3rd generation 4 gig nano ipod

While I prefer the shape of the 1st generation nano,my first nano,this nano holds more and has a longer time between recharging.The screen is a little small but the video is good.The sound is good.Due to it's small size and weight,I recommend putting it in a case you can hang from your neck so you won't drop it.

Apple iPod nano 3rd Generation Black (8 GB) MP3 Player

The great thing about the Apple iPod nano 3rd Generation Black (8 GB) MP3 Player is that it is small, and light weight yet you can still download tons of music to it! Although some might suggest that the other ipods may out shine this one, i beg to differ! There is nothing like a classic and this is defiently one!

I needed something small to run with...

Review For: Apple iPod nano 3rd Generation Silver (8 GB)

I was looking for a new iPod that I could easily take running with me and would not weigh down the arm I strapped it to or the hip I clipped it to. I foun the iPod Nano 3rd Generation as a perfect size and it's 8GB hard drive will let me continute to add my music to it for a while to come. I used to have one of the original iPod minis (loved it!) but I filled its capacity for songs after about a year and a half. Hopefully this iPod will last a bit longer.

I haven't had any problems with the device as of yet, but I have heard from friends of mine with the same iPod that it can get a bit tempermental. Hence, it's a good idea to go along and invest in the SquareTrade plan; it's cheap, reliable and worth investing in given the history of iPod Nanos.

Ipod Nano 3rd Gen Review

I love this Ipod!!!! I'seasy to use, easy to navigate, very portable, and great sound quality. Its compact design is perfect for me. I don't like big and bulky mp3 players. It plays video great. The only thing lacking is the click wheel games. Like come on!! It has been a while since this thing came out and it only has less than 20 games on itunes. And finding those games was a pain in the neck. But overall, it's a great product. 4/5 stars

iPod nano very useful

My boyfriend and I both have an iPod. I use my for watching videos and listening to my favorite music. As for my boyfriend, we purchased his so we can download Chinese music to it. He's trying to learn Chinese right now and he put Chinese songs on there to help his learning. It has really been useful for him. He put a song on there that counts from 1-7 in Chinese and he already knows how to count those numbers. Also, my iPod goes nicely with my stereo system in my car. I changed out my original car radio for one that has iPod ready cable and all I have to do is plug it in and it starts playing. The screen even shows song titles and I can use the radio to go into other playlists that I have.

iPod Nano Third Generation Greatness

Apple's ease of use is remarkable. I have owned another MP3 player previously and this one is even easier t o load with songs and navigate. Tons of features that other players don't give you the option of. Definitely worth paying a little extra for the Apple name to get a quality product.

Also I love the lock button which is flush along the bottom of the Nano. Other players have it on the side and is slightly raised which can easily be knocked into and drain the battery.

Apple's iPod nano

I decided to treat myself to an iPod after my oldest daughter had borrowed my old mp3 player AGAIN and misplaced it. I love all the features the nano has. The sound is great and the video is superb. Shortly after my purchase I noticed some sound issues that I quickly contacted Apple about. They were quick to address the issue & promptly replaced my iPod...no questions asked. The phone service was excellent and I was impressed with the company's willingness to make me a satisfied customer. I am again a happy iPod owner and look forward to maxing out the memory on the 4 gig nano with movies, music, and photos galore!

Nice MP3 player for the wife

The screen is bigger than my second gen. Better for pictures. The third gen is also a bit more compact. The polished stainless back is a nice touch. The wife uses a set of Bose Around-ear headphones and this set up sounds good.

The scroll wheel is too touchy and scrolls down the menus too far compared to my second gen.
I also had problems with loading music on the iPod. It was fine on the initial sync with iTunes but didn't want all the songs that iTunes put on it. iTunes gives me a bit of trouble due to auto-sync and loading all of my music in the program. It is my fault for not setting the program up properly before connecting the iPod.

I also use Media Monkey because it is more user friendly. I was going back and forth between Media Monkey and iTunes. Loaded music from Media Monkey and the songs were on the player according windows explorer and Media Monkey. But when I disconnected the player from the computer, there weren't any songs loaded. Had to restore the iPod in iTunes twice. Haven't had this problem with my second gen.

This could all be due to operator error (myself)or program compatibility problems. Still going to try to get the iPod to work with Media Monkey. a little more 'monkeying' around and will get it figured out. I like the 3rd gen.

Good Ipod Good price...

Pretty cool how apple lowered the price eh? Now the 8gb is only 200 and the 4gb is 149.... I got a new red one and love it! The video quality is excellent!! Why buy an apple ipod video if this has the same size screen and is much less in price? Well that is sort of the issue.. First of all there is only 8gbs of storage at the most wich is hardley any if you keep videos on your ipod. And the ipod Classic is only 50 more for 72 more gbs of memory space.. I like the size in all... but I got the 8gb ipod touch....... and I prefer the touch/
shh! I am keeping my nano anyway :)
