Apple iPod Nano 2GB & 4 GB MP3 Players

By: Daniel Dwase

The iPod Nano comes in two models. A 4GB and 2GB, and two color choices - black or white.

It was designed to replace the iPod Mini and neatly fills the gap that the iPod Mini left

behind. It is thinner than a pencil and holds 1000 songs (4 GB).
It features an ultra-portable, lightweight design with a gorgeous color screen, Apple’s

patent pending Click Wheel and the ability to hold up to 1000 songs or up to 25,000 photos.

It can also be used as a photo viewer with its 1.5 inch LCD colour screen and LED backlight

offering amazing clear view of photos. The 1.5 inch high-resolution color screen is gorgeous to look at.

The screen is extremely sharp, with great contrast and allows you to display album art
while playing music, view photo slideshows or play games in full color.

On the top features a hold button to lock out the Click Wheel. This prevents accidentally

skipping to the next song or changing the volume. The bottom holds the input of the earphones

and the 30 pin connector that links it with the computer. Linking is done via a USB 2.0 cable.

When linked up, it is charged by the computer. You must make sure your computer features USB 2.0
because USB 1.1 can’t charge and no separate AC adapter is included.

iPod Nano integrates with the iTunes Music Store and iTunes digital music jukebox including an
Auto -Sync Technology that automatically downloads your digital music collection,Podcasts, photos

onto your it that keeps you up to date whenever you plug it into your computer.

The design of the is very attractive - by far the best looking iPod I have ever seen. At just
just 3.5″ high by 1.6″ wide by 0.27″ thick and weighing just 1.5 ounces, It’s just plain tiny.

But it doesn’t lose any functionality, like the iPod Shuffle does, for being small. All models

include earbud headphones, a USB 2.0 cable and a CD with iTunes for Mac and Windows.

The Verdict

The iPod Nano has a gorgeous, superslim design with a bright, photo-friendly screen. It is easy

to operate and works seamlessly with iTunes and the iTunes Music Store. Apple has definitely
improved the Nano from the iPod Mini.

The only problem with the Nano is the memory capacity. It’s at 2 or 4GB but in the near future
Apple will add much larger capacities to it. I’d like to see Bluetooth built-in as well, so that

it can play music anywhere wirelessly.

I highly recommend the iPod Nano to anyone who is just interested in listening to music and
viewing photos. The iPod Nano is another top win in the iPod family.

Pros:

1. Very small in size.

2. Great for viewing pictures.

3. Holds a lot of music for its size.

4. Best looking iPod on the market.

5. Bright colour screen.

6. Has click Wheel.

7. No skipping thanks to flash memory.

8. Synchronises quickly.

Cons:

1. Scratches very easily (iPod Nano case will do the trick).

2. Blemishes show up more drastically on the black version.

3. If care is not taken can break very easily.

4. No protective cover included.

5. No synchronizing via FireWire.
