The good: The third-generation iPod Nano offers crisp, bright video playback, an exceptionally thin all-metal body, above-average battery life, built-in games, and an advanced user interface.
The bad: We're not crazy about the wider body, the smaller scroll wheel, the lack of video output, and the average-sounding audio quality.
The bottom line: The shape may have changed, but Apple's relentless attention to detail remains. The third generation of the iPod Nano provides loads of entertainment for a down-to-earth price.
Now in its third generation, Apple's iPod Nano gets a substantial redesign to accommodate games and video playback. Despite its changes--and Apple made many--the iPod Nano is still one of the smallest, thinnest, and most exquisitely designed MP3 players on the market. It's also one of the most affordable, with a 4GB (silver) model offered for $149, and an 8GB (silver, black, red, green, or blue) model for $199. While the updated iPod Classic and the new iPod Touch are equally intriguing, the revamped Nano delivers the most bang for the buck.
Design
The redesign of the iPod Nano has drawn plenty of criticism. Its detractors call it chubby, squat, and awkward looking. We certainly had our reservations, but in the hand, the latest Nano makes the second-generation Nano look like a skyscraper.
The Nano measures a petite 2.75 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 0.25 inch thick--a significant shift from its once long and skinny shape, though it is essentially the same thickness. Matte, anodized aluminum graces the faceplate, as with the previous generation of Nanos and now the iPod Classic as well. The back and sides of the Nano, however, mimic the Video iPod's rounded, glossy, smudge-prone chrome enclosure. On the bottom edge of the Nano, you'll find the iPod's proprietary USB port, along with the headphone jack and the hold switch, which prevents you from accidentally triggering the player's buttons. Nano keeps Apple's ubiquitous Click Wheel design, although the Nano's new Click Wheel is smaller in diameter--it's only 1 inch--than the previous Nano's 1.25 inches. The much skinnier touch strip may frustrate users accustomed to the 1.5-inch wheel of the Video iPod and the iPod Classic.
The Nano's most dramatic design change is, of course, its larger, brighter screen. The 2-inch color screen packs a dense, crisp 320x240 video resolution that looks richer and brighter than that of any iPod to date. It's not often that we deem a screen smaller than 2.5 inches worthy of video playback, but with a tightly packed 204 pixels per inch, the Nano looks incredibly sharp. Unlike the Apple iPhone or the iPod Touch, however, the Nano's screen is covered with a scratch-prone plastic that will quickly show wear.
The Nano's second-most impressive design improvement is its dramatically overhauled menu system. One of the most striking changes is a split-screen main menu that displays the menu on the right half of the screen and a picture related to the selection on the left. For example, highlight the Music selection on the main menu, and the right half of the screen displays a random, drifting closeup of cover artwork from your music library. This same effect accompanies menu items such as movies, podcasts, and photos. Some might write this split-screen effect off as pure novelty, but the end result is quite beautiful. The Cover Flow system, for browsing your music collection with an emphasis on album artwork, finally makes its Nano debut, although Cover Flow does lose some appeal when not on a touch screen device such as the iPhone. We also found a noticeable amount of lag when using Cover Flow. Users with large music collections to sort through will prefer browsing with the list mode or the search function. That said, Cover Flow makes for a scenic and engaging, if slow, way to browse your music.
Features
The third-generation Nano's piece de resistance is its support for video playback. Like the Video iPod (now iPod Classic), the iPod Nano supports H.264 or MPEG4 video in either MOV, MP4, or M4V file formats, with a maximum resolution of 640x480 at as much as 30 frames per second. You can buy videos through the iTunes online store or import them into iTunes and convert them for playback. (Many third-party software video converters also do a great job converting videos for the iPod.) Despite its size, the Nano supports video features we seldom find on portable video players twice its size. For instance, the Nano can recognize and skip between the DVD-like chapter markers embedded in QuickTime movie files. It also does a dependable job automatically resuming video playback at the point that you last left off. As a bonus, the new iPod Nano and iPod Classic now properly launch video podcasts ("vodcasts") as videos, instead of mistaking them for audio podcasts when launched from within the Music menu.
The iPod Nano's second major new feature is support for iTunes video games. While the selection of iPod video games has grown slowly, three tried-and-true standards come bundled with the Nano right out of the box: a congenial game of Solitaire, a trivia game called iQuiz, and the brick-pummeling Vortex (think Breakout on steroids). While the games are a handy way to pass some time, don't expect the Nano to compete with the Sony PSP anytime soon.
