MP3 Players : Apple iPod Nano 4GB Black

I actually bought a nano out of the people who are reviewing it and don't even own it! How do they know... they're assuming they know all about it.

Well, I can tell you the real scoop from a buyers perspective and not a make-believe review that they have no idea of what they're talking about.

First off, the deminsions. It is jsut mind boggling on how they can compact the old mini ipod into something that is 3 times smaller. It is thinner than a pencil and is 3.5 inches tall (about the average persons thumb).

The quality of how it is made is great. The mini 1.3 LCD screen is so clean and crisp that it is like a laptop screen. You can download pictures to share with your friends and it also displays the album cover of the song you are listenign to.

The quality of the sound is just as good as any mp3 player including the other ipods. If anything it's better.

It is a great investment that I will never regret. Hide Full Review

I bought my iPod Nano just about a month ago and so far it has been great but it does scratch amazingly easy. It is quite incredible that something as thick as a pencil can hold 1,000 songs. One bad thing I have found about the nano is that it does scratch VERY easily and if you buy the black one it makes it even easier to see scratches. My suggestion is to buy some kind of outer covering for it before you even open the box. If you don't like the pastel colors that are at www.apple.com look at the other more less known brands, from what I have heard they work just as well and you can buy them in all different kinds of colors. In the end though I don't believe there is much that could have made me regret purchasing the iPod nano, so far it has been wonderful. Hide Full Review

This thing is awesome!!! I loved it right away! I love that it is flash memory and not hard drive. I heard all the scratching stories before I got one and if u buy a cover for it and apply it before u take it anywhere u wont have a problem. There is an awesome product called the invisible shield, it is some hi tech clear stuff to stick on the ipod and it is guaranteed for life. Get it at theinvisibleshield.com and u wont be sorry because your nano wont scratch!Excellent! Hide Full Review

Just a summary of what I have done.
Purchased nano 4 gb four weeks ago. I bought it instead of 60 GB Ipod video because of it's small design and simplicity. Plus I don't like the idea of having less than 2-3 hours when I watch the video on road. (nano's battery last 4-6 hours average from my experiences) The setup was not as hard as somebody said in previous review. I went through all the manual and put pics and musics successfully into my nano. iTuner is not an excellent prog but it's great enough to transfer musics to the ipod. Because of broadly complains about scratches, originally I bought three layers of protections.
1. Sticker from Decalgirl
2. Transparent case (returned it because it created "wetspots" with sticker inside)
3. pouch
So I think problem solved. Well yeah, half way... The accessories on ipod store are too expensive, I have to go through several websites to find a good deal (ex: handhelditems). Apple should have included outlet charger in the packet (268+ dollars just for a player + cable only...what a great company!). $29.99 for plastic charger is just too pricy. I suggest you to make a good research to find a better deal. If you look for a stylish cool-looking player, go for nano. It is a great player, but I won't say it is the best player.
NB: estimate your budget first! I already spent 500+ worth in total to make a good use of my nano. Nano + Sticker + Pouch + Charger + Aux-in Head Unit + shippings.... =\ Hide Full Review

The minute I got this I thought it was like the ipod mini but with a color screen. But when I tried it out I was surprised that it held photos. You know the rumor the first time you drop this it breaks. thats a bunch of lies I dropped this 5 times and I just got a scratch. I just love this ipod. Hide Full Review
