New Apple iPod nano with FM & 'live pause'

posted on Friday 14th September 2012 at 13:34

Was quite interested to note that the new / upgraded iPod nano not only has FM, it has a live pause feature too.

I have no idea what this signals, but it’s an interesting development.

What are people’s thoughts?

FM/Live Pause is not a new feature in the nano; Apple introduced the feature with the fifth-generation model three years ago. I tend to use it more when abroad, as FM stations here are by in large unlistenable.

I find it odd that the Nano offers FM, but the iPhone and iPod Touch doesn’t.

Probably because the iPhone and iPod touch both have Wi-Fi, which opens up an abundance of Internet radio listening options, not to mention offline storage features offered by the likes of Pandora and Spotify. Can’t see many of those people demanding FM on their iThings.
