Manufacturer's 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 colours, iPod nano is stunning all around.

Overview

An anodized aluminum top and polished stainless steel back. Five eye-catching colours. 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 (1). 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.

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 colour 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.1 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, 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. All iPod games are designed specifically for the iPod interface. And all of them look great on the 2-inch colour 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.

Customer Reviews

PLEASE READ THIS!!!!
after 1 year my little sisters ipods battery died, and apple said they would fix it for £200, i told her she might aswell buy a new one. so she got this nano.

this new ipod nano design is just pathetic, the click wheel is SO small that clicking on the wrong option is a common mistake.

the hold button is in some retarded place and got some retardd shaape that is hard to find let alone use.

the PATHETIC £1 headphones suppied are just garbage. seriously.

you MUST use sucky itunes software to put anything onto the ipod. Itunes is no. 1 retarded piece of software, it is SO LAGGY even on my high spec computer, installed itunes loads up like 4 other processes that just eat away your CPU/Memory and connecting up the ipod just completely kills the program. it literally become unuseable.

it occasionly freezes up and must be "re-flashed" by connecting up to computer, not useful wen ur on the bus.

kinda over priced for what a piece of junk this really is. apple have made no step forward and this product is a pathetic piece of dirt with a fat price tag, just like any pathetic apple product.

HONESTY, if you lookin for a mp4 player, get the sony walkman a818, or creative zen.

SERIOUSLY, i own the sony walkman, and its cheaper, the headphones supplied cost £40 in the shopes

no homo software is needed just drag and drop or windows media player is u like

more battery life

better sound quality

normal navigation system

really, give it chance, read the reviews,

everyone and their dogs are walkin around with a ipod in their pocket and i cant understand why, they suxxxx.

even the zen has a SWEET memory extension where u can upgrade ur memory through SD cards.

DEAL WITH IT

Worthwhile purchase.
I use this with the nike sports kit when running. I use it to play music when working out. I use it to watch movies when travelling. In one month the iPod has become an integral part of many activities and I'd replace it straight away if it were to disappear.
It might not fit my entire music collection but as long as I am selective the iPod can fit all the music I want. Despite the small size the quality of the picture is excellent. It fits comfortably in my pocket.
I have never had to manage the battery life as it has more than enough to play a film as well as all the music I could want in a day.
It does crash occasionally which is disappointing, hopefully an update will stop that happening.

excellent little player
I bought this as a 43 year old male who had little experience of MP3 players and wanted something to listen to whilst at the gym. Its a great piece of kit, the sound is truly amazing and is ideal for using whilst on the treadmill etc at the gym. I also bought an Inique leather case for it(from amazon)to stop it getting bashed about and I cannot fault it at all. The only reservation I do have is that the instruction manual supplied with the ipod is pretty useless particularly if you are new to these, but once you go on the apple website you can read the full manuals online and it soon becomes very easy to use. Definately would buy another.
