I have the new Ipod Nano 7th gen, and wondered if I am able to add icons on the the screen ( in form of apps). It gives the impression ( looking at the screen layout) that you can! perhaps im not as High Tech minded as I thought!
Hi
Nope, no extra apps. The manual states 3hrs to charge but I leave it 3 1/2 hrs just in case. By the way, it took 4! iPod nano 7s before the battery lasted non-continuously 6-8hrs of music & up to 12hrs of radio, BlueTooth disactivated & rare screen touching. The 5th! lasts max 23hrs of music & max 12hrs of radio. Only 6 other people seen with a 7th gen, LOTS of people with 1-6 gens still out there, though. The nano 7 is a fantastic machine but only the in-store displays claim 30hrs. Not even the Apple site has this. The 'Net has only battery complaints about the nano 7 & it is worth it to try with a new one, so please return to Apple & give it another go. I charge #5 once a week, on average, & I use it constantly. Good luck :-D
Forgot to add, tones of hard & soft cases for peanuts thru ebay. I like Sogatek for reasonable & speedy designed hard cases, myself.

amp should read up. Autocorrect. =-O
Suparnell,
You can't add new apps to the Nano.
However, the home screens look like they have spare room for additional icons to access existing functions - e.g., on the 6G Nano it was easy to add icons to go directly to Albums or Genius Mixes etc, which made navigation easier. I'm trying to find out if it is possible to add icons (not apps) to the the 7G Nano too.
I would at least expect to be able to add my own choice of running app. This was the whole point when buying the Nano. I am really disappointed.
iPod nano, like all iPods that came before (except for iPod touch) is a "media player," not a handheld computer. iPod touch is a computing device, with a real OS and apps; iPod nano is not. For most customers, "the whole point when buying a Nano," is NOT to use it for running. I use my 5th gen nano for running, but Apple did not design it just to be a run tracker. Like Apple Watch can be used as a health and fitness device, but Apple did not design it solely for that purpose.
However, I think my old nano does an excellent job, when used with the Nike+ sensor that goes on shoe (and the Nike web site to compile my data); the system is simple to use, reliable, and accurate. I've been using it for years. When Apple decides to drop iPod nano, I'm buying one before they are out of stock, so that I can keep using my current familiar run tracking system as long as possible (even after my 5th gen nano breaks).
can I add apps or icons to Ipod Nano 7th gen?
