Review

I love my iPod nano it gets 5 stars but the thing that brought it down is iTunes it's so complicated to use and it takes to long to load but i love the look and features of the nano tip: when you first buy your nano it's a good idea to buy a case because it takes up dust and scratches if you don't and it will make the sleek look of your nano go away also buy a service plan because for the battery because it is ireplaceable

Review

Unless you own a computer that doesn’t have a USB 2.0 port, it’s hard not to like this iPod. Even if you never use its video capabilities, you should be pleased with its sleek design, crisp display, intuitive interface, reasonable battery life, and the myriad wonders we’ve come to expect from an iPod. And if portable video makes sense for you (and you have the wherewithal to pack your iPod with content not provided by the iTunes Music Store), you’ll find this iPod even more appealing.

iPod Touch 8GB and 16 GB Review


Introduction:

If you thought you knew what Apple was planning for its first widescreen video iPod, you were sort of right, sort of wrong. Surprising the millions of people who expected the company to add a hard disk and remove the cell phone from its iPhone design, the new iPod touch does remove the cell phone, but continues to use flash memory -- now 8GB ($299) or 16GB ($399) of it. The good news is that both versions sport an 8mm thick enclosure that's even thinner than the iPhone, and continue to include the Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) functionality found in the iPhone, enabling you to -- for the first time ever -- browse the Internet from an iPod, as well as access Wi-Fi hotspots to download music directly to the iPod from the new iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store. In essence, iPod touch is a stripped-down iPhone that shares many of the same applications but adds only two major new features to the formula: video output to a TV, and the option of extra storage capacity. One color is available -- black -- and the headphone port has interestingly been moved to the device's bottom. We'll be updating this piece with additional details and photos shortly.
