Digital camera reviews of Apple iPod nano 8 GB Pink (3rd Generation)
Digital camera Review: I'm very happy with this iPod!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this a couple of months ago and it's awesome.
Here's why:
- Compact design is very portable
- Flash memory much more durable than a hard drive
- Video capability rocks!
- It does games too (to my surprise)
- Menu layout is intuitive
- Battery life is quite long
While the new 4th gen nanos offer a wider selection of beautiful and vibrant colors, I prefer the shape of the 3G where the screen is above the wheel and you don't have to tilt it to the side to view. Although maybe the 4G would grow on me if I owned it.
The only place where there is room for improvement is: it should be easier to navigate to the clock. Yes, the clock shows up while music is playing and the screen is idle, but there are also times when I'm not using the iPod but I just want to glance at it to get the time and it would be nice if I could do this with less menu navigation.
If you're looking for a good case for the 3rd gen nano, I recommend this:
Contour Design Showcase nano V3 (Clear w/ Black Accents)
Some tips:
If you ever experience problems with your iPod nano, first try resetting by holding the center button and menu button down simultaneously for a few seconds. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling the firmware (can be done in iTunes and you should have your media backed up before you do this. Also, best to have the latest version of iTunes). If still having problems, take it to an Apple Store and have it serviced (free if within warranty). Mine's been pretty reliable. There was one instance when a firmware update I did caused audio to periodically stop, but I then reinstalled the firmware from scratch and experienced no further problems.
The battery life is good. I only charge it once or twice a week when I'm just listening to audio. If you are using it to watch video this will use up the battery much more quickly though. Still, you can get through a couple of movies without needing to recharge.
Also, (as with any iPod) you can rip your DVDs into iPod-playable files using the free third-party app HandBrake. Very cool!
I love this thing and never leave home without it.
Digital camera Review: Fake IPOD
Summary: 1 Stars
The IPOD I oredered from Worldwide Entprises is a complete fake. It was not at all what we ordered at all. There is no way to return or get in touch with this company. Alot of money down the drain. Digital camera Review: Great Device but Disappointed in Apple
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this product almost the same week it was released and to me it was a great upgrade from my 2nd gen nano. One year later, I was the greeted by a swift kick in my pants when Apple announced they were updating their nano with a longer, sleaker version. I was very upset to say the least. I paid a little over $200 w/ a protection plan and come to see that the 8 GB version of the 4 gen is $50 cheaper than the previous version. So what is so different from this version to the new version. Well, it has the flip thing the touch has and it has a new case design. I plan on keeping this ipod for a long time...or until I run out of space.Digital camera Review: Good choice for kids
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this one for my daughter. She is happy with it. Small and easy to pack in the pocket. Sound quality could be a bit better.Digital camera Review: iPod nano

From vinyl to 8-track to reel-to-reel, to cassettes, cd's and now this. Days of music at my disposal, anywhere, anytime. I love technology!
