The good: Offers crisp, bright video playback; exceptionally thin all-metal body; above-average battery life; built-in games; an advanced user interface.

The bad: Wide body; the smaller scroll wheel; lack of video output; average-sounding audio quality.

The bottom line: The shape may have changed, but Apple's relentless attention to detail remains. The third generation of the iPod nano provides loads of entertainment for a down-to-earth price.

good replacement



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: video, small and thin
Cons: nothing.
Opinion:

Opinion:
This is the first time I bought an Ipod,I was amazed at the super thin yet powerful design. The problem was with the small scrollwheel, my fingers are small but i still find it a problem scrolling, the sound quality is way better than my not-so-old sony player.When I managed to put videos inside the ipod I was so happy coz it came out very nicely in the little player.the cover flow is interesting, seeing the album covers flowing back and forth.the biggest problem I had was syncing the videos twice in a day.

When I first got the player, I synced the music, the next day I tried to sync the new music into the ipod, it however didn't work.
A few days later it managed to sync all the songs.

The process ... Read more
