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

Wow
What an item, purchased this for my wife while I got the Classic 80gb. It's such an amazing product with great sound quality and would say it is just slightly better than the classic in music quality but as with the classic, Apple has decided not to supply the sponge bits for the earphones so they tend to just slip out of your ears when walking around.

If you are thinking of watching movies on it I would go for the classic Ipod as it has a bigger screen and more juicy memory but for just playing your music collection it's great and it's so small like an after eight mint.

Wow...
I brought this iPod from another store, and adored it. It's now been passed onto my granddad who also loves it. If you need your music collection at your fingertips, buy this! At an extensive 2,500 songs and then some video to boot this really is a great little device! And so small!! I only passed this one on because I needed more GB - I watch a lot of movies, and brought the 160GB iPod Classic. But this little device is gorgeous - better in black in my opnion than any other colour (It doesn't scratch!)

THE SOUND IS PANTS
I normally try to write relatively keen, elaborate reviews alighting on some angle or other glossed over by the peer reviewers. But I'll keep this simple, because it's all you need to know about this sleek, good-looking slender little credit card of a gadget:

THE SOUND IS PANTS

If the quality of your sound matters to you, look elsewhere. The ZEN products, for instance, are superior for sound quality. Apple slipped up.
