Ipod Nano Review

Advantages: Video play-back capabilities, Cover flow
Disadvantages: Itunes required

...Apple's Ipod Nano 3g 8gb is a sleek piece of tech. Fits perfectly into your palm and although is now not the newest, to me is still the nicest shaped out of the nano's. 8 gb is enough for most peoples library and quite a few average sized videos. The Album art feature works beautifully, the scroll wheel has all the normal uses as in previous nano models. This nano also comes with 3 free games, Klondike, a solitaire-like game, Vortex, a arcade game where you rebound the ball against blocks, and the impressive iquiz which tests your knowledge on your own music. You also have the feature of adding .txt files as notes. Photo's and podcasts are also viewable. Having dropped it many times,I can say the nano is very robust ! The only cons are as in all models, the inability to delete files on the nano, the occasional freezing, the lack...

Review of Apple iPod Nano video 8GB Third Generation

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...

Apple ipod nano

Advantages: Stylish, good quality for sound and pictures
Disadvantages: The click wheel is a bit fiddly and takes some getting used to.

...I bought this product for my husband's birthday. The packaging is very sleek, not easy to remove product though without feeling that you're going to snap something. The small control wheel is a bit fiddly and on first use he accidentally set the language to Chinese. The manuals on the website are good, it only took 2 hours to find out how to get back to English, which incidentally is american english. The capacity of these little things are amazing, sound and pictures are excellent and the ipod itself looks good. Good value for money, I thought its range of features is incredible, and the whole look of it is very good. Not too impressed with the earphones but other than that, a good buy for a present....

Ipod Nano

Advantages: Great sound, Looks great
Disadvantages: Rather costly for the small amount of space

...Looks This Ipod is very stylish, I love the baby blue colour of it. Its small and sleek which can only be a good thing. The stainless steel back also adds to the looks but unfortunately it does scratch easily so care must be taken not to scratch it. Just like a lot of ipods, it has the scroll wheel which is unique to the Ipod and just adds to the looks. The display is much better than the older ipod nano with it being bigger and brighter which is useful when outside in the sun, however it can still be much brighter as it's still a little difficult to see in the sun. The software on the ipod is as good looking as usual whilst being basic and easy to use. Ease of use As i've already said, the software is really easy to use and its really easy to find what you need. The scroll wheel is easy to use and th buttons are...

Ipod Nano 3G Black 8GB

Advantages: Bright Screen, Many Features, Great Battery Life
Disadvantages: None

...After a bike accident in which smashed my old ipod nano 1G and after 3 days in hospital without it to listen to i bought a IPOD NANO 3G Black 8GB, it i great the sound quality is good with new headphones however the ipod earphones are not great and it has a equalizer to match the sort of music you play, and the amount to choose from is huge, the screen is incredibley bright and clear and can be adjusted and when playing video the quality was way better than my digital TV. 8GB is plenty of room for movies and music as the videos are compressed for ipod compatibility. The itunes software does not allow you to do this however free programs are available that do. The ipod it very easy to use and some really cool games which make use of the good screen as well as other features like alarm clock, power off timer, contacts, notes, stopwatch...

Ipod Nano

Advantages: Small, lots of memory, great battery life
Disadvantages: Long winded online instruction book

...I've never owned an MP3 player before, in fact, I've been dreading buying one for a good few years because I thought they'd be so complicated to use. A few weeks ago, I finally decided I'd get with the times and buy one. Not having a clue about MP3 players, I took the store assistants advice and bought this. It's got 16GB of memory and can hold up to 4000 songs, at the moment I've got about 35 albums on it and I haven't even used one thenth of it's memory. It's so easy to download and transfer from my own CD collection it's unbelieveable. You simply put your CD into your computer, it'll ask if you want to "import this CD to itunes" - click "yes" and it does it. Connect you Ipod to your computer and it'll automatically "synchronize" with the computer and transfer your albums. It really is that simple. You have to register your...

Review of Apple iPod Nano 16 GB 4th Generation

iPod Nano

Advantages: Great video and audio quality
Disadvantages: Very expensive for what it is

...iPods have had mixed reviews in the past, they were put down because of their inferior battery life, the fact that they always seem to break just when the warranty has gone out of date, and the fact that they have always been quite expensive. For the most part i tended to agree with this, i have known many people who owned the first generation iPods and were very dissapointed with them. However all this changed when i recieved my own iPod nano last christmas. On the whole i have been very impressed with it, they are very easy to use. The main controls being the click wheel at the centre, and it has a very clear screes which is perfect for watching things on while on the go. I recently made a trip to Edinburgh from Liverpool by train taking 5 hours in total, without my iPod nano it would have been an nightmare, i watched 2 movies...

The Sexy New Ipod Nano

Advantages: It's gorgeous, great quality, easy to use
Disadvantages: Screen is a little small for video playback

...I am one of those people that never seems to upgrade anything unless I have a really good reason to. The old product works fine, so why should I buy the newer shinier one? Well, the gorgeous pink ipod nano has finally persuaded me to give up my five year old classic. And I'm already completely in love with it. This is a gorgeous piece of electronics. All of the colours are really nice, they're bright choices but not obnoxiously bright like some of the previous ones have been. In particular the pink of this one is truly gorgeous. The back is back to the days of the ancient classic, very shiny and therefore very easy to scratch! Overall the Nano is roughly the size of your palm and with the width of around two 10p coins. When you see it in person, it's a lot tinier than pictures of it would lead you to believe, and it truly is...

Ipod Nano 3g

Advantages: stylish, quirky, sexy, slim, good music, sustainible
Disadvantages: in contact with water, completely freezes, doesn't work with some computers

...I have this ipod and i think it's really amazing, I love it and upload all my videos from the computer onto it. Its brilliant because I can show all my mates my favourite videos of me mucking around or videos downloaded from the internet. It's easy to use, but sometimes it stalls in which case you press the centre button and menu at the same time for about 10 seconds, the screen flashes and it resets, but not the music! I would thoroughly recommend buying this ipod, it's cheap good to use and very stlish, alot better than the thick ipod classic which is very chunky and a total waste of money! Enjoy this ipod, and good luck with using it and uploading videos, and i hope you get loads and loads of games on it as it is the perfect module for games! good luck!...
