You've gotta hold it to believe it!
I've had a chance to play around with this for a few days now, and while I am a huge fan of the iPod Nano, it will not be replacing my 20GB iPod Photo anytime soon. It's Apple's own fault, really; they gave me 20GB (or 40, or 60) of space first, and now they want to take 90% of it away? Don't think so. I've come to believe what Apple's been telling me for a few years now: I NEED to take my entire music collection around with me everywhere I go. It's as essential as my cell phone and Metro Card. So for the storage reason alone, I can't chuck my 20GB model just yet. But the Nano really is a cool machine, and I imagine it will overtake the higher capacity iPods in popularity shortly because of its size, price, and cool factor.
Here's what I consider the improvements to be:
1. First and foremost, the transition to flash memory. This enables the Nano to be smaller and operate quieter than iPods that are hard drive-based. Make no mistake, flash memory is the future of digital music players;
2. The size, duh. Apple has made the Nano smaller without compromising much of the bright colorful screen. As we all now by now, it is thinner than a number two pencil (my 20GB iPod Photo, on the other hand, is probably three pencils thick). But it's still too large and delicate to jog with, without an optional accessory or two (arm band, lanyard headphones); and
3. The Apple-brand accessories that have been released concurrently with the Nano are affordable and well-designed.
...And what's not-so-great:
1. The price drop isn't that substantial, especially for what you get. For an extra $100, you can upgrade to a Photo that has ten times the capacity; and
2. The headphone jack is on the bottom of the Nano. I'm not sure what the logic behind this is-it seems like making a change for the sake of making a change to me.
Some wonderful things about the color iPods in general: they're very easy to use; their demure size could hardly be improved upon; the color screen is beyond adequate for viewing photos and album art; the battery life is exceptional; making playlists and controlling iTunes are simple tasks; all are compatible with Mac or Windows; and if you use a Mac, you can sync your iPod with your address book, to do list, and calendar (this has come in handy for me a number of times when I'm traveling). Also, if you're a college student or an educator at any level, the Apple Store (both the b&m and online versions) gives discounts on just about everything. For iPods it's about $20, but for computers it's up to $300
The bottom line on the Nano: it's a great entry-level MP3 player that will probably suffice for most listeners. However, if you're a music warrior who listens for many hours a day, many days a week, then 2-4GB is just too small to suit you--but of course you've had an iPod for three years now, and you already knew that.Lire l'avis complet...
Apple iPod nano A Great MP3 Player
About a year ago I became interested in purchasing an MP3 Player. I shopped around trying out all the available brands at the time. My conclusion then and to this day is that Apple makes an MP3 Player that beats the rest in every aspect.
Why is it so good?
Ease of use. The learning curve on my Nano was 5 minutes. It is so easy to operate it's amazing. I've played with others that were just overly complex, yet did the same things as the Ipod.
Quality. From my year of ownership I'd have to say that the Nano is a very well built piece of electronics. I've had no problems to date despite heavy use and the occasional accident. The battery still holds a good charge after hundreds of recharges.
Accessaries! All you have to do is type "Ipod" in the ebay search engine and you will see that there are TONS of stuff you can buy to complement your Ipod. I've seen that it can be a real hassle to find aftermarket stuff for other brands. This allows you to really personalize your Ipod and make it fit any application you need it for. Example, I just purchased a 2007 Honda Fit. For a little extra the dealer installed the Honda Music Link. This allows me to plug my Ipod into the car's sterio and search through my song using voice prompts!
Conclusion: The only downside I see is in the difference in price. It is possible to purchase most other brands at a lower price. But you are definitely getting more for your money when you buy the Ipod for 50 bucks or so more.
Hope this helps!

NANO SUPPORT SOFTWARE NOT ALL ITS CRACKED UP TO BE...
Ok- let me just say right off the bat that I LOVE MY NANO. I bought my husband one and he loves it too and I can confidently say this after having to have my Nano serviced not once, but TWICE since I originally purchased it just 14 months ago. After I tell you why I love my Nano- I'll tell you why I hate the software (i-tunes in particular):
+The design is beautiful- it is modern, minimalistic and beautiful to handle and it looks great without a case.
