Avis sur le produitLecteur MP3 Apple iPod Nano 3G 8 Go - 3ème génération

Great little music machine!

This Ipod holds 500 songs. The sound quality is exceptional. The size of this product is great for easy carrying and ease of use. It needed to be cleaned; especially the headphone jack plug. A little rubbing alcohol and a Q tip was all that was needed for this to sound brand new again!Lire l'avis complet...

Great buy for compact type lovers.

The Ipod Nano 3rd Generation was a first a gift given to me some years ago. It had the simple features that I wanted, but also added a few more just for fun.
Aside from the good way of handling a music library, the 3rd generation nano has a video library and even has games along with it. The added fun I mentioned before was the videos and games.
The only downfall was being able to use the contacts list, and the notes.
While adding contacts can be easy to do with the right programs on your computer, I was never quite able to figure out how to add notes.
I would definitely buy another 3rd Generation Nano because it offers a screen to view all these features, but still manages to be small enough as to not be bothersome.Lire l'avis complet...

Ipod Nano 3rd Gen vs 5th Gen-Why did I go back?

If you want to skip the entire review, here it is in a nutshell:
3rd Gen Nano vs 5th Gen Nano.
Pro:
Easier to hold.
Better battery life, especially if left unused.
Backlight will go MUCH lower-great if you like using at night(nice to the eyes!)
Screen orientation is much more natural for videos and especially games-no sideways turning to view.
Cheaper to buy now, even NIB as I did.
Con:
Only 8GB vs 16 avail in newer models.
No speaker
No Radio
No Video
Smaller screen
Fewer (and duller) Colors to choose from.
Not as "cool" according to my nephew!

I've never liked the big HD ipods much so when the 3rd Gen iPod Nano came out in 2007, I quickly
bought an 8GB version. Finally, I had video in a small, lightweight package! We all know the various
features so I'll skip all that. Cut to 2009 and the new Nano has a video camera, speaker & radio
in addition to all the features my old 3rd Gen has. I bought a nice shiny red 16GB Nano and gave
my nano to a friend's kid. Big mistake: Although the new Nano is a big step forward, it also was
(for Me) a step back. My first complaint is the horrible battery life, even after a full charge, just
15-20 minutes of music or less of games and the battery meter shows 80%. Even worse is the
discharge rate when turned off, In as little as 2 weeks it would be completely dead. My old one
had no such problems. The same thing happened with an exchanged unit I got from Apple.
The other issue I had was the backlight: I like to sometimes listen to music in bed & I found
that the back light is very limited in brightness vs the older ones. The 5th Gen remains very
bright and does not dim low far enough. A bit annoying to have the bright display blasting
your eyes after being in the dark for a while. Again, these are my issues your milage may vary.
Personally, I did not use the radio & video is neat but not indoors so those features were not
missed a whole lot. In the end, I sold my 5th gen here on eBay & later found a NIB 8 GB 3rd gen
Nano. I don't miss the extra space because I don't have videos on it.
Since I find the wheel much easier to control without always needing to see the display, I continue
to use the Nano even though I also have a 64GB touch. Also, this is why I do not miss some missing
features-my touch has a speaker & radio apps.Lire l'avis complet...

I'm not an Apple lover, but this is a grat player

I hate using i-Tunes and I personally do not own an i-Pod of any sort. With that said, I really really like this version Nano.

I was one of the suckers who bought this thing brand spanking new from the i-Pod Store when it first came out. My wife had mentioned how she wished she had one during one of those corny commercials during the launch. So for Christmas, I went out and paid $199 for it.

Value: Would I pay that much now? No Way! However, what did I expect with something that just came out, plus it wasn't for me anyway, it was a gift for my wife and I didn't hold back. With what they are going for now on e-Bay, I wouldn't mind having one for myself.

Features: I have a plethora of players that have as good resolution but with additional FM radio, dual headphone jacks, micro SD or SD expansion slots, blue-tooth, line-in, FM radio or microphone recording. Even some that will play the H264 codec. But even with the extra features many players have, the Nano has one glaring feature that I love very much; the ability to play nearly any size video. This means that I don't have to crunch down a video to specific dimensions in order to be playable like most portable players, thus giving me the flexibility to play the same video on a standard size computer screen or TV without quality loss. I thought this feature wasn't that important until I found myself wasting lots of time encoding batches of movies in WMV/AVI to find it will not play in most of my players. I have to be mindful of the resolution and size when I encode videos, but you don't have that worry with i-Pod. You can make it as small or as large as you want.

