Manufacturer's Description

A thinner design. A brighter display. Up to 24 hours of battery life. Just about the only thing that hasn’t changed is the name. The 4GB iPod nano puts 1,000 songs in your pocket.(1)

Look like a rock star

Your music says a lot about you. So should your iPod nano. A super-slim design says you always have room for music — up to 1,000 songs, in fact. Durable anodized aluminum says you won’t let the rough and tumble of everyday life ruin your groove.

Carry a tune (or 1,000)

Choose a 4GB iPod nano and add a soundtrack to your life. Just use iTunes to import your CDs, shop for songs on the iTunes Store, then sync them to iPod nano. Possibly the world’s coolest photo album, iPod nano holds up to 12,500 snapshots.(2) iPod nano plays audiobooks and podcasts from the iTunes Store, too.

Light up the stage

While it can't stop the rain, iPod nano might make your day a bit brighter. 40% brighter, to be exact. Album art pops and slideshows stun on the iPod nano’s dazzling display. That means everything looks as good as it sounds.

Go on tour

Add accessories and your music stays with you at home and on the go. Of course, iPod nano itself makes a great accessory. Wear up to 1,000 songs around your neck. Run with up to five days of skip-free music on your arm. iPod nano is the new black (and pink and blue and green and silver).

Customer Reviews

Quick Reviews!
There are a few negative reviews here, whether or not they are by people who have used this new Ipod or not does not matter. Those of you who have used one in the past will know the pros and cons, and this is probably Apple's best yet. I'm not a huge fan of thin styled phones, ipod's etc, and this is easily one of the smallest, but it looks good, and as most people think 'smaller is better', then they should be very pleased. The price is also nice and competetive, especially considering the video playback, and memory capacity. It is also simple to use, and easy to set up.

The new video playback feature works well even with a small screen, as the pixel level is high. So, everything you see will be clear as you could want it to be. You may need to convert file types in order to play your videos, but this can be done easily enough online. The battery is strong- up to 5 hours of film or 24 hours of music. The new Cover Flow feature which lets you flick through your album covers so you can choose what you listen to is nice enough, though hardly essential or exciting. There are also other extras such as games, calendar, stop watch, world times, to distract you for a while, as well as a setting to check how much space is left.

There are a few games built in to the Ipod to pass the time if you're sick of staring out the bus window, Music Quiz being interesting enough, and solitaire the old favaourite. Obviously, the pink colour has been picked as a cynical ploy to get a lot of women and girls buying, and the shade of pink is gorgeous and stylish enough to show off. The most important thing is sound quality, and it is just as good as ever, improved if anything. You can easily tune out from the outside world of coughs and chat on the bus using this. The click wheel is slightly too sensitive, meaning you scroll past the song you want, and that is about the only fault I can find here. So for a simple, sleek, high quality iPod with plenty of space, this is the one you want. And it's hot pink.

Wow
Well mp3's are ok but this i-pod is amazing so many songs and colours yes i will admit it is a bit anoying at first but once you get into it its so cool.

Fantastic!!!
I got this for my birthday last year, never having had an MP3 player before and I am hooked. I love the pink colour and I also got an Intempo docking station in pink to match. I have not (touch wood) had any problems with it freezing that other people have mentioned and the 1000 song capacity is perfectly adequate for my needs. I have since purchased a skin (in pink of course) to protect it and this looks good and fits perfectly. I would definitely recommend for an easy to use, attractive mp3 player for which there are lots of accessories available (via Amazon and others).
