I bought the iPod Nano 3rd Generation to replace my old mp3 player which I didn't get on with at all. Like all Apple products, i found this iPod really user-friendly and it has so many good features. The ability to have album art makes it more appealing and allows you to recognise songs visually as well as just by name. I've now had this product for nearly 3 years and I have never had any problems with whatsoever. I can't believe it's still working as it was when I bought it. The battery life is still good which, considering how much I've been using it, surprised me. I thought by now I'd be having to charge it constantly! The only thing I have had to replace is the headphones that came with the iPod but I think this is a fairly common issue with Apple headphones. However, these are easily replaceable and don't cost much. Overall, although this product is now fairly old compared with Apple's latest products, I would definitely recommend it. If Apple's newest products are of similar quality and durability then I would not hesitate to upgrade to one of them.
