TrekStor i.Beat blaxx 4GB

Advantages: Tiny
Disadvantages: Scared it will snap!

...I bought my first Nano a week ago and have had to take it back to the shop to change it already. For some reason I had problems getting it to turn on sometimes but the shop exchanged it for me and the new one seems to be fine. To being with, it really is a small as the adverts make out, if not smaller. When I first saw it I was shocked! The 4GB can hold approx 1000 songs and can also store photos but this obviously takes up memory so the more photos you have, the fewer songs you can store. Apparently the first batch of Nano's had problems with the screen cracking and people have said to be careful of forgeting its in your pocket and sitting down. This didn't surprise me as it is so thin but I have sat on it a number of times! Once for 40 mins in a lecture and it has been fine! It does more than just store music and photos though...

Advantages: Easy to use, long battery life
Disadvantages: Small capacity

...The first I want to say about this product is how long the battery lasts. I was playing around with this thing for a whole 2 days without the battery even going down under half. I later realised that the battery life was up to 45hours which is pretty incredible, considering it is longer than the Ipod touch. So 4GB may not seem to much to a lot of people, but for those who don't have a HUGE music collection, but want just enough to be able to store a few hundred tracks, this mp3 player has an ideal capacity. There is no easy sync like on Ipod but many find it easier to drag and drop songs that they want onto the mp3 rather than the problem that occurs when and Ipod can randomly start syncing with the wrong music! This product is very thin and lightweight as well so you will hardly notice it in your pocket. It also supports... Read review

Advantages: 4GB Good For 1000 Songs, Very Cheap, Realiable
Disadvantages: Only Music, No colour.

...The Ipod mini was one of the first Ipods, The 4GB version is able to hold 1000 songs and is non - colour but don't let that put you off. This IPod was designed to hold songs there are other little features such as games but it was for music this makes it ideal for you, if all you need is a reliable MP3 able to hold a large amount of music. Another bonus point of course is that the Ipod Mini's are now dated and so can be bought very cheap some can even be seen selling for around 10 pounds. Reliabilty is great on the Ipod Mini's I've had mine since it was released in 2004 and in the four years (nearly 5) nothing has gone wrong. So if your looking for a cheap, reliable, music player then the Ipod mini's for you.... Read review
