6th generation iPod nano - not that useless after all

One of the worst Apple products I have bought was the 6th generation iPod nano. It plays music alright, but the only way to stop the music was to unhook it from my shirt, activate the screen and then tap to stop/pause.

To my big surprise, Apple has now released a software update that makes my nano usable. After that update, I can pause the nano without looking at it, by just double pressing the sleep button. It is not that intuitive, but it works fine. And it took Apple just about half a year after the nano was released to make it usable.
