to return to the normal menu mode.
