Customer Rating:      Summary: Freeze again and again. Comment: Whne i recently purchased an i-pod it worked up untill about a week before freezing twice both within th same week or so.Then not so later after this is went completely black and unfortunately hasnt been working since.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Might be small, but it's not exactly mighty. Comment: When my sister got one of these babies for christmas I thought, whilst it cost nearly 4 times as much as my mp3 player, it also had 4 times the memory, and it also was compatible with itunes and syncs with the computer to allow teh same playlists on the player and teh computer itself, so after 4 months I got one myself, and having never use my sister's, I was quite unimpressed. The headphones, whilst having good sound quality, are far to small for my ears, so they are not held in place very well, and they don't rest close enough to my inner ear, meaning it has to be turned up to full volume, which means not only I am listening to it, but everyone in a a 10 feet radius is aswell. Also it doesn't adjust all tracks to be teh same volume, like my computer does, menaing whenever certain songs cme on, I'm deafened. The final moan is that the only way the cover flow can be viewed is by album, which is not good for me because I list my songs by artist. So alot of moans, but the 3 stars are for it's size, it's fair price, and the sync-ability with itunes.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A great gadget and very useful for long journeys Comment: This Ipod Nano is the third generation from Apple. Once again they've made it much smaller and thinner. However, as it's made to play videos this time you get a far wider screen than the previous Nano's.
The 3G Nano is an example of very sleek design. One look at the Nano in the flesh and you can tell you own something that will end up in the history of this decade. Much like when the Sony cassette Walkman came out in the 80's, the Ipod will be forever linked to the 2000's. As previously mentioned the new design of a wider screened Nano is to display video content. Originally however ITunes didn't seem to offer much but as time has gone on there is a descent selection of BBC, Channel 4 and American programmes available. Episodes and whole series are good value for money and the picture quality is excellent. It's also easy to watch and enjoy even though it's on a tiny screen. As time moves on Apple and ITunes will hopefully introduce films to download as well, which will make the Nano even more useful for those long boring train/plane journeys.
Music once again is very easy to put on and play on your Nano and with the new artwork scroll feature you can whiz through your collection and easily pick out the album your after. Its not a terribly useful feature but it is fun to use. Again all your music is catalogued and you can even search for artists using the Nano's search engine. Games are much improved with better longevity (the music quiz game is particularly developed and better for it). You can also download more advanced games such as Sonic The Hedgehog or Brain Training.
The Nano has is certainly iconic but for all it's flash it still is not the fool proof gadget it should be. Mine broke on first use and had to have the latest drivers re-installed to kick start it again. It can also jam up and stop working with certain commands and needs to be either re-started or clicked back a command. In terms of "hardiness" the Nano is as flimsy as ever, the screen is better than the old Nano's, but you feel if you dropped it you'd be in danger of completely breaking it. Too this I would urge you to buy a quality case for it.
The Ipod Nano 3G is an excellent gadget and for all its little faults its actually very useful. Remember all those times in the airport and the bus or train with nothing but a book or a newspaper to read. Well now you can enjoy an episode or two of your favourite TV show. It's such a great idea and really helps pass the time. To this end I would say it's a great improvement on the old Nano's, not perfect, but I would certainly recommend this to anyone who is looking for an upgrade or their first Ipod.
Customer Rating:      Summary: amazing! Comment: i love this ipod so much it is so worth getting!
the games (addictive) and videos will keep you entertained for hours, and itunes offer so so many free podcasts that are actually fun and interesting.
took no time at all to sync to my ipod library and although ive put all my music and over 100 episodes of different podcasts im only just halfway over the capacity, which is superb.
i bought mine from pixmania and everything was excellent: actually arrived one day before expected!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Wow im so glad i bought this! Comment: Ok i already had the earliest edition iPod that worked absolutely fine, but i was bored with it and getting fed up of the poor battery life. I saw these new iPod nano's and really wanted one, but was unsure whether it was worth the money when i already had one that worked.
All i can say is im so glad i bought it! The screen looks amazing and the graphics on the videos are incredible! I'm finding myself downloading random videos for the sake of it just to watch them on my new iPod! I have put some photos on here as well and they come out so well with brilliant transition effects in the slideshow.
Another little extra that shouldn't go ummentioned is the game 'iPod Quiz', which i find incredibly addictive!
The battery life on this thing is amazing - i haven't had to recharge it once yet in 5 days of using it!
All i can say is, get this brilliant machine as i love it.

All the features of the iPod nano now come in an even more compact form ? with video functions to boot!Apple proudly presents the new and improved version of its nano player: the iPod nano, with a bold new design and a larger, brighter colour screen.The iPod nano has a video function for viewing your favourite films in exceptional quality thanks to its incredible pixel count, at 204 dpi instead of 163 dpi for earlier Apple models. And the iPod nano continues to push the envelope for multimedia entertainment, with the ability to play video Podcasts!Even the interface has been modified to make it even more user-friendly and intuitive. The Cover Flow function, for example, displays the album cover of all the music tracks stored in the player?s memory, so you can flip through your music library and find your favourite songs quickly and easily. You?ll even be able to download games onto your iPod nano to serve as a distraction during those long commutes. It has a range of functional features, including a calendar, international clock and a stopwatch, too!But more astounding than all these features is the fact that the iPod nano is even more compact than its predecessors! Its anodised aluminium and stainless steel body reflects the same stylish design that Apple iPods are known for, and the sound quality is still as amazing as ever! Let yourself go, with the iPod nano!
