Ipod nano gen 6 features:

Speakers? [No]

Apps/games? [No]

Microphone? [No]

Camera? [No]

Alarm clock? [No]

Video support? [No]

What does it have then?

Multi touch, totally makes up for everything it doesn't have right?

i see no point to being able to rotate the screen

unless your're really lazy and dont want to just turn the ipod around....

@destroyurcamp You know, they probably left out those major features so they had something for the 7th generation (something apple often does).

The only thing the 6th gen is smaller in is height (height: 37.5 mm, width: 41 mm and thickness: 8.78 mm) while the 5th gen is smaller in width and thickness (height: 91 mm / width: 38 mm / thickness: 6.1 mm)

But i agree that some of the features are not needed like the camera but they would at least have included speakers and an alarm clock.

@Molund the new nano is smaller though and its designed to be like that, on the new ipod there wouldnt be room for those things and otherwise surely people would just by a 5th gen ipod? theres not really a million places the ipod can go so it has to vary all its products. this ipod is based more around being one of the smallest and simplest yet. i didnt really think the alarm one through xD

@destroyurcamp Of course they could fit speakers, microphone and a camera in the nano - If you look the the 5th generation of ipod nano's, it was thinner but longer and they had speakers, microphone, camera - they also had an alarm clock, video support and some apps. They didn't have multi touch but hey had a smarter feature, the click wheel - which made it easy to control the volume, change song and stuff without looking at it.

What's the point of having an alarm when you don't have speakers?

[destroyurcamp]

@Molund speakers, microphone and camera wouldn't even fit on a nano. plus the screen is so small video support would be pointless and i suppose they didn't want people to be buying the nano, instead of the touch for the apps and games. an alarm would be nice though

[Molund]

@roialblu But when you compare the 5th generation to the 6th generation then that's the list of what 5th gen have and 6th doesn't have.

It's like they released a new iphone with new design except they took out the app market, the clock, the cameras, decreased battery time and only had phone, message, facetime and the possibility to change background (an example). Would you buy that iPhone for the same price as a 4s? No.

@Molund its plays music. i here your phone calling with microsoft offering you a job now in their futures thinking department - lets put what we have already in phones into an music player. if you just stop and think a little you'll see why but only if you 'think'. :)
