Apple iPod Nano Review

by Melissa J. Perenson

- The first thing you'll notice about the third-generation Apple iPod Nano ($199 for the 8GB version as of 9/7/2007) is its 2-inch display. How can you not? The display occupies more than half of the device--fitting considering that one of the big selling points of the Nano is it can now play video in addition to music. The second thing you'll notice is its new shape: The Nano's long, thin stick design has been replaced by a wider, stouter design that accommodates both the generous screen and Apple's signature scroll wheel. And it delivers all this in the same impressively thin profile--about a quarter-of-an-inch thick--as the previous Nano.

Duration of ownership: 3 Months

Strengths: Nice and Clean Look, Perfect Size, Good Size Storage

Weaknesses:

Overall Evaluation: This is my first IPod. It is cool little music player that amazes me how versatile it is. It is easy to use once you are familiar with it. For first time buyer like me, you might find hard time to learn how to use it. I had hard time trying to figure out how to download music. I had to go to Apple web site to download manual which I think it should come with it at least Quick Use Manual. see MP3 Players low price at http://musicplayershop.blogspot.com/

Strengths: It's an ipod!

Weaknesses: Itunes, accessories too expansive

Overall Evaluation: I love the blue color and I think the 3rd generation has a more appealing appearance than the original Nano. It can also play video, very nice feature. 8GB can hold thousands of songs. I don't know if it is me but I do find the sound quality is also better than the 2nd generation Nano. One thing I don't like about ipod is the software. Itunes is slow. Moreover, it only offers synchronization so you can't add or delete songs directly on ipod. I found a alternative free software to replace itunes. It's called Winamp and it's free. It's a much smaller software, easy to use with powerful features. As usual, accessories are expensive, like speakers, fm tuner, and case etc. I really like it. Recommended!
