 Outstanding December 1, 2009

I'd always avoided iPods like the proverbial plague. After hearing numerous reports of weak earphones, tinny sound and the domineering iTunes, it sounded like a world of pain to me. So, 5 years ago I bought a Creative Zen, was very happy with it and would never look at anything else. Then, a pc upgrade rendered my "old tech" Zen unusable and I had to consider a replacement. Creative's range was uninspring and I found myself looking at iPod's again.
All I can say is...wow. What a little marvel. Sound being the most important, I was blown away by how good the 5th gen nano sounds. I don't see why good sound should be sacrificed for portability and the 5th gen exceeds any expectations. On all other portable players I've bought, I've always swapped the earphones that came with it for more expensive models but the standard are so comfortable and snug. My music has never sounded so good, it is a joy to listen to on my 2 hour to and back from work. No matter what song I play, the sound is fluid, has bounce and handles bass/treble and mid ranges with ease.
The 5th gen is super slim but packs such a punch, a beautiful finish, large screen and weighs nothing. I recommend a hard case for it though, I can see it easily scratched. I have to applaud Apple's forward thinking, instead of re-releasing the nano with nothing new, the difference between the 4th & 5th gen is staggering. Radio will be a major pull for some, not for me apart from if my bus is stuck in a traffic jam, the video camera and pedometer are interesting and inspired thoughts. A stills camera I would have definitely used but it's a minor whinge over a missed oportunity.
I still don't like iTunes, it's like the tail trying to wag the dog but I acquired a book about iTunes and already have navigated some of the irritating aspects about it.
So, I'm a convert. Instead of selling out, I've been missing out. I can't recommend the new nano enough, it will be interesting to see what Apple do next.
Lovely new iPod nano December 1, 2009

This is a really beautiful object. Apple ALWAYS win hands-down in the style stakes and the new iPod nano is no exception. The polished metal casings are more robust than the earlier plastic ones and the range of colours is superb. My daughter was delighted with it (it was a birthday present) and has been very pleased with all the new features. The video camera is fun (but why no still camera?) and the radio receiver is another well-received addition. She hasn't had it long, so I can't yet comment on its reliability but I never worry about purchasing such things from Amazon as the returns/refunds policy is excellent and I have never had any problem with anything I have bought in the past.

I got my Nano as I am sight impared and cant see the screen on any MP3 player.
The Nano is the only MP3 player that I am aware of that has the speaking menu option which is fantastic, it tells you every menu option, and which artist/song etc you are playing.
It has changed my life not only for listening to music, but I have loads of audio books on mine too. I havent been able to read a book for years, this is a brilliant product!! To enable the speaking menu, just plug your Nano into ITunes, and when you get the main screen come up scroll down and enable the talking menu check box, then follow on screen prompts. Its easy.
Even better September 27, 2009

The new ipod nano has many impovements, an 8GB flash drive which holds up to 2,000 songs or 8 hours video built-in video camera and large 2.2-inch colour display. It has an all-new FM radio with an innovative Live Pause feature, an amazing more vibrant colour selection, a nifty little voice memo system which allows you to say something into the built in microphone and it will store it as a memo.
So I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is wanting an even better ipod.
My First I Pod October 8, 2009

This as the title states is my first I Pod, I got it as my car has an I Pod connection, have to say it is a brilliant piece of kit. Very easy to use once you get it out of the box. Sound is very good and I also love the video and radio on it. I have loaded music on to it with ease. Mine is black and looks really smart. It is also very light yet seems very sturdy and well made. Like to thank Amazon for the speed in which it was dispatched I ordered it Sunday Afternoon and it was with me by Wednesday with the free post. I would certainly recommend this product.
