Review of used nano with no battery life beyond plug in

Product was as stated, bought a new battery and installed it, not an easy thing to do, but still doesn't work unless plugged in, also had to replace the screen, so I'm still at ground zero. Apparently, this is in unresolvable problem with the nanos.Read full review...

Battery doesn’t last long

It’s in good shape. Sound quality is great.

I’m updating the review:
I gave 5 star previously but now it’s down to 3 because I realized that the battery life is so short. It lasts only for 2 hours with battery fully charged. Otherwise it was perfect!!!Read full review...

Okay for the money I paid for.

I needed to buy a new ipod because my other ipod was extremely old. My mind was set for either the 4th generation or 5th generation ipod nano. Ipod Touch is still pricy and most of them have cracked screens. I'm an Ipod Nano fan and this is perfect for me. I do not need camera or FM radio so 4th generation or 5th generation, it does not matter to me. I like the option to start the next song around 3 - 5 seconds before the current song ends. The two things I dislike about this product I received was the click wheel on the bottom left side of the circle is a bit damaged and need to press hard or slide hard. There is a huge dent on the front side bottom center but does not seem to affect anything except the appearance. Overall, the product I receive was in fair condition at the LEAST, and the product in general is a great device. Hope this review helped! I am happy with my new ipod.Read full review...

The 4th Gen Nano Does it Right

The 4th generation Nano, Available in capacities of 8GB, and 16GB (priced at $149 & $199 respectively) these have a scratch-resistant aluminum body and are now slimmer than ever. The unit has new rounded, contour edges that make it feel thinner than it is and feel right in your hand. The new line-up comes in a whole array of colors to match the rainbow, and to match your personality as well.

The 4th Generation Nano has completely redesigned the Nano over the 3rd generation “Fat”, and it feels like it is different on the sides when you hold it comparatively to the older generations. Stepping back to the 1st and 2nd generation designs, it takes the good of the style of the 2nd gen, along with the advancements in the “Fat” 3rd generation versions, and creates a winning design. This design is a lot thinner than it was, yet retains the 2-inch screen, though it is millimeters thinner. The new screen saves the room for viewing your tracks and playing games, but the genius comes in the flipping of the screen.

The screen with this change, still has a 2-inch viewing area, which makes it very easy to use, browse and watch. When view movies, shows, podcasts with the new Nano, the Nano should be flipped to a “widescreen” view, in which the new accelerometer changes the landscape and viewing of this device. This new Nano still has a long battery life. Apple claims that it will last 36 hours, but I was able to get just over 32 hours of playtime – which is nice… real nice. The video experience was just over 6 hours – as advertised.

Another thing about the accelerometer. The accelerometer also enables 'shake to shuffle', where a flick of the wrist will choose a random song. This feels like it has been done right. It also allows easy use of the coverflow system, which runs much smoother this time around.

The new music search functions (Genius), the brighter screen,, sound quality, smoother ease and use of coverflow, and continued games support give the new iPod added flare. The addition of voice notes won't make a difference to most people, as you'll need to buy some extra headphones with a microphone built in – but it is nice to know that it is there if you do.

The addition of Genius, an automatic playlist generator, is going to be a massive hit with iPod fans. Genius will be massive, because it will - if it works as advertised - unlock the potential of your iPod library and help keep parties jumping or evenings chilled. It will also allow Apple to recommend tracks to you by your listening tastes as well.

As a fan small MP3 players, and of the past Nano line-ups, I love this design. I really do. I think the all aluminum casing is the way to go, and I am happy again that it is all around the unit. Should you replace your old 8GB Nano (3rd Generation) with the new one? If you really want accelerometer video abilities and Genius, I would say yes. Regardless if you upgrade, or decided to wait it out, I highly recommended this device to Apple lovers and new MP3 enthusiasts alike.

Pros:
-Brighter, crisper viewing screen
-Aluminum scratch-resistant casing all around the body
-Amazing battery-life: 30+ hours plus (6+ with video)!
-Search features, cover flow, album art, Genius
-Accelerometer for video viewing and song shuffling
-Genius song selection
-Microphone capabilities
-LOTS of new colors to choose from
-Games via iTunes

Cons
-Still no built in FM tuner
-Limited space when it comes to video & gamesRead full review...

Good ipod, cheap cable

I apparently bought the wrong gen; in replacing my broken one, I thought this was the same, but I think after comparing them physically that my old one was a gen5. Still, this one works well and I haven't had a problem.

The cable which came with it was VERY flimsy. The second time I went to unplug it, the connector piece came apart. Fortunately, I still had a cable from my old ipod, but don't rely on the cable which comes with this particular one.Read full review...

Apple iPod nano chromatic Green (8 GB) MP3 Player

I bought for a friend of mine and she really likes it! She doesn't go anywhere without it.. the sound is great, and is so slim and lightweight, which is a plus for us because she uses mainly when we are out running or at the gym.. The green color is really nice. Very easy to use and practical!Read full review...

iPod nano 4th generation

The color - Green! This is the classic style and sized nano. 8gb storage, click wheel, and light weight. No camera is on-board with this version versus 5th generation. Battery life is good - 24hrs or so.

I replaced my older 2nd generation silver nano (2gb) with this one.

Only downside. Apple does not manufacture these any more... You can still find nice ones or new ones available on eBay... Just like I did!Read full review...

Ideal music player, & great value for price!

I bought this to replace my old CD player. Yes, I'm finally moving into the 21st century! I am SO glad I made the switch, because I LOVE my new iPod! The 8gb memory has more than enough room to hold all my music, and the slim design makes carrying it around a breeze. It holds a charge fairly well; although using the screen requires much more battery power than playing music. I really like the shuffle setting, as well as the Genius option. Overall great product! (& great price on eBay!!!)Read full review...

Great buy for ages big and small! Pretty much everyone

The new 4th generation ipod or as known as the chromatic ipod nano has brought a new way of music to the music world. Watch videos, play games, listen to music, browse your pictures and so much more. Turn it sideways to see your different albums, to play games, or even view your pics or videos. The new genius option is a great new option instead of having shuffle on. It chooses music that goes great together and if you want to shuffle to a new song just give your ipod a good shake. The screen has amazing quality same with the sound quality. If you buy it from the apple store then you can get free engraving on the back. I bought this because of the slim new design as well as it being a great new innovative mp3 player. They offer these in 8 or 16 gig sizes but the 8 will probably be enough. If you have any questions feel free to ask.Read full review...

I use a small make-up bag, to hold my iPod, charger,and earphones...all organized- in minimal space, in my purse... I truly wish I had purchased one for myself sooner...Read full review...
