Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple iPod nano 8 GB Blue (3rd Generation) OLD MODEL
Customer Review: Hangs up - I'm returning my second one already
Summary: 2 Stars
I went to the Apple store when they received their shipment yesterday (9/6) and purchased my new Nano. After connecting it to charge it and put some music on it, I tested it and it froze after about 10 minutes of use. Couldn't get it to turn off - it wouldn't accept any input. So I let the battery die down over night and connected it next day. Still in frozen state. So I took it back today and exchanged it for another one. Connected it, put some music on it, and this one froze even before playing a tune. The software must not have been tested very well. It's not like I was doing anything unusual. Back to the Apple store tomorrow to return this, and I think I'll wait awhile to get it.
The product looks great otherwise. The screen is bright and clear. Can't wait until they work out the bugs so I can get another one.
Customer Review: Apple Nano a nono
Summary: 1 Stars
Well I purchased a Crapple Nano 3g and fully expected it to work with my sonic impact v55 which I love, but for some unknown reason Crapple decided to make video out proprietary. Apple is the only firm I have ever found to sink this low. I have tons of video equipment including projectors, cameras, computers, DVD players and you name it, none of them rquire you to use their cables. Why put all that effort into a great design only to force you to tether it with an ugly cable instead of simply docking it with it's convenient port. This could be the start of the ipod downfall...if I had the money I'd jump on this one and start a company called "Orange" and give the people a beautiful design and an interface compatible with industry standards. Who says you can't compare Apples with Oranges?Customer Review: Glad they went back to the original design

I'm reviewing this only in terms of comparison to the other generations of iPod nanos. If you're buying an iPod, you probably already know what you're in for in terms of UI, design quality, etc. My complaint is in the switch from the long body to the short stubby version. I'm a guy and I have guy hands and this form factor is difficult to use compared to the old and new generations. I can't hold it in one hand and use my thumb to control it, which is very important to me and I had become used to it with other Nanos.
So if you want the smallest Nano possible, I suppose this is the one. Otherwise, I suggest buying the 4th generation version where they wisely reverted to the design that everyone knows and loves.

I love it. i got the ipod as a early christmas gift. I had the first generation ipod with 2G. It was good i saw the second generation I wanted it,but since i just got the 1st gen. i couldn't get it. I waited and once i saw the 3rd generation came out i said i got to have it. When i first used it i was so happy it has video, and you could download games into it. The first generation didn't have those features.
Here are some pros:
It is compact
It has video
It can have more games downloaded in
You can browse the songs by their album cover
The colors gives it such a pretty look
Cons:
It is pretty thin so if you dont have a case it might break
The color can fade
Customer Review: 8GB 3rd generation Nano..sweet !!
Summary: 5 Stars
I visited an Apple store to check out the newest I pods as I wanted a smaller one for the gym and working out. The fourth generation I pods are elongated and thin, but not as cute to me as the older 3rd. generation players. I had my heart set on a pretty blue one( 3rd. generation ), but the store said "no longer available...gone !" I learned also that the third generation I pods are compatible with all my previous accessories (speakers, cables, etc.)but the fourth generation are not. Amazon to the rescue ! I bought an 8GB blue one and I love it ! My only concern is that the cable is a little hard to insert in the base and seems to be more delicate than on my older model. Other than that, it's a gem !