Looking past the obvious big-ticket improvements, the new Nano includes some small touches that are easy to miss. Apple's music shuffle function, for instance, has made a subtle evolution, now letting you easily engage and disengage the shuffle function on the fly with just a few presses on the Click Wheel's center button. By placing the shuffle setting options (Shuffle Song, Shuffle Album, or Shuffle Off) in a song's Now Playing window, Apple is effectively giving you the ability to randomize songs until you find an artist you like--a lazy listener's dream come true.
Apple hasn't changed its audio file format support. Copy-protected AAC files purchased through iTunes are supported, of course, as well as MP3, Apple lossless, AIFF, WAV, and Audible files. We're happy to see that, despite the iPhone's unique file-management requirements, the iPod Nano allows for the manual addition and deletion of music and video files without the hassles of playlist syncing. The Nano can also double as a USB flash drive in a pinch.
While the iPod Nano is a top-tier product, we long for some additional features, including the ability to use the headphone jack as a composite-video output, allowing photos and videos to be played to your television set without a third-party interface. While we can understand removing the little-used AV output feature to save on construction costs, we're even more surprised that Apple has rendered all current iPods incompatible with a number of third-party fifth-generation video accessories as well. If you're hoping to use a new Nano or Classic with an existing video dock, be sure to check that the product explicitly states it is compatible with third-generation iPod Nanos. Apple's own Universal iPod Dock ($50) and Component AV Cable ($50) are guaranteed to work, of course.
Plus, there's our standard list of long-neglected iPod features: FM radio; line-input recording; SD memory expansion; custom equalizer; and native support for WMA and subscription music services. We're not holding our breath.
Performance
Despite the major interface overhaul, the iPod Nano's sound quality still sounds just middle-of-the-road. Although middling sound quality doesn't seem to affect iPod sales, you'd think Apple would eventually address this chink in the iPod's armor, if only out of pride. Users do get more than 20 equalization presets to choose from, ranging from subtle enhancement to dramatic bass boosting. Compared to products such as the Creative Zen V Plus, the Cowon iAudio 7, or the Toshiba Gigabeat U, however, the iPod's sound quality still leaves room for improvement. That said, after listening with our Ultrasone HFI-700 headphones as well as a set of Shure SE310 earphones, we can say with confidence that the Nano's fidelity will certainly satisfy most users.
Much to our surprise, the Nano's video performance stole the show. We were highly skeptical that we'd enjoy watching video on a 2-inch screen, yet the Nano's superfine 204ppi screen looked refreshingly sharp and bright. We still prefer the video experience of a larger player such as the affordable Archos 405, but it's not far-fetched to imagine watching a full-length movie on the Nano.
Battery life was a big bragging right for the second-generation Nano, and the third-generation carries on this tradition. Apple rated the battery life for their third-generation Nano at 24 hours for audio playback and 5 hours for video. Our official CNET labs testing squeezed out an impressive 29 hours of audio playback and 6.7 hours of video.
Is it worth upgrading?
Considering that the iPod Classic and the iPod Nano are now nearly identical aside from storage capacity and screen size, the Nano is less a product unto itself and much more like a "light" version of the iPod Classic.
Existing Nano owners drawn to the previous Nano's less-is-more appeal enjoyed not worrying about the tiny screen getting scratched if it took a tumble onto the floor and may be turned off by the need treat the device more carefully. We also found that the new Nano's wider form is less comfortable in the fist than the previous generation, making it awkward for jogging without an armband or a pocket.
We expect that this Nano will appeal more to existing iPod users looking to replace their decaying third-, fourth-, and fifth-generation hard-drive iPods with something smaller, cheaper, and leaner. Of course, the Nano would be more appealing all the way around if Apple would just make a 16GB version.
The iTunes factor
No iPod review would be complete without mentioning Apple's iTunes music software. For better or worse, the integration between an iPod and Apple's iTunes music software is nearly airtight. If this is going to be your first iPod, it's worthwhile to download iTunes ahead of time to see if it works well on your computer and is intuitive for you to use. You should also be aware that most of the music and movies available for purchase on the iTunes online store will play only in iTunes or on an authorized iPod and cannot be transferred to a non-Apple MP3 player.
Final thoughts
Apple's new iPod Nano seems to be drawing equal amounts of ire and admiration. Although we miss the slender form of the second-generation Nano, we feel the latest edition has more going for it than against it. At less than $200, the Nano offers one of the richest user experiences we've seen on an MP3 player.

