Apple iPod Nano Product RED (3rd Generation)

Advantages: Supports a charity, great new OS, new interface, great quality, looks smart, very easy to use
Disadvantages: Apple iPod disadvantages, i.e. - no support for WMA, restrictive use of iTunes

...In September 2007, digital media-leader Apple released their 3rd generation iPod Nano. This latest version is a real upgrade from the previous Nano devices. Apple have taken all the features from the popular iPod video and shrunk them down into a smaller, more affordable package. The first thing you notice from previous generations of the Nano is that Apple have taken the classic and made it smaller. The device feels great to hold, being incredibly thin and light. This generation of Nanos plays back video, which can just about be viewed comfortably on the 2 inch screen. It also features Apple's latest operating system which has many improvements over the previous version, such as Cover Flow (where you can scroll through all your album art in a smooth, 3D transition), a slightly more accessible interface and a few extra re...

Ipod 3rd Generation Ipod Nano

Advantages: Good Storage, A Good All Rounder, Tougher Than Older Models.
Disadvantages: Bad Battery Life.

...The new Ipod 3rd generation nano is a new way to have everything an Ipod offers in a smaller, easier to manage form, this new Ipod covers: Music, videos, photos, podcasts and extras which include games, notes and alarms. In my opinion the 8GB storage space is the best option, it gives you the ability to hold your favorite few films whilst still being able to store all your music, the screen although not massive is reasonably large enough to be able to watch videos on and has good picture quality. The newer Ipod nano seems to be tougher that the older nano's, small drops are no longer a worry of broken screens or freezing. One thing I would note about the Ipod is its battery life, in my own experience it seems that it can suddenly drain very quickly, one in particular is in the car try not to leave your Ipod playing if it does...

iPod Nano, 3rd Generation Review

Advantages: Easy to use, generally good quality sound (see later), durable.
Disadvantages: Sound quality (see later), could be MORE reliable.

...Hi guys! If your after something small, light, easy to use and is great quality, this is the product for you. Rather than explain the good points to you (as that would take far too long as, generally, the standard is superb), I will list negative points: 1. A low fuzz can be heard in some songs, in some it's more prominent than others. It's on completely random songs i.e not just on downloads, songs off CDs, etc - it's a combination. However I've had this problem on no other ipods that I've used, including the same generation, so I put this down to being unlucky and getting a dud set of ear-pieces. 2. This happens very rarely, but sometimes it can be tricky to use the click wheel. 3. It, again - rarely, freezes/spontaneously resets. However this can be solved (though this need not be done when it automatically has reset...

ipod 3rd gen nano

Advantages: reliable sleek small easy to use good quality
Disadvantages: space on memory

...this ipod is really good. It comes with standard ipod earphones worth about £20 - £25. The ipods full memory is around 7.2 gb because of the space the actual ipod programme comes with. the ipod can play videos in mp4 format and these are usually very good quality. the ipod comes with a few quizzes in the games section and a block breaker game although my favourite game is the music quiz which collects info on the music in your ipod and quizzes you about them so this game i thought was very clever. the ipod plays both mp3 and wma files although every song must be uploaded onto itunes but dont worry you dont need to buy every song you can rip the music from cd's or upload them from your computer. Ihave had no problem with my ipod yet and ive had it for about 8 months ( date correct at 8th july 08)...

iPod Nano 3rd Gen

Advantages: Doubles as a mirror, good sound quality, nice appearance
Disadvantages: Easily scratched, prone to crashing

...You just have to love the iPod nano. Yes, so maybe there are a few tiny issues with it, but when you look at it and consider the cute, chic design of the thing- how can you not fall in love with it? I hate to be anywhere without my music, and the nano is the perfect way to carry my music with me. Small enough to fit in my pocket, with more than enough memory to store all my songs on it, and excellent sound quality, the iPod nano 3rd gen is a must-have. I also love the fact that it stores videos and photos, almost like carrying a mini-version of my computer around with me. The design is also exceptionally well thought-out - the back of the nano doubles as a mirror, and the matte finish on the front of the nano gives it a high-quality, classy appearance. There are a few bad points though- - The mirror back of the nano is...

Have some fun in your life with the iPod Nano 3rd generation

Advantages: Music, video, pictures, nice and small
Disadvantages: Screen is kinda small for videos and earphones break

...off even if your iPod is switched off you can make it play your own music, then you have some built in games to play on the go, notes, screen lock and a stop watch for the sporty type. Its 8GB, so you can have 1000 songs, 4 hours of video and 3500 pictures. I have put a few videos on this and since the screen is small it sort of goes a little blurry, but not too much that you can't see the video. It comes in Silver, Black, Red, Green and Light Blue. You move around the wheel (the circle) to ajust the sound and move up and down the menu or artists. Even if your sound is down at the lowest you can still here well aslong as youve not made it completely silent. Sadly the headphones broke quickly, and so did my sisters and most peoples. They cost alot to get new ones, so if yours break just buy regular earphones they work just as good. You...

iPod Nano 3rd Gen 8GB - One of the Best!

Advantages: Made well, holds 2000 songs, plays videos,images and games, itunes software is excellent
Disadvantages: DRM locked music, 79p a song is expensive

...iPod Nano 3rd Generation 8GB - So much joy from something so small iPods are the latest fashion for those wanting quick and easy access to music of their choice at affordable prices. Since the first iPod from Apple came out people having been fixated on them. I remember the days of the portable disc player, hauling a massive disc player which couldn't fit in your pocket, and that's before you have to carry the discs round which had a habit of getting damaged, especially when on the move. Now that the iPod has come along it makes all the problems of the disc player like size and portability thing of the past. With the ability to hold thousands of songs, videos, games, images and other applications on such a small device it is extremely appealing to all. The Nano has 8GB of memory which is enough for about 2000 songs which is good...

Apple ipod nano

Advantages: Looks awsome
Disadvantages: scratches easily

...This little mp3 player has made me so happy having owning it for the past few weeks. By far the most practical and usable mp3 player i have ever used/owned. There is only one downside in my opinion(which can be avoided easily) this is the fact that ipods in general tend to be very easy to scratch, and having owned a few ipods i now they dont look very nice with scratches all over them. However after buying myself a cover for it the problems flew away. This ipod has allowed me to listen to far more music than i could wish for it has great quality in all areas and a nice sleek style and very easy to use. Sound quality is also outsstanding! Over a top mp3 and i would definately buy another. Reccommended buy!...

apple ipod nano

Advantages: excellent features
Disadvantages: price

...When you fork out lots of money to get a tiny clear plastic box with a tiny square gadget you do freak out a bit? "all that money only for this??". We are in an era where things get smaller and smaller, as an example you might have also seen advertised on TV the new Apple laptop? in a way small things can be a bonus, they save space, are easy to carry? but when is small just too small?? It might be just me but although I do like this ipod I feel it is just too tiny to lose, too fragile to handle? first thing I did when I bought it was to get a silicon case to protect it! As mentioned the packaging is very small, just bigger than a packet of cigarettes of 20. you get your Ipod, your earphones in white and a white USB port cable to connect it to your laptop, charge it and download your songs.. You also get a tiny piece of paper...
