 A great gadget and very useful for long journeys March 25, 2008

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.
amazing! February 14, 2008

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!
Wow im so glad i bought this! January 14, 2008

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.
Buy one! January 7, 2008

I was lucky enough to get one of these for Christmas and it is truly a thing of wonder. It feels great, looks great and sounds great. I downloaded a couple of games and videso from iTunes and the screen quality is superb. I have also ripped my own CDs and added some podcasts - all very straightforward in iTunes. The only slight annoyance is that some of my CDs do not have cover art and that spoils the 'Cover Flow' effect (which shows all your CD covers, just as if you were flicking through your own music collection). But basically this a whole entertainment system in one tiny device - you could not ask for more at this price.
superb lil thing! January 6, 2008

this is a replacement from my shuffle which broke down. took it to the ipod genius and it was beyond repairable.
i was choosing between this and the itouch, but couldn't justify with myself buying the itouch, i rather have the iphone.
the 3rd gen nano has functions such as video playback, and viewing photos.
8gb is enough for me, as i always change my play list everyday.
battery life is good, i had it on for the night to help me sleep and less then a quarter of the battery was used.
i just found something out today, i was using my old ipod earphones since i had the nano, as the wires was almost falling apart. i changed it to the one supplied with the device.
Apple has changed the earphones, the newer ones are better quality, and you can hear the base more from playback and is more louder then the older ones.
so those of you needing to buy new replacement earphones you should by the newer style ones that came with the nano, as the older ones are quiter and you have to turn the volume to max.
so far i only used 4gb of my ipod, about 600 songs, three music videos and some photos.
i also suggest buying accessories for the nano, such as the leather case, and the remote control. its endless how you can customize your nano.
