IPOD 3RD GENERATION 8GB MP3 PLAYER

Strengths: It is small and compact with a good battery life. Videos are clear!

Weakness: The case marks easily!

This is my first ipod! I like how compact it is and how I can take it with me wherever I go. I love the video feature and how clear the picture is. It is a great product for the price. I would purchase it again.

Spending $ 200 !!! Should be more than just an mp3...

Strengths: Very much portable !! Stylist and cute !!! Great battery life if listen to music only

Weakness: Scratches very easily, Complicate to transfer videos and Must use ITunes to sync with computer

It is very good for listening music but not so good for video as LCD is a little small to watch video for long periods of time. I was excited at first to see video but I couldn't play any of the video files that I have on my computer , as it doesn't play unless you spend time to convert it. very comfortable to hold and portable. Overall it is very nice, but a little bit highly priced.

The first iPod worth owning

Strengths: Small, thin, light, plays fluid video, the best user interface around, superb battery life, finally cost comparable to competitors of similar memory size, matte finish on front

Weakness: Glossy finish on back prone to smudging and scratches, video requires conversion time before being playable on device, can be a little too small to watch lengthy videos, size and shape...

I've never owned an iPod before because none of the flash memory based iPods were capable of playing video. Additionally, they were more expensive compared to competitors of similar sizes. Now, the cost is about the same, this new Nano can play video, and everything is about right. The battery life literally lasts 24 hours on a single charge, and it still boasts the touch-sensitive click wheel...

Small package packs a punch

Strengths: Small form factor, 8 GBs of space, matte finish, video capability

Weakness: LCD is a little small to watch video for long periods of time, not much new software

This is the third iPod nano I've owned, and it's by far the best one. Just when you think they can't make it any smaller, they surprise you with this new slim form factor. I can barely feel it when it's in my pocket. The screen is bright and clear, though a bit too small to view videos comfortably for more than 30 minutes. The controls are intuitive, indicative of all the recent Apple products....

Strengths: great big beautiful screen, movie playback

Weakness: none

Once again, Apple comes out with another excellent product! Here are some pros and cons about the nano. Pros: - Has a great big beautiful screen (2 inches) - Battery life is excellent! I got my nano about 3 weeks ago and it still hasn't died on me. - Sleek, smooth design - charge time is very quick (about 3 hours for full charge) - Interface is eye candy - sound quality is pretty decent with the...

Apple Ipod Nano 8gb, 3rd generation

Strengths: Compact design while still keeping screen size. Battery life before recharging.

Weakness: None noted at this time.

This is the second nano ipod I have purchased in the last twelve months and like this one even for because of the video playback and the ease of downloads for the Itune store.

Good for mp3s, useless for video

Strengths: Sleek design, good navigation for mp3 files

Weakness: Can't play any popular video formats. Must use ITunes to sync with computer.

I'd give player 4 stars for it's audio abilities and 0 for video, that's how I came up with average score of 2. The reason I gave 0 for video is because I couldn't play any of the video files I could find on my computer. Not the mpeg2 files I ripped from DVD, not the Avi files I downloaded from Internet, not Windows WMV files, not even Apple's own MOV format as recorded by my digital camera......

Super Slim iPod nano w/great User Interface (UI)

Strengths: Slim, UI, battery life, can play photos & videos

Weakness: Back is shiny chrome (scratches easily), small scrollwheel

This is my 2nd iPod. My first iPod was a 4gb 1st generation iPod mini in 2004. I only have about 6gb worth of music - so the nano was a great choice for me. I also go to the gym 3-4 times a week and I always bring my nano along. The battery life is very good (claimed to be around 23 hours). I did also transfer some photos and videos on the new iPod nano and they do look pretty nice. In the tech...

Ipod

Strengths: Everything

Weakness: The back of it scratches easily.

I have never had an ipod or ipod nano, but a lot of my friends have it and they let me use it sometimes. All the times that I have used one it seemed so cool.For Christmas, I have begged my mom for one , she says she will get me an ipod nano black.

The new generation of iPod Nanos remain smaller, thinner but now include video playback and photo viewing features.
