Customer Reviews
very impressed
This was given as a gift to me for Mother's Day, and what a great gift it is! The video is clear, and so much smoother than I expected. The capacity is huge! I have several movies loaded, and all my favorite music. It's small enough to take everywhere with me. I'm eating my words of only a few years ago when my sons got their iPods. I love this Nano!

4 gb Nano Ipod
Fantastic. Enough memory for me and excellent sound. I did find the provided ear pieces uncomfortable. I matched the unit to a Sony set ($39.95 from Amazon) and it was worlds better on my ears.

My Grandson son said it was "scary" that Grandparents were getting Ipods!!
Maybe a new market for Apple?

Love my "pod"!
As a replacement for an older iPod with a standard hard drive, the Nano is perfect. I use it mostly for holding background music for work and books on tape borrowed from the library. It's perfect for that. The sounds is terrific and I can easily feed sound to my automobile's cassette adaptor for in-car playing. The controls are intuitive, the screen color is great and the display of album covers is fun. No drawbacks to the device itself; it has played flawlessly (except for some skips on one audio book CD, which seemed related to the CD and not the iPod (knock on wood!). The device itself is light and very thin and easily fits my shirt pocket. Gotta fight the temptation to set it down and lose it! The flash drive, with no moving parts, will (we hope) make the device long-lived and durable. At less than $150, the price was right as well. If I had a few more bucks, I would have sprung for the 8GB model, but the 4GB model still holds plenty of albums and several audio books as well. With luck, it will last longer than my previous iPod, which had warranteeable battery problems, then died of unnatural causes, giving the Apple folks (damn them!) an excuse not to replace it.

My only complaint is about the built-in Klondike solitaire game. First, it's very addictive, which (granted) is my problem. But it also comes with exactly one soundtrack of strip club music, at least as the movies depict such music. But worst of all, the game seems to have the devilish habit of presenting very badly shuffled cards. You can't convince me that a deal of three jacks and three sixes is random. Hands like this are impossible to beat, and the scoring system is a bit rudimentary, only counting cards placed on the aces, not those flip up on the columns. And color me paranoid, but the more you win, the easier the hands get. Make mistakes, and you get lousy hands.