-The navigation wheel gets "sticky" when you put certain kinds of cases on it. You HAVE TO put a case on it or it gets scratched, dinged, worn and broken.
+The sound volume is good- I like my music loud and I'm able to turn it up without distortion or cutting in and out. The headphones it comes with suck. If you buy a pair of good ones, listening becomes much more satisfying.
-The equalizer is not the greatest. I wasn't able to tweak it as much as I'd like to with certain types of music.
-The original battery was defective and I had to send it in for servicing RIGHT after getting it (NOT something you want to have to do nearly right after opening it). On the up side, however, Apple provided shipping and packaging both ways, and the repair was at no charge.
+Once battery was replaced, the battery life improved greatly... I get a good 5 hours out of a charge now and that is MUCH better than before.
REGARDING iTUNES SOFTWARE:
The iTunes software lets you organize and program your playlists and any music you want to listen to regularly and iTunes downloads usually come with album/performer images. iTunes software appears to be fairly easy to use at first glance and it is concisely organized, HOWEVER: after messing with iTunes software on a regular basis (I have a lot of music and like to change my playlists and manage my music often), I realized it wasn't going to work for me. My theory is that if you've PAID for your music, you should be able to burn copies of it for PERSONAL use! A couple of good programs are VPod, EPHpod or TuneByte. With programs like these installed, you can rip personal MP3s to your NANO and burn them back to discs for personal use HASSLE FREE. Alternate programs usually allow for greater control over image downloads, as well. Ultimately, iTunes software is prettily packaged, but lacks the good programming (perhaps purposefully) to allow the consumer to tailor how he/she uses it.
Finally-
Apple makes a pretty penny on a pretty little piece of electronic flash drive engineering in the Nano- it DID cost the company good money to develop it- BUT they're greedy. They DON'T need to regulate your use of music on a personal player! I feel pretty strongly about that- maybe it's because I'm an old college DJ, maybe it's because I still like "stickin' it to the man", or MAYBE it's because I think Steve Jobs is a turd... either way, it's YOUR player and your music once you buy it and it SHOULD be YOUR music programming. You should be able to decide how you want to USE IT AND ENJOY IT. So- while there are other cheaper players on the market, I still think the true beauty of the Nano is in the design. The Nano itself is ultimately user friendly and streamlined. Despite all the negatives, I love it.Lire l'avis complet...
read................................
The ipod nano is very easy to use and very easy to store in backpocket or armband. Its great for going to the gym, and great for destressing. with 4 kids theres never a moment to listen to my music, so now i pop in the barney cd for the kids in the car, and plug the music right into my ears. its best to keep it in a protective case because the screen is very vulnerable, and the back dents and scratches very easy. i do not believe it is a product you can have 10 years from now and still be in good condition. if you love to exersize and you love music this is the right product for you. just realize you might have to get a new one every couple of years. i've had mine for 3 months and it looks like i dropped it off the empire state building, becaus ei have not had a protective case covering it. Overall it is pretty durable, light, and it looks pretty cool in my opinion. I believe in a couple of years these things will be cheap, and evn more hiigh tech ones will be the same price or cheaper. I believe they are a big deal now but not for long. i hope you found this helpful.Lire l'avis complet...
Needed instructions
The Ipod Nano was purchased as a gift for my daughter. She is in love with and uses it a lot for her walking exercise program. It's tiny size makes it a great device. It is so much more lighter than the Ipod Mini, of which I have one. It is small and fits on her arm for walking and has a neck holder for wearing around your neck. She likes the neck holder because it keeps the ear plug wire from getting tangled up in clothings or catching on things that she passes. I also purchased some accessories that go to the Ipod. Having an Ipod is like having a Barbi Doll, all the cute things that are made for it. The thing I did not think of and really needed was instructions to come with the Ipod. My purchase did not include any instructions so I had to get instructions from someone else and make copies of them. I have since then purchased another Ipod from Ebay and am very happy with my purchases, except for the lack of instructions.Lire l'avis complet...
