Apple iPOD NANO 8GB Black

Advantages: Easy to use, good sound quality, looks, size
Disadvantages: Internal amp, gets marked and scratched easily, lack of charger included, needs USB 2.0

...Sound quality You will never get the sound quality from and MP3 player that you would from a standard stereo and the internal amp does limit the volume and sound quality even when hooked up to an external hifi or upgraded headphones. This considered the sound is warm an more than accepable for a device of this type. Ease of use As with all Ipods this can be used simply and easily by users of any level. The menus are simple to navigate and clear. In my experience the Nano's functionality is second to none. Getting data onto the Nano is resonably straight forward but you do need to download itunes from apple.com/uk before you can start putting songs onto the device. PC's without USB 2.0 (such as mine)will take much longer for songs to be transfered. Features On top of being able to store songs you can also store videos...

Review of Apple iPod Nano video 8GB Third Generation

Apple iPod Nano 8GB (£99-£129 : July 08)

Advantages: Nice menu system, good sound quality & EQ
Disadvantages: Overpriced, no card slot, no radio, earphones, itunes

...important aspect of any mp3 player though is it's sound quality and if you can keep the earphones in this is indeed very good. I ported one of my own tracks to the device and could not hear a distinguishable difference between the original source and the mp3 version on the Apple. So with all this going for it why should you avoid buying one? Well lets start with the price. £130 for an 8GB player does seem a bit high even if it has got video playback. Considering Sumvision produce a 4GB device which can be found online for about £25 you really have to question if this iPod is really good value. Then there's the proprietry software with it's niggly DRM to protect the rights of the 'Arteestes' which means it's easy to get content from your PC to your iPod but not so easy to transfer it from Ipod to PC. Thankfully the latest version of winamp...

iPod Nano 8Gb - 4th Gen

Advantages: Looks, Quality, features
Disadvantages: None

...Got my first iPod for my Christmas, to replace my old MP3 player and I couldn't have been happier. After getting used to the initial fidgety, circling my finger round the buttons to navigate the menus I was having great fun playing music, games and videos. The 4G nano is different from the 2G in a few ways. Firstly the screen is quite a bit bigger. This makes it better to play games on, the maze game is particularly good. It is also motion sensitive so playing games is alot more fun. Guiding a small ball around a maze collecting things, while tilting the iPod in all different directions is fun. The motion sensitivity also means when looking through your music albums, when you tilt the Ipod on to its side, the screen flips around and allows you to have a better look at your album covers. Adding to the motion sensitivity is...

Apple iPod Nano 8GB Black

Advantages: Easy To Use And Lots Of New Features
Disadvantages: None

...Apple iPod Nano 8GB Black I personally love the new design of the Apple iPod Nano. They are very reliable and easy to use. The battery life is great and the video quality is outstanding. The graphics are excellent all round including the video playback. I have dropped my iPod so many times that I have lost count. They are very durable which is great if you are clumsy. With 8 GB of memory you can store about 2,000 songs or 8 hours of video or 7,000 photos, which you can browse whenever you want. The battery life on the iPod is also great. With one charge you can watch about 5 hours of video playback or 24 hours of audio playback. I paid about £130 for my iPod and it was worth every penny. There are so many features to the iPod Nano. The latest feature to the iPod Nano is the Video playback feature. You can watch all of the latest TV...

Apple Ipod Touch 8Gb

Advantages: Slim, modern, eye catching, capable. Market leading
Disadvantages: Cost, limited memory for video.

...I have owned this since before Christmas 2008. The packaging was minimal and the design of the Apple Ipod touch 8Gb is breathtaking. Beautiful. The docking is identical to previous generations of Ipod so can be used with any of your previous connectivity and charging docking solutions. The great gui and human interface via the touch screen is innovative and market leading. However, finding your way about and updating via the Apple site takes a few moments to get your head around. Just take your time and enjoy the experience. There are speakers in the case so for occasional use you can listen without earphones. There is a mini jack for connection to systems that do not support the Ipod dock. Aftermarket accessories are available for this like cases and skins. I would recommend this to anyone. With Wi-Fi you can...

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...

8gb iPod Nano

Advantages: Small and light, good sound and video quality.
Disadvantages: Quiet alarm and perhaps too thin

...This is the second iPod ive owned - I broke the last one, and it was my fault. So I've bought this newer version and I have to say it is brilliant. It is amazingly small and light for what it does - just 6.5mm thick, making it very easy to carry around without it becoming a nuisance. It also makes it easy to fit in your pocket without it looking ridiculous bulging out like the first mp3 players did. However, it is so thin there could possibly be a risk of it snapping easily if it was put under any kind of strain - if it got accidentally stood on or something. This hasnt happened to me, but it is something you have to be wary of. Aparently you can fit 2000 songs on an 8gb ipod, but I dont have this much on mine yet so I couldnt say. Ive got around 650 songs taking up about 2.5gb, so this figure should be about right. However, if...

8GB iPod Nano (4th Gen) : Good Things Come In Small Packages

Advantages: Small, Affordable, Incredible Quality
Disadvantages: Some of the color choices are only suitable for the vision impaired

...While Apple didn’t actually invent the MP3 market, they certainly have played a key role in shaping it as it has evolved. One example of this is the ever-changing Nano, now in 9 nano-chromoatic color schemes coating a body that more closely resembles the 2nd generation Nano than the 3rd. 8GB may seem like a fairly paltry storage capacity, especially with the classic iPod now shipping with 120GB of storage, but I still haven’t filled mine up. I’m an avid fan of LOST, 24, and numerous musicians and typically use my iPod Nano to watch or listen to whatever I download off of iTunes. I can report that the video quality is excellent, especially for such a small device. I do wish that iTunes would convert my episodes of LOST and 24 to formats that didn’t have the occasionally hiccups on my 4th generation iPod Nano but that’s my only...

iPod Nano 8 GB Green

Advantages: High Quality Video Playback
Disadvantages: None So Far

...iPod Nano 8 GB Green Apple is one of the most well known companies in the world and they are mostly known for their computers and iPods. I have never met someone who hasn't heard of the company Apple. The iPod Nano is the best model of iPods released so far.
