Small and handy
I like the nano because it's small and handy. The interface is also more efficient than others on the market. It has a lot of features and is versatile at organizing music. With 4gb, I can store an awful lot of songs, but be aware that the way you rip your mp3's make a very noticeable difference to how many songs you can store. 192k mp3's are 33% larger than 128k mp3's, so you may want two versions of the same song - one for home, one for your 4gb ipod. When I'm outside with the earbuds in, I can't tell the difference in quality so I'd just assume have more storage. I strongly urge anyone buying a nano to invest in a case. Because they are portable and will be going in pockets, backpacks, etc. they will be subject to all kinds of fuzz, crumbs, and grit and the case will help keep it out. I've read also read how fragile others have found them to be, which is another practical reason for a case. I have had no issues with mine but it's never had any real abuse from dropping or being sat on. My largest complaint is that you are, for all practical purposes, married to iTunes. There are so many ipods out there, and iTunes is so bad that I'm suprised it's not getting better. I could write a small manifesto on why iTunes stinks, but this review is really about the ipod (which is good!) Another small issue is that the firmware upgrades to the ipod (which you do through iTunes) are of varying quality. Sometimes they fix issues, sometimes they create them. Other minor detractions: * Battery life could be better, but I get around 8 hours * Screen is difficult to see outside * Wall/car chargers are not included (but cheap on amazon) * Copy protection pieces (mp4, some iTunes features) are annoying * More expensive than competitors * If battery poops out, may as well buy another - $75 replacement is a ripoff Enjoy my iPod Nano I enjoy the iPod Nano. It's light-weight and easy to carry. I have more than enough room for my favorite songs. I can use it to play songs from certain genres,singers, or bands. I'm very happy with this product. Great...While It Works I loved my Nano when I first got it. After a little over a year--and the warranty ran out--it suffered a catastrophic failure. Now I've got a really expensive paperweight. Shopping on Amazon is a pleasure Just what I was looking for - couldn't find in the stores. Good price, good shipping policies, always receive timely. It's a joy shopping with Amazon Nano so-so but return policy was A Plus We had a problem within the 1st 30 days of purchasing the Nano but were able to return it very simply and had a new one before the old one even got sent back. Great customer service. Nano is now working perfectly 3 months later. | |
