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