Finally Gave in and Purchased a Nano
by scootmc on November 23, 2007
Pros: Easy to use.,more choices, easier integration
Cons: None so far
Summary: After owning a number of other players I finally gave up and purchased an iPod to replace my Sandisk e260.

My major complaint with every alternative player I've owned has been the darn DRM. I frequently found myself searching different music sites to find some of the music I wanted. Once purchased and downloaded, music purchased on Yahoo would not play on the Rhapsody player, etc... unless of course I put it all on a CD and converted it to the MP3 format. Otherwise, I was forced to use different players depending on where I purchased music. Windows Media Player was hit or miss at best. What a pain. The only really good music site (in my opinion) was Urge, but they sold out to Rhapsody and that killed it for me.
iTunes imported all my purchased music, and viola, it all plays in iTunes. iTunes also has the greatest selection of music, Podcasts, and a bunch of other stuff, too. The alternative players can be used for Podcasts, videos and other things too, but why bother with extra steps. The Nano integrates perfectly with iTunes and at least on my computer they both work flawlessly. I've yet to search iTunes for a particular song and had a negative result. I finally gave in to the fact that Apple has the market cornered and the music part of my life has been greatly simplified.
I could care less about no FM tuner. The FM tuner on the Sandisk didn't pick up radio stations that well anyway. The sound quality on the Nano is at least equal to or greater than the Sandisk e260. There is no problem with the Nano's battery life as long as you understand that it is significantly reduced by playing games or watching videos.6 out of 7 users found this user opinion helpful.

Great but not sure worth the hype...
by LangJohnson on October 27, 2007
Pros: Attractive slim line design; bright color screen; easy to use.

Summary: First a quick user profile...while I'm not an iSheep, I do admire Apple's great on-going product design for the iPod and the Mac, so this opinion should be without the pre-conceived notion from either camp. I'm also not what some would consider a power user, but I do travel internationally on a very frequent basis and use my MP3 player during long flights and while at the hotel or during down times overseas. I'm hoping this review would also help fellow travelers like myself who otherwise would not have the time to research MP3 player options.
So, recently bought the new 4G Nano to replace my old iRiver 1G player, and thus my basis for comparison. While I found the Nano quite intuitive to use, I found some areas of sound quality lacking...the highs were adequate, the mid-range was excellent, but the bass was all but missing. Even with the extra bass function turned on, I was still not getting the bass sound that I was getting from the iRiver at an average "rock" setting. I even doublechecked the same song on the Nano versus the old iRiver, and the difference was obvious...the iRiver has much better bass. Otherwise the player is very easy to use and looks just great!
On the other hand, the iTunes software was not easy at all to figure out. I rate as above average in early adoption of new technologies and still it took me a bit to figure out how everything worked...not to mention the lack of an FM radio, extra storage, and the ability to fully customize the EQ function. What also became a point of frustration was the proprietary nature of iPods which meant I could not ever perform a "drag and drop" of songs from my Windows Media into my iPod.
Bottom line, I think it's a good product but not great for the international travelers like myself. And with some of the missing features, Apple has not convinced me to be a loyal follower yet.5 out of 7 users found this user opinion helpful.

