Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com Product Description
An anodized aluminum top and polished stainless steel back. Five eye-catching colors. A larger, brighter display with the most pixels per inch of any Apple display, ever. iPod nano stirs up visual effects from the outside in.

And it'll wow you for hours. Play up to 5 hours of video or up to 24 hours of audio on a single charge. All that staying power and a wafer-thin, 6.5-mm profile makes iPod nano one small big attraction.

Cover Flow
If a picture says a thousand words, think of what all the album art in your collection might say. With Cover Flow on iPod nano, you can flip through your music to find the album you want to hear. Use the Click Wheel to browse music by album cover, then select an album to flip it over and see the track list.



In addition to listening to music you can now enjoy TV shows, movies, video podcasts, and more. View iPod nano dimensions.


The iPod nano comes in a host of exciting new colors.


Play up to 5 hours of video or up to 24 hours of audio on one charge. View larger.
Music
Use the Click Wheel to adjust volume, navigate songs, browse in Cover Flow, or explore the Music menu by playlist, artist, album, song, genre, composer, and more. Want to mix things up? Click Shuffle Songs. iPod nano makes your music look as good as it sounds, thanks to its bright color display.

Movies
Buy movies from the iTunes Store and you can sync them to your iPod nano to watch anywhere, anytime. Up to 5 hours of video playback means you can watch two movies back to back. And for your viewing pleasure, the 320-by-240-pixel display--with a whopping 204 pixels per inch--is 65 percent brighter than before.

TV Shows
There's always something good on iPod nano. Browse thousands of episodes of your favorite TV shows on the iTunes Store, buy them for just $1.99 each, then sync them to your iPod nano. Watch last night's episodes this morning, or buy a whole TV series and play a pocket-size marathon.

Podcasts
The iTunes Store features thousands of free video and audio podcasts, including indie favorites and offerings from such big names as ABC News, Comedy Central, ESPN, PBS, NPR, and many more. Browse and subscribe to podcasts, then sync them to your iPod nano. You can even play video podcasts on TV using an optional Apple component or composite AV cable.

Audiobooks
The digital shelves of the iTunes Store are stocked with thousands of audiobooks--including exclusives like the entire Harry Potter series--so you can catch up on your reading wherever iPod nano takes you. iPod nano even recognizes where you left off reading and bookmarks your place.

Games
Put hours of fun at your fingertips. iPod nano comes with three games--Vortex, iQuiz, and Klondike--and you can download more from the iTunes Store for $4.99 each. All iPod games are designed specifically for the iPod interface. And all of them look great on the 2-inch color display.

Photos
iPod nano holds up to 7,000 photos you can sync from your Mac or PC via iTunes. Use the Click Wheel to scroll through photo thumbnails. To see a photo full screen, click the center button. You can even view your photo slideshows--complete with music and transitions--on a TV using an optional Apple component or composite AV cable.

Extras
Calendars, contacts, and a screen lock appear in the Extras menu, along with a few more handy items. Take the world clock, for example. Spin the Click Wheel to choose different clocks for cities all over the world. For workouts, use the built-in stopwatch to log your best times.


Product Description
It's the small iPod with one very big idea: Video. Now the world's most popular music player lets you enjoy TV shows, movies, video podcasts, and more. The larger, brighter display means amazing picture quality. In five eye-catching colors, iPod nano is stunning all around.

3 out of 5 stars iPod nano 8g   August 19, 2008
David W. Andrews
The nano is fine and performs just as it was intended to perform. The only problem that I have with it is the trouble with having to run everything back through I-Tunes. I have my music on several computers in the house and my office which causes a bit of a problem. The iPod nano must be registered and synced to ONE computer only. this is a hassle. This is a built in safety feature to deter the unit from being stolen and used by someone else but after purchasing this, I think I would have rather stayed away from the proprietary Apple product and stuck with something that didn't have to convert every other music format through their web site.


3 out of 5 stars A great product, but too expensive   August 19, 2008
J. ZHANG (Boston, MA USA)
I love the cool look. It worked ok. But way too costly for me. It would be better if it were half price!

Brian Healy (MA, USA)
I love the Nano for its size, features, and myriad of accessories. One thing I still wish it would add is AM/FM radio, but Apple doesn't seem likely to do this. The video capabilities are neat although the screen is too small to watch for very long. The nano is great as a workout companion though it is sometimes difficult to adjust the volume while on a run. Overall, I do like the nano very much and the I-tunes app, but the competing products are getting better and better.
