Apple iPod nano First Gen. White (4 GB, MA005LL/A) MP3 Player

Pros: It is sleek, 4GB of space is alot for workout playlists, light and skip proof

Cons: Expensive for just a run buddy. Not useful without accessories at home

The Bottom Line: This is a great lightweight MP3 player. It is top end, but it shows. This is not for your entire CD collection - more portable, active lifestyles.

Review: For $250 you can buy a credit card sized MP3 (MP4) player that can hold close to 100 CDs and weighs only 1.5 ounces. THE SPECS - 14 hours average battery life - Charges and syncs using USB 2 - Both Mac and Windows compatible - Calendar, ...

Pros: easy to use, slim size, weighs nothing, just plain cool

Cons: earbuds hurt, no power adapter & costly accessories, scratches?, can't replace battery

The Bottom Line: 1st generation of Nanos w/reports of screen durability issues. I am not a sound snob so it is good enough for me. Easy to use and carry around AND LOSE!

Review: UPDATE 12-17-2005 With much sadness, I must report that my wittle, wittle, nano is now in someone else's hands. This is due to the FAULTY design of the lanyard accessory ...

Pros: Tiny, light, gorgeous, great sound. iPod therefore I am.

Cons: Capacity, poor photo functionality, headphone socket placement, no firewire or remote.

The Bottom Line: Gorgeous, superb device, but not yet perfect, Still, it's the iPod killer that none of Apple’s competitors have managed to build. If you can afford it, buy one.

Review: Call me a Luddite if you will (okay, okay, stop now) but I never really ‘got’ the Sony Walkman thing. I really love music of every variety (except, of course, country and western), and thoroughly enjoy listening to a very good audio system, so listening ...

Pros: No moving parts, easy to use, long battery life, lots of room

Cons: Prone to scratch; shiny chrome backing not ideal for tactical environment

The Bottom Line: The perfect bridge between the tiny Shuffle and the larger, hard-drive based iPod. Room for all your favorite songs, with a display so you can choose among them!

Review: The iPod nano is the missing link between the Shuffle and the bigger iPod, and may be the only player you need to take downrange with you. A while back, I wrote a review on how useful the t he iPod Shuffle You ...

Pros: SIZE! color screen, same click wheel interface, everything else...

Cons: Scratches way too easily, accessories aren't available until October 1st 2005.

The Bottom Line: Recommended. Big sound, small ( and I mean small) package. Although I put 'Music Lovers'... athletes will love this player. It's easy enough for tech newbies, too.

Review: Well, I had always thought about getting "up to date" with technology by getting an iPod, but I really didn't all the memory the 20 GB color iPod could give you. Then I turned to the mini 6 GB, but, for 50 bucks more, you got all that storage and the ...

Pros: Super small, great color screen, great sound, inexpensive

Cons: The back is a finger print magnet!

The Bottom Line: Apple's iPod nano is a super small MP3 player with all the features you could ever want!

Review: I'm extremely happy with my 4GB iPod nano! I couldn't believe how small it was! When I first got the nao I was pretty much expecting a slightly smaller iPod mini with a color screen but the nano is far from it. It's a thin as a magazine and smaller ...

Pros: Fully-functioned, take everywhere iPod

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: Hard to believe, so much for so tiny. I didn't know I missed having this Pod until I owned one. Would make a fantastic gift.

Review: It does not take long for this tiny guy to become your best friend. It is tiny, weighs nothing - it can actually dangle from the provided headset jack without crashing to the floor. This is all solid state, so should there ever be a fall, the ...

Pros: Crazy small. Crazy light. Good battery life. The perfect workout companion.

Cons: Battery doesn't last long enough for marathon-type events (double, triple centuries)

The Bottom Line: Great player. Invest in a protective case and you'll be as happy as a clam.

Review: I have been in the market for an MP3 player for a few years now. After an exhausting search, the Nano has arrived. And its everything I wanted in a player. I tend to be one of those people who research every purchase to death. I did so with my car, ...

Pros: Small, durable, light-weight, and versatile.

Cons: It's pricey and not wireless.

The Bottom Line: I would totally recommend this, everyone should own one. It has been the easiest, light-weight running companion I've ever owned.

Review: I imagine the iPod Nano will overtake the higher capacity iPods in popularity, if it hasn’t already, shortly because of its size, price, and cool factor. Apple has made the Nano smaller, without compromising much. At 3.5 x 1.6 x 0.27 inches a ...

Pros: Great durability and great size.

Cons: Could use a wider range of sound volume.

The Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend the iPod nano because of the durability and ease of using.

Review: As I was walking into the gym one morning, I noticed the majority of the people working out were listening to some kind of MP3 device. I recognized someone from school and went up and asked her what she was holding in her hand. As she continued to ...