Overpriced, decent player
by alberttheduke on December 24, 2007
Pros: Better games, transfer speeds
Cons: iTunes, body size, too sensitive, scroll wheel, encrypted and slow firmware, Mac must be updated to use

Summary: The Apple iPod Nano is, well, not my favorite of all players, what with a lack of features (FM radio and recording) and mediocre sound quality. I own the 8GB model, my first iPod in years after my hell of a battle with the 20GB iPod 4th Generation HP. While it's more stable than the 4th Gen, I still feel like the iPod is mediocre at best and really overpriced.
In order to use the Nano on my Mac, I had to update my edition of Tiger in order to run iTunes (which one can ONLY get online, what the hell is that all about?). For first time ever, installing the iPod was easier on my PC (and it runs Vista Ultimate-- ouch for Apple).
My biggest pet peeve is that Apple has encrypted the firmware, meaning Rockbox will no longer run on any iPod after the 1st gen. iPod Nano.
iTunes is also the worst piece of bloatware to use (if on PC). Overwriting album art will screw up the paths on the iPods, meaning a black box will be displayed instead. I've also had occasions where album art will show up on the incorrect record. And if that isn't bad enough, Cover Flow combines albums that have the same title, even if they have different artists. This means that Bruce Springsteen's Greatest Hits record is mashed with Journey's Greatest Hits, which is also mashed with Queen's Greatest Hits. That's really annoying.
The iPod needs work. I do not recommend it.2 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: I love this thing!!! I had been using my VX8600 phone as my main player with 2b sdmicro card; however, after receiving soo many gift cards to BestBuy I decided to purchase the new Ipod Nano (open item for 119.00) I couldn't be happier. The podcasts have to be the best feature. I transferred all types of videos from itunes for FREE like Meet the Press NBC nightly news, and tons of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PROGRAMS I also purchased programs like Americas funniest home videos. This this is great for video on the go. If you need a good mp3 player, this is the one for you.

Summary: despite being a musician and a geek, i had not taken a serious step into portable music players, due to a healthy skepticism of proprietary technology. but in february i received a 2nd gen shuffle as an award. i got into it, and found i loved it, but i didn't have a screen, and i wanted more flexibility in how i played my music...so i decided i wanted a 3rd gen nano.
i have now had one for 3 weeks, and i absolutely love it. the sound quality is great (i know, it's not quite audiophile level, but honestly, when listening while travelling, ambient sounds prevent you from hearing the the subtlest nuances anyway.) i have found that i have heard some details i had not previously heard with the shuffle, and i was very happy with the shuffle.
i am a part-time sound tech, and i had been using the shuffle to play music during breaks between artists through a high-quality sound system, designed for acoustic acts, with very good results...now that i have the nano, it will be easy to play the catalog of the night's performer, as well as that of upcoming artists.
my favorite part so far is the abilty to play solitaire (klondike) while listening to the music of my choice. i have found this capability to be incredibly useful while waiting for appointments, although it does not seem to honor the shuffle setting on the playlist while playing a game. (yes, the games do decrease the battery life, but that's ok with me.)
having come from the shuffle, and not a larger-format ipod, i have no problem at all with the navigation wheel. i have fairly large hands, and i have no problem using it. it is very intuitive, and responsive.
i don't really like the included ipod earbuds, because they are a little too big for me to wear comfortably, but that's easily and inexpensively remedied, and no one pair of earbuds will please all users.
i do have some concerns about the screen, but i'll be putting a screen protector on it...just like i did for my blackberry.
i did buy an extra (aftermarket) cable, usb ac adapter, and a usb car adapter, so that i am not tied to the computer to charge it. i also immediately went out and bought a skin. in my opinion, these are all essential items to have in an "ipod survival kit".
oh, and you can use it as a disk, and see it via explorer, although the files are hidden, and have crytpic, undecipherable names. to do so, from the itunes software with the nano connected, just choose "enable disk usage" in the settings screen, and apply it. that's it.
bottom line: i use it every day, and i absolutely love it.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Fast, Durable, and Beautiful
by thefox84 on July 7, 2008
Pros: Great battery life, very fast interface, beautiful design, $$ is given to charity when purchasing THIS one
Cons: You can't add memory, no FM radio I guess

