The new range of Ipod's, (a second generation shuffle has also been released and the video should be updated in the new year) is in my opinion, a marketing ploy that will enforce Apple's 'name' and keep them relatively safe from any competition, at least for the next few months.

I love the way apple have designed the ipod nano. It is only 1.6 inches in width and 3.5 inches in height. The front is an elegant and sleek white colour and has a metal chrome backing. On the front of the ipod there is a 1.5 inch (diagonal) LCD screen with a LED backlight. It also has a touch-sensitive clickwheel. On the top there is a funky "hold" button and on the bottom there is a dock connector port and a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack.

Despite this, Apple make the only MP3 players which I've found which do everything I need. It doesn't have an inconvenient drag-and-drop interface (computers are supposed to automate, right, not force you to do the filing!). It supports podcasting better than any other player. And, if you install Linux, you can do some rather neat things with it. Buy one, get a cover, and you won't be disappointed. ...

Advantages: very tiny, ample sound quality Disadvantages: possibly a little too small, iTunes required for use, no AC adapter
I purchased an iPod Nano for my niece last Christmas, and I must admit that I am thinking of getting one for myself, as well.
At 2GB, this unit actually holds up to 400 mp3s at a quality of 128kbps or 192kbps (this number refers to the sample rate and the higher this number, the better the quality, but 128kbps is considered CD-quality and 320 is considered studio quality). The iPod Nano also holds pictures, but even though the screen is fairly good, ... ...Out of the really small box, this unit comes with the trademark white earbuds and a USB cable to connect to the pc.
First impression of the iPod itself is that it is really tiny, and the screen may give you the urge to grab your glasses (and do not resist that urge, believe me). The iPod must be charged via the included USB cable from your computer before it can be of any use. However, my immediate complaint is the lack of included software - my ...

All I am going to say is I brought mine 2 years ago for £140 and they cost around about the same today, I think it has been possibly the best investment I have ever had and I wouldn't consider even for a minute switching to a different sort of mp3 player. ...

I think that the iPod Nano is a great buy, especially in this gleaming sliver colour, which is not only simple, but looks great too! You should, as I said before, invest in a pair of headphones, as the original apple ones are prone to break within a short space of time.

After a tense few hours charging up I set up Itunes (reasonably hassle free and pretty simple to navigate) and imported a few of my CD's. The on screen instructions are pretty simple, and songs don't take too long to transfer from the computer to the Ipod. Within 10 minutes I was set, and thought I'd break the Ipod in on my way to college.
The first thing I noticed was how light it was, I could barely ... ...maybe even compressed movies, but Apple don't seem to want to give it all away in such a small cheap package.
The battery indicator (similar to a laptop power bar) goes from green to yellow to orange to red, to show how much power you have left, and it hasn't dropped dead unexpectedly like the MuVo was prone to doing. Overall i'm very impressed with my Nano, though I've heard many horror stories of people sitting on them, as long as you're careful ...

The dimensions for the ipod are 40.64 mm Width - 88.89 mm Length and 6.858 mm depth which is quite small and looks like it could be uncomfortably so sometimes.
You may well know the nano's have had a bit of a bad start with faulty screens etc and although I can touch mine I have used my friends.

Advantages: music playback is great and it holds 500 songs Disadvantages: battery seems to drain quicker as it gets older
I like listening to music on the go and have owned the first generation IPod Nano 2GB in black for over two years and have found it to be a brilliant piece of audio equipment that has taken away the need for a bulky stereo in my flat and lots of CDs in my car. I paid only £60 for my second hand Nano and I consider this to be something of a real steal, however the extras such as a protective jacket, docking station and cable for my car stereo really ... ...it really was worth it.
After installing the iTunes software onto my laptop I have been able to import 500 of my all time favourite songs and disco beats on my Nano. The process of uploading all of the songs did take a number of months as the software does take a while to read, copy and then transfer the data to the Nano but it is time worthing spending as once completed I had everything I wanted to listen to at my fingertips. In the same way tunes ...

The ipod nano/mini has come a long way since its conception all those years ago (probably about 2, but what feels like a lifetime in technology terms).

The choice of colours is a great addition, specially for the fashion conscious amongst us who must have matching accessories. The iPod 2gb is definately an ... ...good looking device.
The battery life, at 24 hours, is far less constricting than previous models and also the larger capacity video iPods, and regardless, after a 3 or 4 hour charge the iPod is back to full power again. Whilst the battery life of these is always being slagged off, i believe that 24 hours is more than ample, it'll easy last until you can get home to charge it again.
The size, to many, is a definate bonus. The iPod can be easily ...

Not only that, Toshiba's Gigabeat's #1 appeal is it's finger sensitive cross which not only works a dream, it looks brilliant too.
