+ Easy to use, nice to look at and great sound quality.
- scratches too easily which is very annoying, since you pay alot of money for just one item. the battery life doesn't last as long as it describes.

Bart, Marlborough
+ Very small and easy to carry in pocket. Easy organisation of music.
- Scratches too easily especially on back. Battery goes fairly quickly as backlight has to be on for you too see anything.

+ Great item, my boyfriend loves his Nano
- Scratches and damages very easily, a good protective cover is essential - maybe even two!

Elaine, Glenrothes/Fife
+ Battery life is very long. Great volume. Compact and easy to use.
- Charger isn't included in price. Alternative is using computer continuously to charge. Difficult to download music as MP3 tracks need to be converted first. ITunes need to be downloaded first. Easily damaged. Need to buy seperate holder. More accesories should be included.

Clare, Buckinghamshire
+ This IPOD is so little and light, even months after having it-I still cant get over how many songs it can store on something so teeny! Sound quality is excellent-earphones that don't hurt my ears (unlike so many walkmans/discmans I've bought in the past).Great picture quality- all in all I couldn't be with out it now!
- As it is just so little, plugging in the charger I have found to be very fiddly as I'm often scared of breaking it. Both the socket and the IPOD charger are rather rigid-handle with care. Buy a carrying case-it only take s seconds to scratch-buy a leather case and not the plastic ones as these tend to attract and hold in dust!

Manufacturer's Description
Only 6 mm (.26 inches) thin and 40 grams (1.41 oz) light, iPod nano packs a lot into its diminutive design. Up to 24 hours of battery life (1). 2GB, 4GB or 8GB of storage (2). A brighter colour display. A Dock connector that fits an entire ecosystem of iPod accessories. With features like these, iPod nano changes the way you experience your music and more. Click on a feature to see it on the iPod nano display, then read about it here.
Music
Finding and playing music on iPod nano is simple. Menu options let you browse by artist, composer, album, song, genre or playlist. Want to mix things up? Click Shuffle Songs. iPod nano makes your music look as good as it sounds, thanks to a 1.5-inch colour display. Album art appears alongside your song titles, so you see your music as you play it. And when you dare to wear iPod nano, that display guarantees you’ll say a lot without saying a word.
Podcasts
The iTunes Store features thousands of free podcasts — radio-type shows you subscribe to — including indie favourites and offerings from such big names as Ricky Gervais, BBC, National Geographic, Disney, The Daily Telegraph and many more. Browse and subscribe to podcasts, then sync them to your iPod nano and listen anytime, anywhere. Podcasts appear in their own menu on your iPod nano, so you can navigate them easily.
Audiobooks
The digital shelves of the iTunes Store are stocked with thousands of audiobooks — including such exclusives as the entire Harry Potter series — so you can catch up on your reading wherever iPod nano takes you. Browse audiobooks from their own menu on your iPod nano. iPod nano automatically recognises where you left off and bookmarks your place. You can even change the read speed to suit you.
Photos
iPod nano holds up to 25,000 photos (3) you can sync from your Mac or Windows PC via iTunes. Use the Click Wheel to scroll through photo thumbnails the same way you scroll through song titles. To see a photo full-screen, click the centre button. You can even view photo slideshows, complete with music. Just select Slideshow Settings and choose the time between slides, the transition effect and the music.
Extras
Calendars, contacts and the World Clock appear in the Extras menu, along with a few more handy items. Take the Screen Lock, for example. Spin the Click Wheel to choose a four-digit combination and protect your iPod nano from prying eyes. If you forget your combination, you can reset it at your next sync. Or use the built-in Stopwatch to log your best times. When it’s finally time to play, iPod nano features four fun games: Music Quiz, Solitaire, Brick and Parachute.
Settings
Customise menus, check capacity, change your language, change how your iPod nano sounds and more, all from the Settings menu. Click About to see how many songs are on your iPod nano and how much capacity you have left. Click Main Menu to select what items appear in your Main Menu. Tweak the built-in equalizer. Or set your maximum volume limit. Everything you need — from backlight timer to audiobook speed — appears in the Settings menu.
1. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. Battery life and the number of charge cycles vary by use and settings. See www.apple.com/uk/batteries for more information.
2. 1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
3. Photo capacity is based on iPod-viewable photos transferred from iTunes.
