Battery Life

It will not hold a charge so it has to stay constantly plugged in. Which for what I am using it for at the moment is fine , but it is also a little bit irritating

This is the Ipod to buy

As a 50y.o., I was reluctant to make the last leap from records and CD's to the digital age of Ipod's. But I'm glad I did, and glad I bought the 5th generation Ipod. It has a great design, great features, and was fairly easy to teach myself the process of learning how to use it. It's very satisfying to go on my daily walk and have thousands of songs I love to listen to on my Ipod, instead of having to settle for crass, commericial driven, disc jockey babble, very bad local radio stations. Can I get a witness!

Thanks Apple for making such a wonderful product.Read full review...

Great player with cool extras

What can one say about the Apple iPod? Perhaps one of the most influential portable music players around, it has become a standard of sorts by which to judge other PMPs. The 5th Gen. Nano is the last of the "big" small iPods. The Nano comes with a built-in pedometer, camera, and radio. It does all things relatively well if you take into account it's size and capabilities. Should you expect "great" photos/video from the camera? If you keep in mind what you're taking those photos/videos with then yes. The quality cannot compare to a dedicated camera and it shouldn't necessarily be comparable.

The only "miss" Apple has made with this "hit" is perhaps the built-in speaker. Considering it's probable size it is adequate, but you won't want to do a lot of listening to music that way.

I cannot say much about battery longevity as I have only used the one I have for a couple of weeks - and it is a used iPod. The little 2nd Gen. Shuffle I used to have - this one is replacing that one since I lost it - was over 2 years old and still had enough battery life to play the entire 6 hours of songs I had loaded onto it. I would guess that if properly cared for the battery life should be acceptable - if abused then maybe not so much so. I know folks like OWC used to sell battery replacements for the older iPods that came with full instructions and the tools needed to do the job. That still may be an option for the Nano's.

Would I recommend buying one? YES! I think they do most of what they are intended to do quite well. With a little care this player should last a long time.Read full review...

Awesome product.

I bought this for my son for Christmas. He is always using mine. I love my ipod. It is very easy to use & figuare out how to use. It also has so many other features that the new ones dont have. The battery life is not to good one this product, but it may be due to the fact that is was a used product.Read full review...

Perfect size and weight for running

While an older model, still provides the sound and easy access to my music. Its size and weight are perfect for sticking into a small pocket while running. Perfection!

Refurbished = New!!!

I was hesitant to purchase a refurbished item, however, having examined the price and doing some research at our local used CD/electronic/gaming stores I found this price well worth the risk. The ipod nano (5th generation) arrived in a condition I would swear was 'new'! It worked right out of the box. Was well packaged, I did not need to purchase any other element or piece. It simply worked. And worked well!! I have used it daily during workouts for almost 30 days and it has not had a single glitzch. The batterly life is more than satisfying. My children have enjoyed the video quality and capability. The nano is user friendly and intuitive. The video camera is surprisingly adequate for fun family moments when I do not have another camera with me. I will purchase 'refurbished' items again and will recommend this as an option for friendls and family!Read full review...

Great replacement for a broken mp3 player.

I use this daily to listen to my audible books. It has a long battery life and a fast recharge. The usb charging cable also adapts to my truck stereo system so I can continue my listen while driving to and from work.Read full review...