You also cannot beat the size of the Nano. It's not just small, but thin and well constructed with that metal backing. It has what most players do not, rigidity. It's more sturdy than many players twice as thick.

I-Tunes keeps me from being an i-Pod owner, but if I do happen to end up with one, I would get this version Nano.Lire l'avis complet...

Better features, better device.

This is ipod nano that i bought is very nice. I bought it because I lost my ipod shuffle and so i decided to upgrade to the ipod nano because it had a screen an I can watch movies and music videos. Scince i had it its been in very good condition and i realy like all of the features it has. But I had problems scrolling with it. If you own a ipod its possible that you would have an idea of what I am writing about. Maybe its somthing that i have to get used to, and also i dont like that the back of it scratches very easaly. But other that that its great.Lire l'avis complet...

Not the best media player on the market

I bought this as second media player. This is best looking player on the market and size and feel is excellent.
Things that I don't like about it:
1. You have to use Itunes
2. Hard to get media from more than one computer ( I use 3 )
3. Need extra accessories to transfer flies from camera,phone...etc. directly to Ipod
4. limited number of supported file type ( you have to convert files so you can use them on ipod )
5. Very easy to scratch
6. Memory is not expandable
My choice is Cowon D2. This is memory expandable media player with touch screen and 52 hours of battery life. This is media power house that will do everything that Ipod is missing and more. Only bad thing that I can think of is that it's hard to read the screen in the bright light.Lire l'avis complet...

Works great, sounds great

This is my second iPod. My first one was bought new when it was a 2nd generation. It's still going strong but only 4 GBs. I wanted something similar and this one is perfect. Too bad about the backlight but I can still see what i need to see when i need to see it. And honestly, looking at the screen isn't something i do often with my iPods.Lire l'avis complet...

Pleasingly full featured considering its age

This is the second iPod Nano Video that I've owned and it doesn't disappoint. Picture is as crisp as a good TV. Sound is uncompromising. Controls are intuitive and easy to navigate and use. Perhaps particularly good as a gift for a young person easing into high technology. But great for this adult too. Pure simplicity. Requires iTunes installed on your computer and a cable from USB to 30-pin connector.Lire l'avis complet...

iPod nano Third Gen. is PERFECT

Pros:
The third generation of iPods, as we all know, is up to par in means of size, sleekness, and quality. If you are a huge gym rat or love to listen to music while doing physical activities, this size iPod is perfect.

The battery life on this bad boy is honestly great, although I keep mine on a charger every night so I keep it pretty charged.

Cons:
The screen is so small that watching videos is virtually pointless. You won't be able to see much in the video, and probably strain your eyes.

I would suggest buying a different brand of earphones because the apple earphones are okay at first but they do have a reputation for breaking fairly easy. Go and buy some headphones that can handle some bass.Lire l'avis complet...

Decent MP3 Player

I got a pink 3rd generation Nano from a yard sale, primarily because I needed something older to listen to music to when I'm working around the house, that way if I broke it while working, no great loss because it's kinda outdated anyway. Battery life could have been better.

As far as music is concerned, it's okay. They put the album art up in the corner in the now playing section, so it's really hard to see it. Other than that, it works just fine. Please keep in mind, though, EarPods with a remote and mic DO NOT work as far as the buttons and microphone on this device. That feature didn't come out until around 2010 or so.

I really wish this one came with a radio. Yes, I know Apple was just getting started when they made the 3rd generation, but I use FM radio for quite a few things. Let me repeat, Apple did NOT put a FM radio in this generation. It was a little disappointing to find that out for the first time.

I've never put videos or pictures on it, but they would be awfully small if I did, so I decided not to bother. I wouldn't recommend it because the screen is not very big at all.

My 3rd Gen Nano also has a couple of dents on the metal back from the time I dropped it and ran over it accidently with my go-kart. As far as durability goes, it's not too bad. The dents are permanent, though. It still works fine, but there are a few dead pixels on my screen, possibly unrelated to the incident.

Overall, if I get another one, I'd rather it be newer, though the one I have works just fine for now. Maybe the 4th or 5th generation at the very least. This is not a bad iPod, but it's very lacking in many features, so it's very basic.Lire l'avis complet...
