iPod nano - The Home screen

The Home screen

When you turn on iPod nano, you see the Home screen.

Each icon on the Home screen represents choices for listening to music or podcasts, or for using
features like recording voice memos or viewing photos. Tap an icon to open it, then use gestures
to navigate (see “Using Multi-Touch” on page 10).
