This was unexpected, the new fifth generation iPod Nano doesn’t take still photo’s and the camera is in the most awkward position that you can imagine.

My daughter has just turned 8 and she’s a very lucky girl to get a spanking new iPod Nano in blue, no other colour would do, it had to be blue – like mother like daughter. Emelia is over the moon with her new toy but I spent a good while trying to work out how to take photo’s and have now discovered it can’t.

Being fair, Apple doesn’t say that it *does* take stills but it seems so *obvious* that it would. After all it has a *camera* and a *photo library* – duh? Given that the Nano’s have such a small amount of memory, much of which would be taken up by songs, I would have thought that taking photo’s would be more common than memory hugging videos.

I’m hoping that this can easily be fixed in software and will make it into a software update – please Apple!
