CNET Editor's rating: 8.3 out of 10
Reviewed by James Kim
Review date: 9/13/05
Release date: 9/7/05

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.

Product brief - Apple iPod Nano (4GB, white)
Hide

Description: The Apple iPod Nano is a 4 GB, large capacity player. Compared to other large capacity MP3 players on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $190.

Pros: None noted, given available product data.

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: A large capacity MP3 player, suited for bringing an entire music library with you. Funkify your listening experience with the blue and white backlit display on this player. Comes with equalizer presets to easily maximize your listening experience. According to the manufacturer this player will last approximately 14 hour(s) between charges; your run-time will vary based on use and power management configuration. Comes with a 1 year warranty, which is standard in the industry. If you plan to take your MP3 player to the gym, a flash player may be the better choice, as opposed to a disk-based player that is more susceptible to being jarred.

Value: In general, this MP3 player's features are in line with its price.

Suggestions: If you don't totally love the headphones that came with your MP3 player, you might find aftermarket headphones that better suit your needs.
