iPod Nano

There are portable digital music players and then there is the iPod. The iPod has dominated the MP3 Player market since its launch in 2001. Just as bursting of the sun from behind dark clouds makes for a memorable picture, similarly music from the iPod sounds better than on any other player!

The iPods have been around for so long now that we have begun to take them for granted. They are not just small and good-looking, but they are responsive, can hold lot of music, are hip ‘n cool and come in many colors to match moods. The iPod Nano is the latest offering, in a world gripped by iPod fever, from Apple’s bushel.

The iPod Nano is a hybrid version of the popular iPod Shuffle, the now discontinued Mini and of course the full sized colored iPod. The Nano uses flash memory rather than a hard drive for storage and can hold close to 1,000 tracks. While some people may find the slow speed of the controls a bit nagging one can’t really complain about the dexterity of the iPod Nano to move from one screen to the next especially while viewing pictures.

The battery for the Nano holds good for up to 14 hours. Many people may buy the Nano for it thin looks than its performance. Though, at 0/27 inches from front to back, the Nano is so small (3.5 X 1.6 inches dimensions) that it can fit neatly, inside a business card wallet! Despite its petite size and light weight (just 1.5 ounces), the iPod Nano in no way feels delicate or flimsy but is rather strong with a polymer front and stainless steel back.

The iPod Nano comes with some extra features like the Stopwatch and Screen lock, which are not found in the other iPods. The 2GB iPod Nano can be yours for $199 while the 4 GB Nano is priced at $249.

So why an iPod Nano? ‘Cause there simply isn’t another cooler iPod on the planet!
