Video from the iPod nano 5G
In my initial thoughts post on the iPod nano 5G, I promised some video soon so you could all see the quality as that’s been the most requested of me on Twitter. I took the nano out with me today and was approached by someone who thought my bright orange gadget looked rather tasty. Luckily I was able to capture his enthusiasm on video.
Like I mentioned in my last post about the nano, I am seriously impressed with the video quality but I’m also extremely pleased with that of the audio. Of the more expensive camcorders I have owned over the years, the audio quality was somewhat of a disappointment. Either quite muffled or an over-sensitive built-in mic, something that the Aiptek AHD200 suffered from which meant that a gentle breeze would quickly be translated as a force nine gale.
Here’s another video taken with the nano today…
My usual path when uploading video to the Mac from the nano is via iPhoto, then from within QuickTime I can quickly trim a clip and upload it to YouTube from within QT, or pop it onto Flickr. Both of the videos here are direct from the nano and uploaded to Flickr. If I want to do something special with it then I’ll import it into iMovie and do some editing in there. However, one of the things I bought the nano for was quick simple video I could upload to twitvid which will then be auto-posted to Twitter. That’s simply a case of syncing the nano, importing the video into iPhoto, again just trimming in QuickTime and then saving the video (.mov) and uploading to the twitvid site. They’re usually very speedy in processing the video to share instantly on twitter.
I know video quality of the iPod nano is something that many people out there are interested in knowing about, as was I before I decided to purchase. But I hope the above videos go some way to reassuring you that this is no fuzzy pixelated offering from Apple.
As mentioned in this post, if there’s anything specific you would like to know about the iPod nano from someone that is enjoying playing with it then do feel free to ask in the comments

Little over two weeks ago I took delivery of a 32GB iPhone 4, having ordered the SIM free version direct from Apple. I was out of contract, making me fully available for an upgrade from o2, but the lure of my current £15 o2 iPhone Simplicity tariff with 300 mins and unlimited texts was too

Today my 32GB iPad was shipped, 7 days exactly before the official UK release date of Friday 28th May. I was a little surprised as I wasn’t anticipating shipping until early next week.

Switching to o2 iPhone Simplicity

Today my 18 month iPhone 3G contract with o2 came to an end. For a few months I’ve heard some fellow o2-iPhone friends talk about moving to an iPhone Simplicity tariff with a 30-day rolling contract, leaving them free and single to sign a new contract when the newest and shiniest iPhone hits the streets,
The Apple iPad

For weeks the rumour mill has been in full swing with regards to a tablet device on it’s way from Apple. While excited to officially hear about the new creation, I was unusually tired of the speculation and delusion from many big unofficial Apple news sites, giving us random bits of detail from non-reliable sources
Quick Look: New Apple Remote

When I ordered the Magic Mouse from Apple Store online a couple of weeks ago, I popped the new Apple Remote into my shopping cart. Then a day later the shipping dates changed on the remote which would have held my mouse up for at least another 36 days. So, I removed the remote and

The Apple Magic Mouse arrived at Fruit Bytes HQ late this afternoon, courtesy of UPS. Having ordered it direct from Apple Store online 9 days ago, I was very much looking forward to receiving it and having a bit of a play to see how it compared to it’s older sibling, the Mighty Mouse.

After a very long 7 months, my Gadget abstinence has come to a shuddering halt thanks to the new iPod nano with video camera. I opted for the very juicy orange in the largest 16GB capacity, which cost £135. I ordered from the Apple Store online at around 1.30pm yesterday afternoon and it arrived via

After Snow Leopard was a no show for me and many others on release day yesterday, apparently due to Royal Mail walkouts, I was hopeful that my copy would arrive today but wasn’t too expectant as the estimated delivery date was 2nd September. However, at 10am sharp my copy landed on the doormat. Once I’d
