    Are you ready for some excitement this fine morning? Apple has something special for you if you recently purchased a 6th gen Nano. What is it? I won’t tell until you click through!

    Aw, heck, I’ll just tell you.

    With iPod software update version 1.1 for iPod nano (6th generation), you will be able to:

    Completely turn off the iPod, rather than just put the device to sleep.
    Control music or radio playback using the Sleep/Wake button without having to look at the device.

    COMPLETELY TURN OFF THE iPOD! WITH A BUTTON! But there’s more!

    YOU CAN CONTROL MUSIC OR RADIO PLAYBACK WITH THE SLEEP/WAKE BUTTON! OMGBBQ!

    Sure, you can’t install apps on the Nano or improve the clock so it works more like a wristwatch, but the 1.1 update adds more button controls. Today the Apple Update Overlords have been gracious to us, friends, and we must bow our heads in obsequience.
