Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple iPod nano 8 GB Black (4th Generation) [Previous Model]
Customer Review: Advancement and stagnation in one tiny package... Stagvancement?
Summary: 2 Stars
Pros:
-Sleeker, slimmer design.
-Return of the taller (better) body.
-Still easy to use, as ever.
Cons:
-STILL no support of FLAC and other superior formats.
-STILL no FM radio.
-STILL no Bluetooth/WiFi, etc.
-STILL some of the sh***iest audio quality among PMPs (I'm talking just plain abysmal).
-STILL not enough flash memory, especially given the premium price.
Final judgment:
If, like my old lady, you like what iPods have done right and can live with what they do oh-so-wrong, then you'll love the newest addition to the line. If, on the other hand, you're like me and can't live without your Cowon PMP - if substance, compatibility and audio quality are more important than style and ease of navigation - then you might want to go an Apple-free route.
Customer Review: did not live up to expectations
Summary: 3 Stars
I really wanted to like it but it has to many draw backs. Biggest is a software bug, the nano can not play a playlist in a random order, you can 'shuffle' but it will always shuffle the songs in the same order, the web lists some work-arounds for this but the fourth generation of a product absoultly should not have this sort of problem (does Apple not employ 'testers'?). All user interface is disabled when it is not held upright. The iTunes interface on your computer is poorly designed, hardly documented and defaults to assume you have less than 8gig of music. The volume control has significant delay built in.
I think three stars is generous, and I fail to see how anyone could give it five. I have had no hardware problems and it does look cool. All in all it is not worth the effort to return it.
Customer Review: A whole new world of technology
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned several other MP3 players but NONE LIKE THIS! Wow. All I can say is WOW. I had some difficulty figuring out how to change the volume and use the menu (If I had read the simple little pamphlet it would have helped...I finally did read it and solved my problems..) I thought this MP3 player would be similar to the others I had owned, but NOT.
This MP3/video player is phenomenal. I love it and will never want to own anything but this. Plays great video, quality of video is great, sound is great, apps and other options just make this a phenomenal player. Well worth the price. I got mine with a discount through Audible.com (great service!) so I got this baby so cheap I can't believe how little I paid for it. Fantastic deal, fantastic product! Cool features! (shake it to skip to another song!)
Customer Review: 4th generation nano review
Summary: 5 Stars
I love it , it works perfectly. I use it in when I am driving so I recomend that if your old one used to charge on the car, this one may not, but for $30.00 extra Scoche has a product that will fix your problem.Its hardly an inconvienence though I have seen others making it a big deal.I use it on an armband in the gym so if its sideways, if you shake it it adjusts. It has other very useful features that the second gen nano I had before did not. I was considering the touch for the internet capabilities, however I have a laptop and 2 cell phones so I personally believe I have enough internet access, and it is very small, so why complicate things with a bigger product. Amazon always sends things early and has very high quality control and follow up so thats's why they will always have my businessCustomer Review: All Around Awesome - A must have!!
Summary: 4 Stars
The fourth generation of ipod nano is by far the best yet. The video, games, and cover flow are crystal clear and it is amazingly thin and sleek. I also loved the colors available (i recommend yellow). The music quality is decent and its true that the menu wheel is a little stiff. The main reason i give it a 4 and not a 5 star review is its incompatability with things like older stereos and chargers, i however got an ipod bundle off of amazon recently that included a car charger adapter, AC charger, and a few others for only $15, i strongly recommend getting something like that for your new ipod. The only other minor complaint is the battery life, which would be expected for such a brillient screen. The cover flow option and built in accelerometer are reason enough to get this fun little ipod.
