Product Description
All the features of the iPod nano now come in an even more compact form ? with video functions to boot!Apple proudly presents the new and improved version of its nano player: the iPod nano, with a bold new design and a larger, brighter colour screen ? but that?s not all!The iPod nano offers a video function for viewing your favourite films in exceptional quality thanks to its unprecedented pixel count (204 dpi instead of 163 dpi for earlier Apple models). And the iPod nano continues to push the envelope for multimedia entertainment, with the ability to play video Podcasts!Even the interface has been modified to make it even more user-friendly and intuitive. The Cover Flow function, for example, displays the album cover of all the music titles stored in the player?s memory, so you can flip through your music library and find your favourite tracks quickly and easily. You?ll even be able to download games onto your iPod nano to serve as a distraction during those long commutes. It has a range of basic functional features, including a calendar, international clock and a stopwatch, too!But what is more astounding than all these features is the fact that the iPod nano is even more compact than its predecessors! But have no fear - its anodized aluminium and stainless steel body reflects the same stylish design that Apple iPods are known for, and the sound quality is still as amazing as ever! Let yourself go, with the iPod nano!

Awesome ipod nano August 17, 2008
Mr. J. Hopkinson (bedfordshire, UK)
This ipod is the best i have owned. once again it only gets 4 stars! ....................... want to know why??
because of the poor quality earphones you get with them.
spend over 120 for it and the earphones are awful. mine went straight in the bin, and i splashed out for the bose in-earphones. make such a difference.
other than that the mp3 player is top notch!!!! well recomended
 A gem August 9, 2008
Mondoro (Ormskirk, Lancashire United Kingdom)
My previous portable player was an Aiwa walkman, bought cheaply a decade ago in Singapore which chewed through batteries relentlessly and tended to jump on train journeys. Early reports of poor sound quality prejudiced me against iPods, but I was persuaded to give the nano a trial after the Aiwa gave up the ghost. What a revelation! Brilliant sound, great flexibility and enormous convenience: within two weeks I had downloaded the equivalent of about 100 albums (and have at last run out of memory - but I have the equivalent of 5.2 days of music).
Gripes? Not many. The click mechanism needs to be used carefully to avoid overrunning the item you want on the menu. You need a good memory to track down some items: artists and composers are initially listed alphabetically by first names (can be a problem). The use of the 'song' as the measure is rather irritating for classical music enthusiasts: if you want to buy something over c. 6 minutes in length on iTunes, you usually have to buy the entire album: annoying if you want only one work on the album. I had some initial problems organsing transfers from my CDs, but the absence of problems later suggests the fault was mine. I used the helpline once during that time, and received some useful advice from Apple. And as many reviewers have commented, the headphones provided are not up to much - the Sennheisers recommended by many are excellent (and do not disturb others when used).
In short, a gem.

Bought this item about three months ago, and now find it indispensable. I use it everyday and have no problems with battery life, (I charge it approx once a week). I find it Very simple to use and to download media onto, and I'm a IT idiot. Very sleek, Very cool and Very brilliant.
Ipod Nano 8gb Black (3rd Gen) July 30, 2008
Mr. P. Lawrence (London UK)
Well, thought I'd add my review...my first on Amazon!
Anyway, before I begin, can I just say that I'm actually an Apple-hater!!! I don't particularly like the brand for a number of reasons including the fact that they seem to be intent on fleecing you for every little extra, even though the price tag for their products is already high! For instance, why not include an FM radio on the ipods??? No, you'll have to buy that for extra!
Anyway, enough Apple bashing. I've been trying to avoid buying an ipod for a very long time, instead buying Creative Zen mp3 players, which I must admit I really recommend - great sound, decent looks and easy on the wallet. But as both my Creative players (zen nano and zen micro) have now developed faults, I gave up the hate for ipods and purchased a black nano 8gb...
...and boy, am I amazed by it!!! Quality build is great, looks stunning in the "flesh" and must admit the coverflow is simply great to look at! So even though I'm sort of still an Apple-hater I thoroughly recommend getting an ipod - either the nano or classic - you will not be disappointed!
Also, I was dreading itunes (based on some reviews) but after using Creative Media Source software before, I actually prefer the itunes software - very user friendly and great at sorting out your existing files - it just found all my files on the laptop and imported them in a matter of minutes!
An Apple ipod convert at last...even though I'm hating myself inside! ;-)

What an item, purchased this for my wife while I got the Classic 80gb. It's such an amazing product with great sound quality and would say it is just slightly better than the classic in music quality but as with the classic, Apple has decided not to supply the sponge bits for the earphones so they tend to just slip out of your ears when walking around.
If you are thinking of watching movies on it I would go for the classic Ipod as it has a bigger screen and more juicy memory but for just playing your music collection it's great and it's so small like an after eight mint.
