Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple iPod nano 2 GB Black (1st Generation) OLD MODEL
Customer Review: Thing of Genius!
Summary: 5 Stars
Words can't describe how amazing this new product is. IPOD NANO!
You might think that I am someone that has bought this product yesterday and don't know how garbage this is. Wrong! I bought it on the first day when it came out and it never lost my approval. Firstly, people say that it is so small that it can break easily. This is the most durable music product that I have ever owned. I dropped it from my head to the floor and from the shelf twice. It still works and looks beautiful. People get angry when this thing is scratched. What can you expect, it is to be portable, and the back is reflectant.
What I dissaprove is the lacking of a charger. You could charge it on the usb port which I do. So i leave the computer on for around four hours lol. The size is amazing. It is so portable that I can listen to it all day, which I do. The screen is crisp and clear, comparing to my cell phone with the same size. I'm suprised that it has a six lines of text on it and photo playback! The click wheel is a thing of genius. It is like two diffent sets of buttons in one. The headphones are great but get a bit tistorted while playing loud. I have 350 songs on it at this moment, but I would recommend getting the 4 gb. I am returning mine for the 4 gb. The orignal ipod cost the same much with 20gb but I'm sticking with the Nano.
Pros:
Ultra Small
Fast downloading (half a sec per song)
shiny back lol
Crisp screen
clickwheel
Cons:
No charger (USB PORT)
Scratches easily (not a problem)
Too much attention
Beware! This gathers too much attention, it could get stolen easily.
All in all, this is my best investment, and I highly recommend you getting this. 10 Stars!
Customer Review: nifty little gadget
Summary: 5 Stars
Before buying i read the below reviews. GLAD I DID.however it is a FANTASTIC little gadget. despite it took me a day or so to master and im still having a little trouble with how gentle the scroll touch is.
1) the PLUG is separate! strange but true, i thought people were joking but i ordered one anyway, even though this comes with the USB cables, chamoix case etc it doesnt have an AC plug.
2) KEEP THE PLASTIC ON, i have only had this a few days and i decided to keep the screen plastic on the front and just trim the pull tab off. Like a palmtop the facia is very delicate and i have already noticed a few light scratches just from having it in my pocket. if you've already done this spend the few $ to buy the screen protectors for a palmtop and just trim it to size
3) the size. Well i tend to switch out my playlists to my mood anyway and it is fairly fast, HOWEVER, i could not fit more than a single playlist at a time so the size is a little bit limiting.
4) in case any tech savies care the new game packages such as HALO etc that are planned for the next year or so to go on the ipod probably will not fit on this AS WELL AS your music. If you want anything other than a fairly basic music player then opt for the bigger better ones.
5) THE ACTUAL SIZE: i also could not believe the size. i have seen the ads etc but when it finally arrived and i opened the case i almost couldnt find it because i thought it was just a picture that was part if the package. silly but true. it is tiny! however it also seemes very delicate because of this and im terrified of causing major damage by the slightest unintentional action such as leaving it in my bag and having somehting else bang against it.
Customer Review: Apple (Almost) Changes the World Instead of Selling Sugared Water
Summary: 5 Stars
With so much fanfare surrounding the iPod Nano, this review seems almost unnecessary. Once again, Apple has created a fabulous product. While Steve Jobs hasn't necessarily changed the world with the Nano, he has raised the bar for mp3 players. In fact, I would argue that the iPod has been a disruptive technology with the growth of podcasts and legal music downloads. Yet, despite the iPod ecosystems, the real beauty of the iPod is its ease of use.
In my case, I had two very specific purposes for my iPod. I needed a robust device to listen to music while working out and also have the ability to categorize educational materials such as Spanish lessons. This dual function required a rugged device that could store multiple playlists for different activities. The iPod has performed well in this regard. Combined with its playlist ability, the Nano has very easy to navigate menus, allowing the user to quickly switch between different types of content.
My one major concern about the Nano, its solid-state control knob, turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Generally, I prefer hard switches that mechanically connect electrical contacts. Yet, the membrane rotary knob is very user friendly. Combining the small form factor with tremendous storage and ease of use, the iPod is a fabulous mp3 player.
Pros
Great Interface
Ecosystems
Light and thin
Ease of navigation
Streamlined data cable/battery charging cable
Cons
No FM Radio
Expensive accessories
PS - The title refers to a famous quote said Steve Jobs when he was trying to recruit Sculley, who was then head of Pepsi, as the CEO of Apple.
Customer Review: Likely the best portable music listening device ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
Smaller than a cell phone, lighter than a man's wallet, as easy to use as instant Coffee. This is THE coolest iPod to come from Apple. The iPods are famous for their non-skipping, long lasting, and easy to use interface. This is no different. It's everything you love about the iPod then add more nice features and shrink it... twice. It's robust interface and no moving parts coupled with long battery life and even cleaner sound than the original iPod, this is definitely a winner. I can't tell you how many times people stare at it when I take it out to play with it.
The Good:
* Very cool
* Color screen
* Very thin .27 inches
* Small: 3.5 inches by 1.6 inches (62% smaller than the iPod Mini)
* Long battery life: Tested mine at over 12 hours
* Fast transfer of data: ~4 minutes to fill the 2 Gigs and ~8 minutes to fill the 4 Gig.
* Synchs with Microsoft Outlook
* Games
* Workout features like lap time
* World clock
* Screen lock to prevent thieves from using a stolen Nano
* Equalizer for the sound
* Photos
* Loads album image
The Bad:
* Very limited accessories at this time
* No voice recorder
* Can't zoom or pan video
* Chrome at the back picks up fingerprints easily
* Non-adjustable EQ
* Did crash on me once
* Album image only available if you purchased the song from iTunes. Uploading your CD doesn't work.
* Will likely be out of date in a few months as Apple quickly revs on the iPod product
Customer Review: Impossible to live without
Summary: 5 Stars
it took me a long time to get and ipod nano. and now that i do, i don't ever want to part with it.
It's fantastic. it's so incredibly small, i couldn't believe when i first saw. it fits on my hand, on any pocket, sometimes i even forget it's there.
i was scared of breaking it but it's very resistent and it has impressed me.
i love all the space it offers. i made the transition from a 128mb pendrive to a 2gb ipod.
there's no comparison. at first, i didn't had enough music to fill it so i had to ask friends for music reccomendations. i also used amazon's recomendations system.
i love all it's functions. i can read books or fics or even classwork. i can have all the lyrics to the songs. i can put thousands of photos. especially icons, who show all their color and majesty on the ipod screen.
i can make a million playlist for all diferent moods and whatever. i can order by album,artist,genre,composer, whatever i want.
if suddenly i want to listen to only a couple of songs, i can make playlists on the go.
i can listen to audiobooks and put them all there. not just a few chapters at a time.
i can listen to my whole library or just one playlist. put it in random or normal.
shuffle all my playlist. or the artist. or the songs.
i can play when i'm bored.
use it as a hard-drive to transport things.
keep my calendar.
there's three things i always need. my cell phone, my camera and my ipod.
