10/27/05 SAFETY NOTICE
Wal Mart has pulled ALL Nano’s from inventory! They are offering a full refund to anyone who has purchased a Nano from their stores. It seems there have been issues of a battery leak that can cause severe burns. I called Best Buy and Circuit City and both stores say they are looking into a possible product recall but are still selling the units.
Well, I was excited to get my ipod nano yesterday (10/17/05) and I raced home, got it out of the box, followed the directions step by step. Other than the DO NOT DISCONNECT message appearing ALL THE TIME when it is hooked to the computer, things went fairly smooth. I dropped 89 song on the Nano and let the battery fully charge.
The BAD NEWS! First thing you will learn is your 4G Nano is really only a 3.6G nano after format. So you chunk 400MB out the window. Next thing you learn is this device will NOT hold 1000 songs even in the recommended bit-rate of 64kpbs.
Let me explain further the bit-rate. 64bit-rate is the equivillent to the old records in sound quality. When you move to 128kbps, your getting cassette or 8-track quality sound. Only at 192kbps will you begin to hear some-what digital audio on this high tech digital device!! Unfortunatly for me, all my music is in 320kbps. In other words, the better the sound quality of your file, the LESS songs you get. You will be lucky to get 350 songs @ 320kbps quality (which is true cd digital audio).
Back to the BAD news!!! It boast a 14 hour battery life. Well, I have listened to 89 songs and the battery is nearly dead. I will guess I have had less than 5 hours of listening time. 1 hour last night and 4 hours today uptil lunch. Now maybe there is a way to get 14 hours, but I don’t know how you would do it. I guess if you turn it on and leave it, dont search for songs, dont use random and turn everything off that is not required for the device to funtion. I don’t know.
My over-all opinion is, this would make an awesome player for $100. But for $250 it’s a joke and most certainly the rip off of the century.
Something else you may consider, I have heard form several different sales people from different stores (best buy, circuit city, fry’s, conn’s and compusa) that ipod batteries are notorious to throw craps after a 1 1/2 – 2 years. BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY!!!! It seems to be common knowledge that ebay sales of used devices have a battery issue. THE BATTERY CANNOT BE REPLACED, YOU HAVE TO TRASH THE DEVICE!!!!!
I am returning mine to compusa this afternoon. It has left me disappointed and with a bitter taste in my mouth with Apple. I would expect far more than an ad campaign of mis-leading information and it leads me to question the capability of the new ipod video.
Good luck and I hope this was helpful.

Please read this review depending on your IQ rating
1-100
This is the MP3 Player especially designed for you! It is NOT compatible with ANY music service except iTunes and so you have only 1 choice! Perfect if you don’t know what you are doing! Even if you do BUY music from iTunes, NOTHING besides iTunes can play it! It leaves no space for modifications! Perfect for people like you!

I’m glad that there are still people will intelligence. As I already know, you are NOT planning on buying this iPod for yourself but for someone else. This does make a very good gift for the previous type of people mentioned. Do be careful, if you are going to give this as a gift, make sure you buy an iTunes gift certificate to go along with it.
Review for ALL people:
Sound (6/10) – Crisp treble and bass. No custom equalizer and no sound shift when you are sick and have hearing imbalances. No 3D surround sound or anything of that nature. Low noise produced.
Battery Life (1/10) – Battery lasts 4 Hours of use without navigating through songs. The battery life stated by Apple is complete bogus! Lasts 2 Hours time with photo viewing and flipping through music.
Looks (8/10) – Looks very nice and symbolizes simplicity. However, there is a little too much simplicity.
Ease of use (4/10) – Not exactly easy to use and lacks many needed controls
Overall – 4.75/10
Use if you are not so smart

I have definitely known what it has been like with so many people in the MP3 craze. It has been so popular, people aren’t buying music anymore from the basic music Mom & Pop shops anymore. While that has been the case, the ones that majority of people have went to are the Ipods. Since they came out a few years ago, Apple has truly lead the MP3 player market at least 2 to 1. While there have been so many different styles of Ipods like the regular, the Ipod mini and the shuffle, there is one that can be just easier to take anywhere your heart desires from the inside of your pocket. This is it.
The Apple Ipod nano edition, is a far better version than the lackluster Ipod Shuffle was when it was introduced. This MP3 player device can hold just about the same amount of songs as the Ipod mini, 1,000 songs, yet it is so small you can just just put it conviently anywhere. The Ipod nano has all the abilities that the regular Ipod and the Ipod mini have, with a convient LCD screen, that displays the menu and songs well. While it does have some bright spots, there is one disadvantage with this device. Although it is uniquely well, it has a short battery life, and not as much as some other MP3 players have. Even the Ipod mini have a slightly longer battery life by just only 4 hours.
While there are so many different MP3 players on the market, the Apple Ipod nano is a great buy for anybody who wants to get into the MP3 craze while it is hot. I have tried this quaint player in the stores, and I liked it a lot, and Ipod know you will too.
