Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple iPod nano 8 GB Blue (4th Generation) [Previous Model]Customer Review: another great ipod Summary: 5 Stars
My 14 year old daughter had worn out her mini, and got this one for her birthday. She loves it! Will know better how it performs after school has started and it goes back and forth on the bus everyday. Like the long size (i have the tiny Ipod video). Feels good in the hand, but not tiny enough to get lost. Would not fit on her old ipod speakers-wouldn't fit in the dock space. Used her b-day money to get new speakers. You can't charge the Ipod with a plug, only computer or ipod speakers. Only problem-older Ipods would show the battery charge icon, this one only has a tiny icon at the top of the screen, but it did charge. Probably saves on battery life to do it that way. Amazon had the best price, $133. and free ship.
Customer Review: Poor Battery Life Summary: 1 Stars
I got one got a 4th gen as a prize at my high school grad party and right away I didn't like it. Cover Flow is annoying and useless and the first thing I turned off. The scroll wheel on the 4th gen is worse than any other iPod. But the biggest flaw I found in this is the battery life. I turned the energy saver on, set backlight brightness low, and also set backlight to only be on 5 seconds and I can still only get like 3-5 hours of music playback depending on how often I skip a song. I thought I had a defective one but I exchanged mine for another one of a different color and it was the same way. I'm selling mine to my sister and buying a new SanDisk Sansa.I have an older one and it's the best MP3 player I've ever used.
Customer Review: Nice Product So Far Summary: 4 Stars
Just gave my Wife a Nano for Valentines Day. I have no experience with Apple products, but am pleased (so far) with the Nano. I set the Nano up for her, so I got to see the workings. It is a pretty cool product. The screen is great. The Nano itself was easy to set up and I had no difficulties. Like a lot of "computer" type things, problems are frequently "user errors". Anyway, so far, has performed well. Got it a J&R (needed it quickly!). Priced like Amazon. Only negative I see going forward is the ridiculous price Apple charges should you need a replacement battery, which will happen if the product holds up. I can't compare with Zune or others since this is only the first more expensive player I have used.
Customer Review: iPod nano 4th generation Summary: 3 Stars
This product is overall a good deal, but Apple still has a long way to go. I enjoy it somedays, I hate it others, especially since iTunes can convert my .wma music, but not my videos or movies since Apple wants to force you to buy them again in their format (they gave me some crap about liscensing). Amazon gave me the same thing. (The first thing that came to mind was "monopoly".) But anywho, it is what it is. At the end of the day, while this is a descent piece of machinery, I still wish, for more reasons then those stated above, that i would have got a MP3 player from neone but Apple. (LOL, tell me why I got all the bad memory flash backs of Macintosh from when i was in school, AFTER i bought the iPod?!)
Customer Review: Serves the purpose & works well so far Summary: 4 Stars
Having no previous experience with an Ipod I can't comment as to whether this version is an improvement or not. I purchased for my granddaughter as a replacement for a different brand mp3 player. It was received from Amazon promptly and in the expected condition. My granddaughter is very satisfied. As others have stated if you want to play through a sound system with Ipod charger you do need to verify whether your system will handle this version. My granddaughters Phillips boombox handles it fine. The 8GB is more than adequate probably for most. Very simple to operate. I would advise anyone to get a sturdy protective holder. The cheaper ones are just that...poor quality.
