Apple iPod nano 8 GB Blue (4th Generation) LATEST MODEL Reviews
If you want a very compact, powerful music system, this is it. This super small unit delivers. Sound blows away my old unit, and it drives my headphones with ease (Koss Pro). My Zune died, so I bought the Nano, after reading the reviews. Setup is a breeze with iTunes-8. Playback is excellent, as are the videos.
Since this didn't impact the operation of the nano, I kept using it. The features of the nano are great but the extremely poor reliability and a warranty service that is not worth the paper it's written on make this product only worth about $2.00, not $200.00. Luckily, I was able to return the one that lasted only a week to the place of purchase (Sams Club) and they readily exchanged the defective product. Since the nano was used like any other small, electronic device (it wasn't dropped, it wasn't wetted, etc), one can only conclude these things are so fragile that they can't be used. Another nano was returned for warranty service and Apple sent it back saying that external factors caused failure. In addition, the Apple warranty service is also unnacceptable. But then the nano backlight stopped working so the screen was too dark to see the menu. After three 16GB iPod nanos with none lasting more than a few months (one week, four months, and 2 months), the reliability of this product is unnacceptable.
When I called Apple, they reiterated that the small plastic plate being off the nano voided the warranty, no exceptions. A Catch 22, even if I had returned the nano under warranty for the plate falling off, the plate falling off voided the warranty. I returned the nano under warranty but Apple sent it back saying the nano had been opened or altered based on the small plastic plate not being on the nano. In one case, the small plastic plate that covers the bottom of the nano fell off when I removed the nano from the plug cord.
the battery life (music wise it's great, but video drains it quick, I had to buy a portable battery charger that ran on 2 AA batteries cause I was going on a trip). I was amazed by how good the sound quality was, the low price, and the amount of content you can put on it. 3.
2. This is an ok portable media player. not sure if I got a lemon but mine keeps getting some technical problems (for instance the other day all my podcasts just vanished off of the device, every once in a while it freezes up and I have to hold in the menu and select buttons to get it unfroze, and when I put some songs on it they showed up under the cover art of a different band in cover flow mode).
This device is ok overall, but if you want a better device and you have the extra money I'd go for either the iPod Touch (it has a lot more features (like the apps), a way bigger screen, and wi-fi capabilities) or better yet the iPhone (it has all the stuff the iPod touch has plus 3g internet anywhere (so all of your apps work anywhere) it's a phone, and it has a camera so you can take pictures and video). however the reason I didn't give it 5 stars was 1. I hope this review helps you.
the screen size (why they couldn't have made it even just 1/2 inch bigger I don't know).
Also, doesn't always advance when I press the >> button. Turning up the volume or down is often difficult. The comments about the turn wheel are true, unlike previous editions, this one is not as sensitive. Otherwise, i like it but i would not say that it is much of an improvement over earlier editions. I also had to get it replaced for 'water' damage and the only water it was exposed to was sweat in my hands, luckily this was covered in apple's warranty.
It's the perfect size for me and can even fit in my small jeans and that says a lot. Oh, and yes you can turn off the rotate to cover flow. There's an option to turn that off as well so no problem there for me. The back click wheel really brings out the beauty in it.
It's small, very light, and because of its shape. Like I said, I don't use it much but I DO like the little games it has now 'cause of it. And more colors to choose from. It's a pretty little addition, though not exactly efficient in my opinion.
Anyway, that's my two cents on it. Should you drop your old Nano for this one. What used to charge your iPods now do not for the new generations and your iPod is always more than happy to tell you that on the screen. But it IS the Nano. Yeah, I don't really use the shake to shuffle - in my opinion, it's a little gimmicky but I do find it useful at times (though not often, it took a little bit to get used to as you have to switch it to hold before you put it anywhere so it doesn't change your song but you could always switch it off). Wish it was better, still not enough for someone like me - who is always on the move. Now to address everything else.
It's SUPPOSED to be. All that memory. Not really in the way at the gym. It's fairly comfortable in my pocket.
;). Cons -. Clear, crisp, rich in color. Sleek, stylish, comfortable in my hand. Well, I did.
When you shake to shuffle (which requires quite a shake SOMETIMES,) I find that it doesn't shuffle your current playlist but your whole song library. The aluminum casing looks and feels great. For someone who has been with them for years now, it's quite the hassle for all your accessories to suddenly be unable to charge their products. This has been by far my favorite of them all and is the most aethestically pleasing to my eye (I'd recommend a case to protect it). From the Mini to all of the other Nano generations, I own them all.
Apple changed the inner workings. Oh, and battery life. Image is clear, yes, the screen is small. Pros +. I've been with iPods ever since they first came out.
All the things in the previous Nanos, just more advanced. Great product, all in all. A little extra space never hurts, I like to watch movies and videos on it every now and then. To top it off, the screen. Genius isn't all that great, but that's something they can always keep working on.
