If you are attracted to the small size of the iPod shuffle, but want to be able to hold more music on your mp3 player, and be able to see what songs you are playing, then an iPod Nano may be for you.
I can remember when the commercials for these came out. I am a Mac dork, and I was absolutely mesmerized by these ads. The Nano is so small, and it can hold so much music.
I already owned an iPod shuffle, and a regular sized first generation iPod, so I resisted the urge to rush out and purchase this new iPod creation. I actually won one of these in the fmilies.com forum contest a few months ago and it quickly became my new favorite toy.
The Nano’s main feature in my opinion is how thin it is. I can put the Nano in my pocket and not even feel it there. The Nano also has a color display that not only tells you what song you are listening to, it also displays the cover art for the album.
The Nano works alongside iTunes and will mirror the play lists and music you have on your computer. I like to build different play lists for different locations and activities and play through them. The Nano also has a few built in games for times when you’re stuck waiting in a long line with nothing to do.
The Nano is available in three different sizes: A 1GB version that holds 240 songs, a 2GB version that holds 500 songs, and a 4GB version that will hold up to 1,000 songs. You can purchase tons of accessories for the mp3 player from speakers and arm bands to even a pair of shoes.
The Nano is the official iPod of iPod + Nike a device that will allow you to use your iPod while running like a pedometer recording your distance, speed, and calories burned.
