iPod Samsung ARM 2010

The Apple iPod nano (Sixth Generation/1.54" Multitouch/Clip) represented a dramatic design shift from previous iPod nano models, featuring a small, square aluminum and glass case with a rear "clip" for attaching to clothing, similar to iPod shuffle models.

It was equipped with a 1.54" color TFT display (240x240, 220 ppi) and supported a multitouch interface running an iOS-like operating system. However, it could not run standard iOS applications or games from previous iPod models. Key features included an integrated pedometer, an FM radio with "live pause," and support for Nike+iPod, VoiceOver, and "Shake to Shuffle." It lacked a microphone, speaker, and camera.

It was available in silver, graphite, blue, green, orange, pink, and a (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition. All colors were offered with either 8 GB or 16 GB of flash memory, holding approximately 2000 or 4000 songs and 7000 or 14,000 photos, respectively. It did not support video playback. Apple estimated battery life at "up to" 24 hours of music playback.

On October 4, 2011, Apple introduced a "new" version of this iPod nano, which was identical (including identifiers) except for updated software—featuring larger icons, new clock faces, and improved fitness tracking—and a lower price. The original models could also be updated with this new software.

The 6th generation iPod nano was a radical departure, swapping the iconic click wheel for a tiny, square, multitouch screen and a clip-on design. Reviewers in 2010 were divided. They praised its sharp display, durable aluminum body, and its utility as a fitness companion, thanks to the integrated pedometer and Nike+ support. However, the removal of video playback and the camera, hallmarks of the previous generation, was a significant drawback for many. The small screen, while responsive, made navigating long lists of music a chore. Its most enduring legacy, however, was unintentional: users started wearing it as a watch using third-party wristbands, prompting Apple to add more clock faces in a software update. It was a polarizing device that sacrificed features for ultimate portability, and in doing so, accidentally previewed the concept of a smartwatch.
