Apple iPod Nano 5th Generation Review

Advantages: small form factor, long battery life, built in video camera and FM radio
Disadvantages: can't play music or videos without headphones

The Apple iPod Nano 5th gen is that much different from the 4th generation. The main features that are noticeable is obviously the video camera. Amazingly the Nano's form factor is exactly the same, if not smaller even with the camera. The video camera is only VGA, nothing special, though it comes in handy and it's only about £10 more than the previous model. The 5th Gen model also has a larger screen. I love the super clear curved glass display ...
...a larger 2.2 inch screen, it's just a bonus. Another great feature I love is the built in FM Radio. I find this feature very useful and convenient and I thought that this was the feature that the previous model lacked. The 5th Gen Nano has the same long battery life of 24 hours music playback and 5 hours video playback. So, if you have a 4th Gen Nano, I don't think that this new model is really essential, though if your looking to buy another Nano, ...

the new nano

Advantages: Excellent features, more than you would expect from a music player
Disadvantages: The minimum volume is too loud

Before getting the new ipod nano the only mp3 player I had before was the ipod shuffle. I never used to be a big music listener but I have found that I now listen to it more. It started to become very annoying not having a screen and so not being able to choose a song. I chose the new ipod nano because of it's good screen size, I wanted to be able to watch videos on it. Also, I didn't want to get anything with too big a capacity like the ipod touch ...
...have to say I am very happy with my choice. It has a good size screen and a good capacity whilst not being too big. The battery lasts for 24 hours when playing music and 5 hours when playing video. The nano also has a small speaker allowing you to play music without earphones. It doesn't play too loudly but enough to have music on whilst cleaning or tidying or exercising. It is actually quite loud when you consider the size of what the sound is coming ...

iPod Nano 8GB - Small, But Powerful

Advantages: Lightweight; battery life; no fingerprints/scratches; red nano gives money to charity!
Disadvantages: Fairly small storage capacity

...overwhelmed; but with companies like Apple out there, it's usually the iPods which flood the market. iPods are everywhere, and are hugely popular. There is a reason for that popularity: iPod's are the best music players available. They are priced reasonably, they look good, they have great sound quality...and the most important part being that they do their main job superbly: playing music. They're reliable players which won't let you down - and ...
...learned that by buying it Apple would make a donation from my purchase, I was even happier to go with that colour. The colours are particularly vibrant. I love how you can choose out of nine colours - it's much better than the black, silver and white which iPod's usually tend to be. However, I'm not complaining about owning black and white iPods - I see them as the 'classic' iPod colours, but nevertheless I was pleased to see Apple introducing so ...

Hit or Miss?

Advantages: Slim with good screen size
Disadvantages: Memory

...when I came across the apple website. I found the stunning second generation iPod Nano in red. At £129, with free postage (also free engraving is offered on the time of purchase) I did see this as a little bargain for such a good quality item and jumped at the chance of buying one. It arrived 3 working days later in a cute little case, and I'm still using it today! This svelte, red, mp3 player, certainly raised a few eyebrows and in the first few ...
...as far as I'm aware apple actually developed for their mp3 players, at the start was a little stiff but oversensitive. Leaving me with a different track or album than I originally planned to listen to. The noise that comes with the click wheel when you initially receive the iPod is incredibly annoying, but after a delve into the online handbook - as there isn't one included in the packaging - I figured out how to switch it off. ~The Menu~ On the ...
