This newest shape of ipod nano from Apple is one of the best looking toys/gadgets on the market at the moment and with my uncle buying one I felt I had to review it to do this amazing product justice!.
Aesthetics This more modern instalment of the ipod nano is a vast improvement on the previous shape. The shiny chrome backing has gone to be replaced with a modern and cool body colour backing that fits in with the rest of this mp3, this means that it will not get as scratched as the chrome did which will help with the resale if ever wanted, as it would look more looked after. Although a vast improvement from before the ipod logo does get scratched and worn away and this is the same with my shuffle but nothing a case won't keep off. Rounded edges are added and half-round edges are gone and this makes the ipod sit more comfortably when holding in the palm of your hand. 5 ,shall I say Groovy colours are on offer and these are painted on using high tech equipment to give a almost rubbery matte finish to the outer high grade aluminium casing.
Tech This is the review for the 8GB so I will only talk about that size. 2,000 songs can be stored in its tiny outer casing taking almost full advantage of the 8 GB size or alternatively you could fill the ipod with 25,000 photos. These would be displayed on the new bright display that is an astonishing 40% brighter over the last ipod with a 1.5inch screen size, although this would inevitably drain the battery faster
The audio quality is the best I have heard from a similar sized ipod and this is also skip free so perfect for joggers as it contains a flash drive rather than a hard drive, pretty much all audio encoding songs can be played on the nano this helps as you don't have to convert each song. The nano's maximum volume can be controlled by the menu, but this seems pointless as it only puts a limit on the volume when all you have to do is turn the volume down… The headphones supplied are the newer in-ear style and these offer greater sound quality and better bass effects. These may not be to everyone's taste as they can be sometimes uncomfortable
The battery is take care of by a lithium-ion battery and when fully charged can have a playback music time of 24 hrs round about. 5hrs slideshow times are accounted for and this will use a whole battery
Finally itunes takes care of the software handling and could not be any easier to use when downloading songs or uploading them to your computer.
Conclusion This is a great mp3 player and well worth the money you pay for it. When your buying this you are not only buying a mp3 you are buying a slide show viewer and a cool fashion accessory … hope I told you enough!

I-P-O-D N-A-N-O Review ofApple iPod Nano 8GB Second Generationby
zikiman
Advantages: really great design, super sexy, battery life Disadvantages: like always, battery life, earphone, it gets broken quite easily
...can browse it through the apple website and this review is going to be a bit personal. My experience with Ipods? - crap~~~
I have to say that ipod is ok~, they are not that great to have. First ipod i had was ipod 3G and that ipod was ok until one day, the screen broke on me, so i got a repair from Apple since i was under the one year guarantee however, whenever i received it, it was already broken. So i sent it off again, and which then i received ... ...NB, Please get Ipods from Apple Website or Apple Shop! I know that Ebay is cheap and all, but half of ipods which are sold are not in guarantee or is not working properly. Also, the fun of buying it from the Apple Website is the engraving on the back. This does really make you ipod YOURS. When i received the product - I really liked the clear perspex box that came with it. i didn't want to take the Nano out of the box. but then i eventually did because ...

Advantages: Cute, holds heaps of songs Disadvantages: Scared to loose or break it!
...so I downloaded Itunes (the Apple music software for buying and playing music) off the web as instructed and set about copying all my CD's to the library.
I must say at this point I was a bit weary of Itunes, I've heard a few horror stories about people loosing their libraries and not being able to get stuff off it but, look I took the plunge and so far so good but I don't like the way it hijacks all your MP3's and makes them Apple files. The user ... ...it's expensive compared to non Apple MP3's. It costs about 150GBP or $380 Australia dollars to us down under. For that there are many other larger capacity devices around some of which also look quite tasty. Secondly, although it is undoubtedly quite a sexy looking contraption I keep feeling like I'm going to break it. I hate using a handbag, much preferring to put things in my pocket. The couple of times I've put this in my pocket I've felt like ...

...player outdoors. So when Apple launched the ipod i naturally shot out and bought one. Since then, I have been on the constant prowl for new portable MP3 players (when they hit the right price that is). My latest model is the snazzy 8GB Nano which I bought for £139 from Argos just after Christmas.
I was very surprised at just how small it actually was compared to any other MP3 player I have used which is great, as it makes it a lot easier to conceal ... ...which I thought was something Apple might have improved upon.
It has tiny white earplug style speakers which fit perfectly into your ears, they are quite comfortable and you can barely notice that you have them in most of the time. The Nano needs to be plugged into a computer and then you can start downloading music and pictures if you like via the Itunes program that comes as part of the system . This is very quick and easy to use so you can stock ...

Well what can i say about the ipod nano, it is one of the best mp3 players. It is of slim design, so no hassle to just slide in your pocket.
ABIT ABOUT THE NANO IPOD 8GB
The nano holds up to 2000 songs, which is easily transfered to your pc, using itunes. It really couldent be easier to use, it all explains itself. The only thing that i found was when i first got my ipod was, all the songs i had on my computer, were instantly added to my ipod. ... ...first start up i had to delete all the songs i did not want on my Ipod off itunes, which believe me took a long time at least 2 hours. Once you have done that then its all set to go and you just add more songs as you go along.
Also i find that the screen scratches pretty easily, and all your finger marks show up at the back of the ipod, as it is a silver metal. This does not clean off that easily, but to prevent that you can purchase a case. The ...

Apple iPod Nano 8GB Review ofApple iPod Nano 8GB Second Generationby
Velvetee
I wanted an Apple iPod from when they were first introduced several years ago, but back then, they were quite expensive, so I was pleased when I received one for my birthday in March.
My iPod Nano is the slimline black 8GB version. It has the capacity to store 2000 songs, which can be either downloaded from CD, via a computer or from the iTunes website, which is a huge music database, each song costing around 70 pence. The convenience of this, means ... ...to pick and choose from an album. I usually find I only ever like one or two songs on an album, so it can be a costly method.
The iPod nano comes with earphones, user guide booklet and USB cable connector, which allows the ipod to "sync" itself to the iTune "library" and also acts as a charger, taking power from the computer it is connected to.
I'm not the most adept user of gadgets and technology, but the iPod is fairly easy to master. It has ...