Summary: I use my nano all the time, mostly in my car or when going to the gym. I put a cheap $10 rubber case on it and it has(unfortunately) taken a tumble down the stairs. I was terrified it would be broken, but it just kept on going. Sometimes it falls at the gym too but that never stops it. The battery life is very, very long. I will use it on roadtrips and at the gym and not have to recharge 5 days later with heavy use.
The best part about this whole device though, is how it feels. It is amazingly thin, has a beautiful design, and the interface is very fast and not clunky like my old 30 gig Video iPod.
Another thing I like about this product is that it has had NONE of the problems I had with my mini and video. No battery life dying early and no freezing issues. It syncs with my mac and is a joy to use. The only complaint I have with this product is the lack of expansion, I recently ran out of space and have had to choose many songs that don't get played as often. I guess its my fault for not wanting to pony up another $200 for a 16 gb iPod touch.
And to top it all off, $$ is donated to RED to help fight AIDS in Africa.

Cons: ear bud are worthless - buy some good ons and you hear good results, the weel is little too sensitive and i sometimes miss what i want to choose. Battery internal- when it's drwan - no more music.

Summary: This is a great player but if you want the most out of it and specially hear the bass you should really consider other headphones - I have AKG and they just sound perfect - very accurate.
I really like the screen but it's not realy for watching something more then few seconds.
it;s so small and convenient - maybe the cowon has more features or the sony but they are much bigger . this one just goes anywhere even you can leave it hanging in the air.
Battery life in sony 35 hours - sure - it's so big they just put so many batteries inside. The Ipod is all about portability- everyone can prefer it's own .
if you going to be a month in the desert- take the sony . But if you are just jogging or going out - take the ipod and few hours later you can plug it into USB for 40 min and it's like new.
radio- No radio- if it's impotent for you try cowon.
i paid for it outside the USA 230$ for the 4GIGA . -
Good and bad
by shinklee on February 7, 2008
Pros: slim, small and light. 8 gigs.
Cons: Stuck using iTunes. No wireless bluetooth. Needs firmware update.

I get a new one about every year.
This is the best ipod so far, except maybe for the 160 gigabyte ipod classic.
I use the nano with a small external lithium ion battery which can charge it several times. Good for looong trips and viewing many movies.
Why did I give it a 2? because like everyone else I dislike itunes. Its problematic and restrictive.
Furthermore it lacks some simple and convenient tools available in other devices. Such as a tuner, a microphone and bluetooth. Especially bluetooth.
I am not a teenager anymore and prefer not to have long white cords hanging from my ears in public.
People complain the stereo headphones are bad... this is very true, but I believe unreasonable. The headphone is just a included assessory. I personally use a Sony noise canceling headphone, small light and sound much better. It costs $100, but the difference is clear.
People also complain unreasonably that the nano breaks if put in the pants pocket. Of course it will! 150 pounds of fat will break many things! I protect all my ipods with a hard clear case. It works well protecting the screen.
Conclusion, its a very good mp3 player, but for adults we would like to see bluetooth so that we can integrate it with our bluetooth mic/head set when we are in public. I deal with many people and need to keep up appearances.
Apple makes leading edge technology main stream! A 8 gigabyte, color lcd video player the size of a childs palm.
Don't be afraid to look at other companies that are bringing more features then Apple. -
A step up from the previous generation
by nonprofit on January 29, 2008
Pros: a more vivid screen, good video for size, clover flow is excellent, overall an enhancement
Cons: I hate the control they have over my device

I just bought a pink one for my wife, and I enjoy the video and coverflow upgrades, as well as the games. The games are nice if you are stuck in an airport and need something to do.
The biggest con for me is that I am still not impressed with the sound. I even bought supposedly better earphones and am not impressed. However, it is decent enough for something this size. -
