Product ReviewsApple iPod nano 6th Generation 8GB - Silver (MC525LL/A)

Just the right size and feature set

It's a shame that Apple has discontinued this device. The replacement is unnecessarily large and is missing the clip that can be used to fasten the device to wherever you wish to wear it. Apple should re-introduce the 6th generation iPod nano and for people who think it's too small, introduce the pedometer and FM radio functions to the iPod touch. I wear my 6th generation nano because it is so inconspicuous and carry an iPod touch for when I want a larger screen or the WiFi and other functionalities.Read full review...

Small and Compact, But...

This ipod is small, compact, and certainly easy to workout with and run with BUT it is cumbersome to operate. I've never been a big fan of ipods, perhaps this is why. The operation of this thing is just silly. There are too many functions that require 2 finger swiping, or 2 finger sliding, or 2 finger twisting...the menu is ridiculous to navigate and the default settings reset from time to time. I would prefer a straightforward mp3 player with a few more buttons that equate to much simpler and faster navigating.. The seller here though was great with communicating and shipping.Read full review...

It's a nice little product on the go

I have previously owned a first generation ipod touch so I purchased this for a change since I got sick of carrying something the size of a phone just for tunes. I really fancy the features this product has for something its size. The ability to shake/double press the wake button to change song make it quite handy as well. Furthermore, I love the fact that I can turn it into a button pin by clipping it to the neck of my shirt and play the photo slideshow. The battery life is outstanding if you listen to local files (songs stored on the device) but it is much shorter if you are as big a live radio fan as I am. The device does not support videos or games and I could imagine it not being able to accommodate those features very well with the tiny screen it has anyway. All in all, I think it is an impressive little "music player" that is so light and convenient to carry around since most smart phones we have these days already satisfy our craves for mini games and handy apps.Read full review...

Good size, capacity and Features

The small size is nice as it doesn't take up a lot of space and clips easily to a shirt pocket which works great for me. If you have large hands like I do definitely buy the stylus, it makes it easier to make selections. The AM/FM radio is a plus. The one thing I would like to see is some kind of lock to prevent unwanted changes when handling, I often had problems with it skipping fwd or back when removing it from my pocket, again having large hands exacerbates this issue. The after market screen protectors use a film and a separate plastic frame that holds the edges of the film to the Ipod, would be nice to see something that is all in one. I found that I cannot leave the earphone plugged in and use the computer linking cable at the same time, there isn't enough room for both side by side. Maybe different earphone jacks are smaller and might resolve this prob. I've been using this since I bought it and haven't had to stop to charge if so far. I bought this originally to download audio books and so far have been satisfied with how it works to go directly to what I'm looking for.Read full review...

Beautiful and very neat to use, though a little expensive.

This is a beautifully engineered product, which just works like most apple products. Has lots of neat features like volume limiting to ensure you don't destroy your ears when you are on a train or loud area. Battery life suffers when you play around with the nifty touch screen too much, but the hard volume buttons and double click to next track are awesome advancements. So small and light it is unbelievable it can hold thousands of songs. Expensive, but was if you can get a deal or use a gift card, well worth it.Read full review...

Old Tech, New Joy

It is so nice to have single-use devices. I run a couple of times per week, and I do not like carrying my phone with me. This little unit has provided my with tunes for my run without having to deal with finicky Bluetooth headphones, arm bands, etc.

The sound quality is really solid for such a small unit, and the screen is also pretty nice.

It is a little pricey for 8GB of storage, but, you know, it’s an Apple product.

I am digging my new iPod! Ha, I bought an iPod! :-)Read full review...

Great addition to any workout! Take your music to the gym or on the road.

A bit small, yes, but I like how portable it is for the main ways I use it. As a music player for exercise and being on the go, it can't be beat. I wear the Nano on my wrist with an iWatchz band. When I'm exercising, I couldn't care less whether this plays videos. (That's something I do when I'm sitting down after a workout.) The sound quality is very good and this little player has loads of other fitness features and the ability to go to larger icons so they're easier to see. I have a Shuffle and an older Nano as well as this one and I use them for different tasks. I think they're all the very best mp3 players out there.Read full review...

Great Product!

I love my device, everything works smoothly and easily, and it's a nice small size. Only issue is I use it for a watch, and when I turn it on, it takes a few seconds to accept my request, which may be an issue for those who are impatient.Read full review...

Recomended if you have the money as it is a little pricy when new..

It's very handy, it has a lot of memory, it's pretty small, battery lasts long, the only thing i didn't liked much was the fact that it can't play videos, only music and photos, you also dont have variable zoom.. but it is still pretty awesome for the size.. I use it like it was a watch... and instead of normal photos I put mathematic formulas so that i can easily access them when doing any math-related problems...Read full review...

Overall great product, some drawbacks but overall great

I bought this product because i lost my IPOD Touch, and didn't want to spend the money to replace it but was not happy with touch mp3 players I looked at outside of the apple franchise, so this was my slightly more affordable replacement. I miss the speaker and apps on my ipod touch, but aside from that this is the perfect replacement. The pedometer feature is great, as is the radio feature but I don't think i will use the radio feature much. Overall the only downfalls is the lack of speaker and the lack of a search feature. Overall great product.Read full review...
