Reviews summary: What you NEED to know about iPods - Nano's included
Comment reviews: First, I'll say I believe this - the third generation Nano - which was released in Sept. '07 - is the best designed Nano as far as functionality over the new 4th gen Nano. In MY opinion. The new 4th gen is nice, BUT, you have to turn it sideways to watch video. May not be a big deal to many/most, but what if you want to play a video while it's docked?? You can't - until/unless they come out with a sideways dock. And if you've already spent good money on a dock and enjoy watching video while your pods docked in it, the 4th generation Nano will not make you happy. That's my comment/complaint there. I DO like that the new one has increased capacity. Every year they add more space to these pods.
Now, the 3 things you all MUST know about iPods are:
1. New model iPods come out EVERY year in September. Know this when you purchase; it's a fact. Apple ISN'T ripping anyone off, they're improving and keeping up with technology and competition. That's why there are new model cars every year, folks. Pretty basic. You don't say, 'What the fudge - I just bought a 2007 Corvette, and now my buddy says there's a 2008 - I've been tricked!' SAME concept here.
2. Also, there's a price scheme to these Nano's. For example. This year's model is:
8GB =$149.99, 16GB = $199.99. Next year's models will POSSIBLY/likely be:
16GB = $149.99, 32GB = $199.99, and so on as the years go on. Now, this is NOT guaranteed, but it seems to be Apple's trend for pricing. Something to consider. In short, if you want the latest, greatest Nano at the best price and highest (eg. 16GB) storage and it's August, WAIT 'till September.
3. Cheap earbuds/speakers = BAD sound! ALL iPod's/iPhones come with standard earbuds that are uncomfortable and of poor sound quality. You're not getting ripped off, just think of them as a bonus over no earbuds at all. IF you want GREAT sound AND GREAT fit, you MUST plan to spend at LEAST $40. on a decent set of earphones or headphones, folks. The iPods themselves are only HALF of what makes them sound good. The included white earbuds should be regarded as throw-away. OK? So don't whine about poor sound if you're using the included buds. It's the same as a stereo receiver. If you spend $800 on a Denon receiver and then go cheap on the speakers, guess what - BAD sound, folks. Just KNOW this going into your purchases and you'll do sooooo much better. You wouldn't think a Toyota Yaris engine would make a Corvette scream down the highway and you SHOULDN'T expect lousy earbuds/headphones/speakers to make your music soar. Right? Right! Enjoy! :)

Reviews summary: Great Ipod!!
Comment reviews: Well, this is my first Ipod and I love it. It is small enough to use for the gym and the screen is big enough to enjoy videos/movies/etc. The sound is very good and the features are great. I love the coverflow, it's so easy to use and makes it easy to identify the artists. I mostly use it for the audio, but I have used the video as well and I am very impressed. I would recomend this Ipod to anyone who wants to enjoy their music on the run.

Reviews summary: A Kid's Review :-)
Comment reviews: I saved for a very long time to buy this iPod. Originally I thought I wanted pink but green ended up being cheaper.
While we're on colors, I will mention that in the picture, the green looks VERY different from what it actually is. I would describe the actual color as being a almost hunter green, a dark mint.
The sound is PHENOMINAL. You'd think it wouldn't be, coming from a thing that is a mere 3 inches high! The earbuds that come with the iPod have wonderful sound, and even though I have very small ears, they don't hurt as long as you don't push them in far. When I go running, these stay in better than any I've ever tried! So if you're thinking of buying earbuds before you try these, wait!
The iTunes software is a bit messed up, but it's very easy to sync songs (only taking about 30 seconds for 8-10 songs).
The click wheel works perfectly for my small hands, but any bigger hands probably wouldn't be as comfortable as with mine.
To keep the back from getting scratched with general use, I keep the plastic thing from the original box clipped onto my iPod, it works!Especially since I haven't gotten around to buying a case for it :-).
When I sync it, I take the plactic thing off (because you can't put the USB cable in when it's on), but to keep the back of my iPod from getting scratched from all the dust on my desk, I put it on a towel or washcloth. Battery life: is extraordinary! I've listened to it for about 5 hours so far, and the battery isn't even halfway used! And it doesn't take very long for it to charge up again when you hook it up to your computer.
Overall, five stars for the product, I love it!
about 4 1/2 stars for iTunes.
This iPod is awesome, buy it! Especially while the price is low ;-)!!!!

Reviews summary: GREAT!
Comment reviews: I got this nano a while after my old mini died. It works great! The quality is good, as always, and it's really quite cute and small, even if I worry that I'll snap it in half someday, haha. To protect your iPod I suggest you get a plastic cover thing for it, they really help--I really don't like to get my iPod smudged or scratched.
The only thing that may be a bit annoying is that the battery seems to die easily...maybe it's because it's color, or it's just my particular iPod, but the battery power tends to go out a bit faster than my old mini...other than that, it's great!

Reviews summary: free shipping!!!!
Comment reviews: My ipod nano is everything I had hoped for.I shopped and read lots of reviews, for months, before I finally decided I had to have it. I am, however dissapointed with the free shipping from Amazon. I had never spent enough to get free shipping before. I was excited to finally afford my Nano but had to wait two weeks [ one week before the seller even shipped it] to recieve it. So much for getting excited about a new purchase and saving money on shipping. That is way too long!!! Ms. Bonnie
