Apple iPod nano 4 GB

Advantages: Small
Disadvantages: No video

...I used to havethe Apple iPod nano 4 GB but I got rid of it. I liked how small it was and how easy it way to carry around, but for me 4 GB of memory just isn't enough. However if you are looking for a simple mp3 player for someone this is a good buy. There is also the new iPod nanos out that are video. I would suggest going for that just because it is able to play videos like the video iPod can. The one i had was black and i had it for around a year. I used it for skiing and after a while in the cold the screen would turn a light color and stop working until I warmed it up in the lodge. So if your looking for a basic mp3 player this is for you.... Read review

Advantages: Wonderful Sound and Portability
Disadvantages: None

...I love my Ipod. What else can you own that you can slide in your pocket and listen to over 1000 songs? I found that this was a very easy MP3 player to use and it was very dependable. The sound quality was great. There is different sound settings that you can set on the Ipod and this makes listening to music enjoyable. I think the price is just right for what you get when buying the Ipod. It is very portable and can be talken anywhere. I would highly recommend this for those who love music. If you buy this and like it you may even try the 8GB which allows for movie watching. You cannot go wrong with an Apple product. Good products all the time.... Read review

Advantages: Home away from home music listening
Disadvantages: None

...I have this iPod, I take it to work with me every day. You can put music in different folders just as you do on your home computer! It is so lightweight that I Clip it on to my blouse as I am Filing at work. The earphones makes it seem like you are listening to surround sound, there is no ouside noise when I have this on. This ipod comes with a cord that plugs into the computer to charge it up or an extension that allows you to plug it into and electrical outlet so that you can still listen while charging because when it is plugged into the computer while charging you are unable to listen to the music. I think that it is great !... Read review

Advantages Compact, stylish, iTunes is convenient, good balance.
Disadvantages Sometimes break easily; not much storage space if you want to keep ALL your music

...This player is compact and stylish, and I found that it was the best balance between the cheap players with small capacities and the more expensive all-singing, all-dancing models. It has plenty of storage capacity, and the advantage of using iTunes is that you can store large amounts of music on your computer but quickly and easily change which tracks to put on your iPod. The downside is that sometimes iPods break easily: I had one before that broke without me doing anything to it. However, I found the player so useful that I preferred to save up for another one than buy a cheaper make. Although Apple may not offer much free servicing, the service centres are convenient and useful, as you can leave your player with them and go do something else while you wait for it to be fixed or diagnosed. Overall good value!... Read review

Advantages great
Disadvantages few

...The ipod nano is a great for its size with brilliant functionality and a great look. not only does it do all the stuff the other ipods did but it also has a great resolution colour screen for photos and album covers as well as some games and other features. The quality, as expected from apple is great and it plays back quick and efficiently with the ability to make on the go playlists to suite the occasion. also, it has the capability to join up with some nike shoes to give you a great workout and jog as well as stay as in touch with all your music. the nano, however, does have a very small screen and gets scratched very easily. this is however, a very small problem as the small screen does not matter too much (unlike the video ipods) and the scratches can either be removed with special solutions available in shops or with a case....

Advantages Cute, stylish, excellent quality music
Disadvantages Scratches easily

...The Ipod Nano 4GB (the aluminium version) is a cracking product from Apple. Using the Nano is very easy with Windows Vista, and itunes is fast. It is a case of dragging and dropping the songs you want and itunes converts them for you. As for the IPOD its light weight and styish. Using the scroll wheel can be a bit of an issue (especially on a cold morning), but you get used to it. Music quality is very good, bass is also passed though the earphones vrey well. You can also store photos on this version of the ipod, though it can use alot of the battery power. The biggest disadvantage is that the product gets scratched very easily, I would certainly recommend a belkin nano case (not just the skin as its a silicon shrink wrap).... Read review
