Digital camera reviews of Apple iPod nano 4 GB Pink (2nd Generation)
Digital camera Review: iPod 2G refurb
Summary: 3 Stars
From the start, I've truly admired what Apple has done with their products. They're just so SEXY. Everyone's done it. They see an Apple product, and their inner child screams, "I want one, and I want one now!"
In the end, though, they're just like MS, always trying to tie you down to their particular platform/software. They are, after all, a business and you can't fault them for trying to make some money.
I finally broke down and bought an iPod specifically because it was dirt cheap. It's a 2nd generation nano refurbished unit, so it doesn't do video, but who wants to watch movies on a screen that small?
When all that's said and done, it does what it does pretty well, play music. After you set up iTunes to convert your files in to the recommended 128kbps setting and throw them on there, you're able to fit quite a large number of songs on to the device. I encode music for my music devices at a slightly lower rate, 96kbps ABR, since I can't really tell the difference (I'm definitely NOT an audiophile), which let me put a total of 2427 songs on to the device.
The battery life is surprisingly long, being able to play more than 24 hours on a full charge (on my device at least). I'm just waiting for it to inevitably die completely, at which point I'll probably pick up something else.
There are other devices out there that do more like mic recording, video, and FM tuning for the same, if not cheaper, price point. But let's face it, you don't buy an Apple product for it's extended device capabilities. You buy them for the wow factor when you show it to your friends.
Would I buy another iPod? Probably not, because it's not as easy to throw music from other web music stores on to it, besides the iTunes Music Store. You're also tied down to iTunes for complete functionality of the device. Yes, I know of alternatives, and have used them, but you can't do EVERYTHING with them.
For someone with little to no computer skills, this is a VERY good device. The interface to access music on the device is pretty much what everyone copies, and is very slick. For someone who wants more versatility, for instance being able to fill your music device from more than one computer without deleting everything on your device, I recommend going with something else. You just have to trade off the awe and wonder everyone seems to bestow on one of these little things.

Summary: 5 Stars
I love this ipod nano. It is very small and light. It has excellent battery life. It has enough room for my music library. Plus the outer casing does not scratch like the older ones. Great upgrade from apple. Once this one poops (it will be a while before it does) I will have to upgrade to the nicer cooler one that is out now.Digital camera Review: The name is the hype
Summary: 3 Stars
The big name in Mp3 players, and since its the center of hype among them, most of what you're paying for is the name. It does what its supposed to when its working. I could have gone to Wal-Mart and bought a 1Gb Mp3 player and work just as good, if not better. Ive owned the older style Nano which was a 2Gb, and this one. It sometimes resets itself midsong, and ive noted this 5-6 times. Maybe its the software inside thats causing the fowl up. Its not a bad Mp3 player, but if you're not a heavy user, and use it just for the gym and/or while you're on the bus to work, id settle for something cheaper.Digital camera Review: good machine, well-handled.
Summary: 5 Stars
These are good people with quality products and careful FAST shipping. I'll use them again.
