Apple iPod nano (2G) 2 GB

Initial I used to own an iPod mini but unfortunately it's battery life effectively died for good shortly after the warranty. It was a bit of a pain, but I was planning on a new mp3 player for a little while. I had doubts about getting another iPod considering how the last one failed me. It was either a risky iPod nano second generation, or possibly the new Creative Zen equivalent. After seeing the looks of the iPod and the Creative compared i decided to take a risk. Plus the attractive battery life on the iPod, hopefully more reliable, persuaded me. Plus I already had iTunes. So there you go, I picked the reasonably priced Apple player and was not disappointed as I ...  Read the complete review

When the original ipod nano was released - of course I wanted one. Every child within reach of a TV or newspaper wanted one; the slender design and stunning good looks captivated the entire buying market.

Less than a year later and Apple have sprung back into the limelight with a revelation they call the ...  Read the complete review

I've had many, many many MP3 players over the last 5 or 6 years. All of them have broken, had cracked screens, came with rubbish earphones or have generally let me down. Not my iPod Nano. It is the best portable music device I have ever had. Everything from the size and shape right down to the functions. It fits perfectly into any pocket without leaving a huge bulge and has long enough headphones so that you don't have to walk around bunched up when you are listening to the music.

I have now had my nano for nearly 3 years now and it has rarely let me down. it is very easy to use with the jog dial. the software loaded is generally sufficient for an mp3 player, which after all spends most of its days in your pocket/handbag. it is very easy to load music from your itunes and even easier to rate the songs as and when your bored. battery life has never been an issue with mine. i can easily go for hours without recharging. the only problems ive had have been the locking up of the software which meant reseting it several times and the tiny tiny hold switch, it really is a good idea but could have been executed better. its just to fiddly. on a plus note ...  Read the complete review
