Apple iPod Nano (2GB, white)
price range: $99.99

The good: The iPod Nano has a gorgeous, superslim design with a bright, photo-friendly screen. It is easy to operate and works seamlessly with iTunes and the iTunes Music Store, which has the world's largest selection of music. It boasts a nimble processor and system performance with no skipping, thanks to flash memory.
The bad: The iPod Nano suffers from unspectacular battery life, and though the device is durable, it scratches easily; blemishes show up more drastically on the black version. The Nano is pricey in terms of gigabytes per dollar, and its 4GB maximum capacity is not a good fit for many power users. The player skips many sought-after extra features such as FM radio and A/V-out, and it doesn't work with Camera Connector. The USB power adapter ($29) is not included.
The bottom line: Thanks to its limited capacity, the gorgeous iPod Nano isn't for everybody, but it sets the standard for MP3 players to come.

Incredible New iPod
by dsknyc on September 12, 2005
Pros: Unbelievable size - no moving parts - color screen
Cons: Limited capacity - Battery life is good, not great. Scratch prone.

Summary: This new iPod is incredible and shows why Apple owns the Mp3 market. The size is unreal and the color screen, ease of use and color screen are amazing. Once the Nano has about 16-20gb of flash memory (hopefully in the next 12 months) this will be the perfect digital music device. I would also like to see apple use the material from the previous mini that was not so prone to scrathces and finger prints. WAY TO GO APPLE!

Amazing new iPod... and a request to CNET
by speedmetal on September 10, 2005
Pros: Amazing size, great to see a color screen
Cons: Can't think of any
Summary: Please filter the "reviews" that do nothing but tell us about free iPods (or free anything).

Summary: I'm not an Apple fan by any means, but I have to give them props for this one. As far as I know, there aren't any other 4GB flash players available on the market right now, and I don't know about the rest of you, but no matter how "skip-proof" your cd player or HD-based mp3 player says it is, I don't feel comfortable running with a $200+ device prone to mechanical failure strapped to my arm.

Summary: I love listening to my new ipod Nano 2GB. I only have one problem to voice about it. The improved ipod battery is not improved enough in my humble opinion. My final solution for this only challenge was to pick up a batterygeek 100+ hour ipod battery. So far everything is sounding pretty good.

Incredibly small, with huge WOW factor
by DJY on September 10, 2005
Pros: Size, screen, looks, style

Screen is very clear, and the black looks stunning! I elected to take a white one to avoid possibly noticeable smudges and fingerprints. Size has to be seen to be believed. Screen size while slightly smaller than the rest of the iPod range is very clear, and the scroll wheel very manageable (with my fat fingers even). The distinct clicks (sounds) help confirm selections.
Very much a winner! This will continue to turn heads, and I suspect become one of the "must have" gadgets!10 out of 21 users found this user opinion helpful.

Great Looking, but average sound quality

Summary: I was looking for a replacement flash based player for about a year now and decided to try this out. It's a nice unit, looks great but it's not really that impressive.
The preset sound settings lack depth. The earbuds suck, for the price they could have provided something better. These headphones don't produce an awe inspiring sound. They could have thrown those in ear buds for this price.
For something so fragile looking they could have at least provided an armband or carrying case to go with it.
The Itunes sw is a little flaky at times in windows.
Overall, I liked the player, but I also bought the Iriver H10 6gb, and i have to say the feature set and sound are better than the IPOD's, though their headphones suck too.3 out of 4 users found this user opinion helpful.

Runners dream come true

I run everyday and this ipod is small enough to fit in the key pocket of my running shorts. I've had armbands and waistbelts for my other ipods but they were always uncomfortable and felt too heavy boucing around with each stride. The nano is perfect. I barely notice at all while I'm running.2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

High Cool Factor and Accessories. Suspect Longevity
by asilvera4 on September 12, 2005
Pros: Sooo tiny. Apple ease of use. Legacy accessory support.
Cons: Acrylic face dulls very easily. Only 4X capacity of Shuffle.

Summary: This is everything that is good about the iPod (iTunes, Automobile integration, shelves of accessories, easier to use than a toaster), and it's cool. Very cool. This is the first day I've taken it to work, and I'm almost tired of the "oh wow!"'s and "that's awesome"'s. Almost.
What's not cool is the acrylic face. I have had it in a cotton pouch at all times that it was not being handled by my coworkers. Despite this, the face is scratching and dulling at a shocking rate. Maybe it's the black background, maybe it's the lighting in here, or maybe it's just a piece of junk.
Even with the small capacity and questionable face, I would definitely buy it again.2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

From iPod Mini to iPod Skinny

Summary: I can't believe Apple replaced their only decent-looking DAP with this anorexic version of the full-size iPod. Unless there are plans to up the storage in the future, it would have made more sense to use the Nano as a replacement for the Shuffle instead of the Mini.
Never thought I'd say this about Apple, but I can't believe the price! 4GB of flash for the price of a 6GB micro drive? Wow! Maybe this will help make SD/MMC prices drop as well.2 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.

good navigation design, looks great, BUT DON'T BUY IT
by jaekwon on November 8, 2006
Pros: small, sleek, good sound, good usability
Cons: breaks, scratches, battery dies, there are better players out there
Summary: If you don't need iTunes but you have Windows Media Player 11, then buy an iRiver Clix. (It is way cooler dude, even has video)
If you don't ...Summary: If you don't need iTunes but you have Windows Media Player 11, then buy an iRiver Clix. (It is way cooler dude, even has video)
If you don't need iTunes and you don't have windows, then keep looking.
If you need iTunes, get off that **** because the sound quality sucks and the artists don't get paid fairly. iTunes is the devil, you just don't know it yet.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.
