Apple has released Software update version 1.1 for the sixth-generation iPod nano. According to Apple’s release notes, the new software gives users the ability to turn the device completely off when detached from a power source, instead of simply putting it to sleep, and also gives them the option of controlling music or radio playback using the Sleep/Wake button, eliminating the need for them to look at the device. More details on the changes in behavior between putting the device to sleep and turning it completely off can be found in the Apple Support document linked above. Software update version 1.1 for the sixth-generation iPod nano is available now via the Update feature in iTunes.
