A Musical Genius
Say you're listening to a song you really like and want to hear other tracks that go great with it. The Genius Playlist feature finds the songs in your music library that go great together and makes a Genius Playlist for you. It's like having your own highly intelligent, personal DJ.
Find Your Music Faster
It's even easier to find the song you want to hear. Now you can view your album art in Cover Flow. Or just press and hold the Center button to browse by album or artist. When you find the right song, press the Center button to add it to your on-the-go playlist.
Rock and Roll Over
Tilt or turn iPod nano on its side, and you'll listen, watch, and play in new ways. You can flip through your album art with Cover Flow. Or, vertically speaking, see more albums and artists on the screen at one time.
Shake Your Groove Thing
Sometimes, we could all use a little unpredictability. And now you can shake to change your music. Just give iPod nano a shake, and it shuffles to a different song in your music library. You'll always be surprised by what you'll hear.
Let the Games Begin
Now you can get in on games made especially for iPod nano and the accelerometer. They respond to the way you move, so they're immersive, addictive, and a blast. The iPod nano comes with Maze, which lets you work your way through vast mazes by tilting and moving. You can find even more games on the iTunes Store.
Even Your Photos Rock
Pull hundreds of photos from your pocket and share them wherever you go. Hold iPod nano upright and see your photos in portrait view. Turn the player on its side to see them in landscape. Your photos look beautiful in their proper aspect ratio on the vibrant, 320-by-240-resolution display.
The World's Biggest Small Screen
Watching movies, TV shows, and videos is big fun on iPod nano. And the high-resolution picture looks crisp and vivid on the 2-inch widescreen display. So you can always have a little video with you.

My first ipod
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
A week after my purchase, Apple came out with the fifth generation of this model. So am I disappointed? Not really. As my first ipod, I have enought to learn about its operation. The most important dislike is the fact that there is no owner’s manual. To learn its operation, you must go online and find your matching ipod from the dozens out there. The most important thing I learned from the online manual is, after my ipod froze up after about three days, that you have to push and hold the middle and top together for several seconds until a white “apple” appears on the darkened screen. This resets the ipod. Before I read this, I was ready to return it as defective. It has frozen up on me twice now, but I assume this isn’t a defective ipod but just a normal problem.
I dislike the ear buds and find them most uncomfortable, so I use headphones. Also, I can see why Apple sells a shield for the ipod, since it is so easy to scratch or to accidentally push buttons. I don’t have one, but it is a good idea.
Also, 16 mb is not a great deal of memory. I currently have 1 mb free. And only a fraction of my Sinatra collection is in. I probably should have bought one with more memory. Advice – buy as big as you can afford.
Way overpriced for what you get.
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I really dislike how Apple iPods seem to be dominating the digital audio player market these days. I have nothing against Apple personally, other than the fact they overprice their items and sell them as status symbols. When you buy an iPod, you are paying for the name and the notoriety that comes with owning an iPod. People would have you believe that the iPod is THE ultimate portable audio player and anything less means you either didn’t want to spend the money on quality, or you can’t afford the best. This whole snobby attitude people adopt about non-iPods is frustrating. They are NOT the best players on the market, no matter how much they advertise on this site or in stores. There are many devices out there that are just as good, if not better, that sell for half the price. Just like Mac computers, Apple jacks up their prices and squeezes their customers’ wallets by selling them average products. I have issues with this. I don’t like seeing inexperienced people taken advantage of and sold something under the assumption they are getting the best out there, when there are many, many other brands that will give them what they’re looking for, and for half the price. It irks me to see someone get suckered like that.
I’ve owned two iPods, both gifts, and neither of them made me consider my older audio players were inferior to it. First of all, you’d be insane to pay anything over $100 for 4GB of storage. That’s highway robbery. You can buy a 4GB player of another brand for less and it will be just as good for your needs. I can’t believe anyone would pay so much money (over $25 per GB).
Secondly, you have to download the iTunes software in order to sync music to the players, and I have issues with this as well. iTunes is a frustrating thing to deal with in order to transfer music to your player. The software is confusing for new users and overall cumbersome and makes syncing music such a hassle. I have had other MP3 devices that sync music without the need to download their special software–they used a drag and drop method which was far more convenient and user friendly than iTunes. iTunes, for me, is a big, big reason why I do not like iPods. I simply hate using software to get my music synced.
And for the price you pay for these things, you’d think they could devise a way to NOT have the shiny surface start chipping and scratching after a few weeks. My green Nano started looking beaten up and the green surface was chipping away to reveal the black underneath, and I didn’t even handle the thing roughly.
You have the ability to view pictures and videos, but on such a small screen, what’s the point anyway? Even the album art that shows when listening to a song is so small you cannot make anything out on it. Might as well not show it at all.
Basically, for what you shell out for an iPod, you can save a huge amount of cash and get something else for half the cost that will suit your needs. And anything you can do to avoid using iTunes is a plus in my book as well.
The iPods would be great little players if Apple stopped ripping people off and charged a reasonable price for these things, but until then I see no sense in purchasing one, other than the fact you want to keep up with the Joneses and look cool. Because that’s really all you’re paying for here…a status symbol.
great

It works great, was priced good and arrived very quickly. It was actually for my niece, but she loves it.
Just right for what I need…
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
My previous ipod was stolen… this new one performs better, is simple and just what I need.
It is Worthy!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I needed an IPOD for exercise. I didn’t like using my CLASSIC because it was too big. I had tried three other MP3 players (all battery powered) and I didn’t like the battery life. The Nano’s battery life is perfect. I workout 6 days a week for 1 1/2 hours and I don’t have to charge weekly…I simply opt to charge. Accessories purchased makes it a perfect addition to successful workouts.
