This was a gift for a music lover whom had to have a nano! They wanted a small
mp3 player but wasn’t sure if this would fit the need. They love it and carry
it all the time, only problem is it’s now full so it would of worked if the music
collection is a small one. Great for a beginner music lover with a small music
collection.

Cons: you MUST register with itunes for the features to work… no opt-out… and to do that you either are required to provide a credit card or a prepaid itunes card… didn’t like that part at all, especially since I’d planned to start with cds we already had… why should I give you my credit card to add on some music I already own?
Cons: when you load an album with multiple singers (like duets), it doesn’t link the songs together as one complete album; it separates them by artist, which makes it difficult to locate the song you actually want to hear.

Pros: don’t have to buy batteries! Charge it on the computer while doing other things. (Takes 3 hours.)
Pros: this version doesn’t have video capacity: especially great for young users that you’d like to keep out of trouble, as well as for people who really don’t care for video.
Pros: TONS of memory! 16GB at the same price as the newer ones for 8GB… fantastic.
Pros: fairly intuitive set-up… you don’t really HAVE to read the manual if you don’t want to.
Pros: ? Has a few games on it that the kids quickly became addicted to, and I didn’t know they’d be on there.

I was a fan of my Ipod nano (Gen 1). When it finally broke, I bought the Nano Gen 4 I had really beat up the Gen 1 and it survived a long time. I took pretty good care of the Gen 4, and loved it until it suddenly was not able to charge up after only about 3 months of service.

Since it was well within the 1 year warranty, Apple quickly shipped a package for me to put it into and I mailed it back to their repair center. To my surprise, Apple shipped it back with a form letter stating that I had misused it and checked off a box that I had either exposed it to some form of contamination or immersed it in some sort of fluid (magically without tripping the immersion indicator). I know I had not done either of those, unless you consider normal dust as a contamination or air as a fluid.

(As a further slap in the face, the bottom of the form letter said that I would be charged $100 if I shipped it back to them again.)

I have switched to another player.

Would never buy it for myself, because Apple stuff is really only as popular as it is because of massive, expensive marketing, for which we all pay when we buy it…

Bought it for my Mom though, hoping she would use it with audio books. It’s really not that easy to use for older people with all of the technical details and Itunes DRM crap. It’s mostly an expensive paperweight to her…

Sorry i drank the cool-aid with the rest of the herd this time…

Love it! Just wish I could fit more on it, haha. It’s great, and hold just over 900 songs. Very cool.
