Product Description

Take everything you love about iPod and shrink it. Now shrink it again. With 2GB (500 songs) and 4GB (1,000 songs) models , the pencil-thin iPod nano packs the entire iPod experience into an impossibly small design. So small, it will take your music places you never dreamed of.

Summary

One of this year's most popular presents was without a doubt Apple's sexy ipod Nano. It single-handedly redefined the mp3 player market at a time when all signs indicated a decline in demand. Defying the odds, the Nano sold out in many places and clearly...

Weakness

battery not replaceable, pricing, display scratches easily, music cannot be downloaded from iPod

Bottom Line

Is it sexy, hip, cool, sturdy, fragile or powerful? All of the above!

Summary

Call me a Luddite if you will (okay, okay, stop now) but I never really ‘got’ the Sony Walkman thing. I really love music of every variety (except, of course, country and western), and thoroughly enjoy listening to a very good audio system, so listening...

Strength

Tiny, light, gorgeous, great sound. iPod therefore I am.

Weakness

Capacity, poor photo functionality, headphone socket placement, no firewire or remote.

Bottom Line

Gorgeous, superb device, but not yet perfect, Still, it's the iPod killer that none of Apple’s competitors have managed to build. If you can afford it, buy one.

Summary

Well, I had always thought about getting "up to date" with technology by getting an iPod, but I really didn't all the memory the 20 GB color iPod could give you. Then I turned to the mini 6 GB, but, for 50 bucks more, you got all that storage and the...

Strength

SIZE! color screen, same click wheel interface, everything else...

Weakness

Scratches way too easily, accessories aren't available until October 1st 2005.

Bottom Line

Recommended. Big sound, small ( and I mean small) package. Although I put 'Music Lovers'... athletes will love this player. It's easy enough for tech newbies, too.

Strength

Small, stylish, color screen, durable internals, interface, software

Weakness

pricey, screen too small, scratches easily

Bottom Line

iPod is always a good choice. The 30 GB is better value, but if small floats your boat, this is the one for you.

Strength

Super small, great color screen, great sound, inexpensive

Weakness

The back is a finger print magnet!

Apple's iPod nano is a super small MP3 player with all the features you could ever want!

Summary

It does not take long for this tiny guy to become your best friend. It is tiny, weighs nothing - it can actually dangle from the provided headset jack without crashing to the floor. This is all solid state, so should there ever be a fall, the...

Fully-functioned, take everywhere iPod

Weakness

None

Bottom Line

Hard to believe, so much for so tiny. I didn't know I missed having this Pod until I owned one. Would make a fantastic gift.
