Love it
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I had a zune but it broke on me twice and I liked it but they couldn’t fix it so I tried the bigger zune because of the internet option but it turned out not to great. So I took that back and bought the iPod nano. Boy I wish I would of bought that first. I love the fact that I can listen to it without headphones. I love that I can record videos. Plus it has a lot of other options that my zune didn’t. I’m still learning on the software but that’s no problem. I don’t write reviews but I like my iPod nano so much that I just wanted to share with others.

Amazing and Great

This is yet another great item from Apple. I didn’t really expect that the video will have a good resolution, but I was amazed when I tried the video function; it was actually the very first feature I checked, it is very clear and it actually captures every detail even the sound. 100% recommended! =)

iPod Nano 5th Not for Workout Use
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I purchased the 5th gen iPod Nano for workout use based on past experience with the Apple Shuffle reliability. Along with the nano I purchased a Belkin nano sport armband. The nano is very tempermental – music skips and the locking switch not locking all buttons. I followed online instructions to fix the problems by ensuring fully charged, toggling the hold button, then resetting the unit – this being done at least 15-times as Apple instructions are that this operation may have to be repeated multiple times. It seemed stable when I left on a business trip but at the motel it started acting up again and it was completely unusable (skipping music – unlocked buttons – sensitive to motion). When I returned home I restored the unit checked for updated software (none) and went through the same routine. It is again working okay for now. The belkin case has the earphone jack hole in the wrong place – did Apple move the jack from 4th gen? When working out with the nano it’s almost impossible to adjust the volume since unlocking the nano also activates the other buttons, which are all very sensitive. This is made especially difficult by the clear cover on the belkin, which seems to cause activation of the wrong buttons and makes the capacitive volume adjustment operate in an unpredictable way. I didn’t try the additional features, such as the video. The nano seems to be well built – nice and solid – and the sound is excellent. I have no doubt that the video features would also be superb. For obvious practical reasons, I’ll use my shuffle for now and wait for a firmware upgrade for the nano and try to find an armband more practical than the belkin. I think most 5th gen nano users would probably agree that it would be very bad form for Apple to charge for a version upgrade considering all the headaches with the existing nano firmware. If Apple doesn’t fix the problem I’ll have no choice but the chuck the nano as unusable. Hopefully Apple will do the right thing. I’m surprised they didn’t in this case …

5th gen IPod Nano

This is my first I Pod and after an exhausting study of products I chose the 5th gen Nano. I am very glad I did,

because even a techno backwards person like myself figured it out and I use it constantly.

Easy, fun, and better than I expected. And I love using it through my vehicle’s AUX system/speakers — awesome!