Great item for children 12-16 years in age
What I loved about the Apple iPod nano was the size and all the music, photos and other various items this little mp3 player holds, like the games and contact book, equalizer settings and calendar. What made me buy it was the price and the overall appearance. I made sure that the nano would be compatible for what I wanted it for, but I was drawn to the appearance and size before anything else. I got the Apple iPod nano for my daughter and she loves it, her only complaint about it was that she likes to use the screenlock feature, but sometimes the screen will not unlock for her and she has to hook it back up to the computer to unlock it and she's not around a computer all the time. Overall experience with this iPod nano is excellent; my daughter plays it all the time but needs only to charge it at least once or twice every two weeks. This was my first mp3 player purchase and I especially like that it came with all the needed components.Lire l'avis complet...
Nifty little gadget
With the iPod Nano, like every little new electronic designed by modern technology, has its pros and it's cons. The 2 GB has excellent sound, holds more than enough music, and is so compact that it is conveinant enough to take anywhere. The earbuds that come with the Nano are good as far as sound is concerned but no so good as far as comfort goes. If you plan on purchasing an iPod Nano to work out with, or even wear out where you do not want others to hear what you are listening to, you will end up investiing some more money on different earbuds. The earbuds that are equipped with the the Nano when purchased or the factory earbuds easily come out of your ears. As far as the cons go, the earbuds are the only complaint I have and that is if I am searching for a complaint. Also, be aware that purchasing new earbuds that are of good quality can run up a quite a bill. However, all-in-all, you will love this iPod. 2GB holds plenty of storage for all of your music. And, if you store too much, you can easily replace the old music with the new and save the old for another time after the new becomes old. Be careful when purchasing any iPod from eBay and look at apple.com first. They have refurbished iPods that are garaunteed with even 4 GB for $100.00...so shop around. Good Luck and let me know if I was any assistance to you.Lire l'avis complet...
Best iPod Review
The good: The enhanced iPod has the same sleek design with improved video battery life and brighter screen; it brings gapless playback to the masses; up to 80GB; new features such as instant search and enhanced games; movies now available in iTunes 7; excellent overall value.
The bad: The Apple iPod has added no major functions such as FM radio, wireless, recording; small screen not conducive to movie viewing; proprietary USB cable; narrow native video-format compatibility; body is still scratch prone.
The bottom line: The amazingly low priced updated Apple iPod gets many under-the-hood improvements, but it's still not a true video player.Lire l'avis complet...
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE NANO
Ipod nano is the best thing to happen to happen to digital music since the iPod itself. I bought this in hopes to have the next cool thing out there, ( i had a mini before and sold it to buy a nano because i didn't have 1000 songs and i wanted to have pictures)
When i first got it it was GREAT, i plugged it in and all the sudden within about ten minutes it was updated with the latest software and it had all my music and pictures on it. Then things went bad.
I was going on a trip that day and when i was back i noticed my iPod nano was scratched. it had not been abused, or even near something that could have scratched it. Go to any store with one on display and you'll see that pretty much whenever you touch it it scratches. YOU MUST BUY A SKIN AND SCREEN PROTECTORS OR IT WILL BE SCRATCHED UP LIKE AN OLD RECORD!
Because the screen is just under the plastic that covers the front of the nano the whole screen is very vulnerable to scartches and smudges which are very hard to get off on this certain plastic.
Positives:
small and sleek
holds all the music most people need
is great if you want pictures but not video
in my opinion sound quality is pretty good.
Negatives:
More Fragile Than a glass ornament
screen is too small for pictures
apple's customer support is really bad
no wall charger, a big problem for those of us that can't get to our usb ports easily on our cpu.
if you are looking for a great toy buy a psp. if you are looking for a mp3 player, try something else. if you must have this, get a knight's armour!Lire l'avis complet...
