Manufacturer's Description

The 4GB iPod nano is a revolutionary full-featured iPod that holds 1,000 songs yet is thinner than a standard pencil and less than half the size of competitive players. The iPod nano features an ultra-portable, lightweight design with a gorgeous colour screen, Apple's patent pending Click Wheel and the ability to hold 1,000 songs or 25,000 photos. iPod nano works seamlessly with the iTunes® Music Store, the world's number one digital music service.

iPod nano is the perfect combination of innovative design, storage capacity and ease of use. iPod nano features Apple's innovative Click Wheel for precise, one-handed navigation, and its ultra-portable design fits into even the smallest pocket making it easy to take iPod nano to the gym, in the car, travelling, commuting or anywhere you go. The most fashionable and wearable iPod ever, the iPod nano features optional accessories including lanyard headphones, which integrate the headphone cables into the lanyard, so users can wear their iPod nano around their neck without dangling headphone cables. For customers looking to personalise their iPod nano with colours, an optional set of iPod nano Tubes in pink, purple, blue, green and clear offers fashionable protection in a sheer casing while enabling full operation of all functions including the Click Wheel. Optional armbands available in grey, pink, blue, red and green allow users to wear their iPod nano as the ultimate fashion and sports accessory.

Featuring seamless integration with the iTunes Music Store and the iTunes digital music jukebox, iPod nano includes Apple's patent pending Auto-Sync technology that automatically downloads a user's digital music collection, photos or Podcasts onto iPod nano and keeps it up-to-date whenever iPod nano is plugged into a Mac or Windows computer using USB 2.0. With its stunning, high-resolution colour screen, iPod nano allows users to display album art while playing music, view photo slideshows or play games in full colour. iPod nano features up to 14 hours battery life and completely skip-free playback, as well as new stopwatch, world clock and screen lock applications.

Pod nano features the same 30-pin dock connector as the iPod and iPod mini, allowing it to work effortlessly with a wide range of over 1,000 accessories developed for iPod, including home stereo speakers and iPod car adapters for an incredible music experience at home or in the car.

Customer Reviews

excellent bar the battery live...
Superb and ideal for working with. Only downside is the battery live just over four hours from charged to flat.

Never the less great for the car and against scratching and bumps buy an iskin with the double layer (less handy if using lanyard headphones as you need the outer layer off) However for going in the car essential.

The click wheel, the amount of music and pictures it can store is amazing I got 877 songs on no problem with plenty of extra space. Burning through the itunes is great and so is buying songs this way.

The ipod really did surprise me bar the battery which is not so great but it was well worth the buy for its capability and sound plus the playlist and genres is really handy. Not to beaten on that front but ashame about the battery or I would have rated higher.

Impossibly small, Impossibly good
The iPod nano is amazing you have probably heard this a thousand times but until u hold a nano you don't understand how small its is. Its really small.

I sold my 4GB iPod mini for this at it was worth it. Comparing it to the mini its a 1/3 of its side this is mostly the depth of it. the click wheel is smaller and is different its still great to use, not saying it is better or worse just different. Then you got a colour screen, its an amazing colour screen shows a lot of information with out being cluttered and makes the album artwork look good as-well.

You can also use it to view your photos the images load instantaneously making it a pleasure to use this is probably mainly down to it being flash based. As it is Flash its perfect for exercise as it will not skip and obviously its very light but also includes a stop watch with a lap function to time your exercise.

And probably the most important factor is how does it sound and the awnser is better than the mini and better than any thing ive heard music is really clear and has lots of depth. Beware though the 1000 songs is quoted for 4min tracks at 128kb/s and as i encode at 192kb/s vbr I was only able to fit around 700 tracks. The thing about this iPod is you can literally put it any where you can take it out with you even when your not planning to listen to music its that small and for this reason I give it 5 Stars

Buy one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A great alternative
I have had the 4G white nano for about a month now and have found it very easy to use. Even without looking at the instructions, the nano is extremly easy to navigate. I definatly would not go for any of the lower gig options as even 4G is a bit small, but the compact, light, and cheaper nano is better for my purposes than the chunkyer video ipods etc. I have the ipod nano lanyard headphones which are great for this item as it is just so light. I have heard that the nano is easily scratched ( which i can imagine as it does seem a little fragile) so invested in some screen protectors and I-tubes, which (although expensive) i would highly recomend. A great product for new or casual users. Apples expertise shine through in this product.
