Comment: As inspiration for the new iPod nano, Apple looked to an iPod of the past - the iPod mini. With its brightly colored aluminum casing, the second-generation iPod nano looks like a mini iPod mini, available in silver (2GB or 4GB); pink, green, and blu...

Good: Aluminum body. Gapless playback. Longer battery life. Even slimmer design.

Bad: No FireWire syncing.

Bottomline: The new iPod nano is smaller, brighter, tougher, plays longer, and has double the capacity per dollar. Whats not to love? ...

Comment: The ultra-slim iPod nano was a smash hit, and Apple builds upon that initial success by making the second-generation nano even better. While the previous version was only available in white or black, the new nano comes in black, silver, blue, green and...

Good: Sound quality, excellent design, bright screen

Bad: Fingerprint smudges on backside, included earbuds are uncomfortable

Bottomline: Apple has once again raised the bar in the flash-memory based MP3 player market with its latest iPod nano. This third generation device excels in its user interface, crisp screen and ease of use.The Apple iPod nano is as beautiful as ever, sporting an ...

Comment: Take away the pretty new packaging, and Apples new iPod nano is very similar to the original. Not that thats a bad thing, of course, when you consider what a home-run Apple hit with the first nano, and that the price remains the same despite beefier ...

Comment: Just when you thought Apple had abandoned colour altogether in favour of pure black and white, along comes the second-generation iPod nano in anodised aluminium, sporting the same bright colours that made the iPod mini a hit.

Comment: There it was, hiding in Steve’s watch pocket the whole presentation, and none of us saw it coming. The iPod nano is a testament to good design engineering. The best way to explain the size of the iPod nano is to ask someone to take out a business ca...

Comment: Flash MP3 players, the kind that use no-moving-parts Flash-based memory rather than a hard disk drive, used to be the poor cousins of MP3 royalty like Apples iPod, with enough space for just a few albums and often quite cheap and tacky build quality. ...

Comment: Only in the fast-paced world of technology would the words ‘What’s old is new again’ refer to a product that’s been dead for barely a year. And yet, how else would you describe the second-generation (2G) iPod nano, but as ‘th...

Good: Bright screen, solid battery life, alphanumeric overlay browsing feature, support for voice memos, rugged exterior, bright colours, improved centre button “feel”

Bad: Earbuds won’t fit everyone, text search can be tedious, takes longer to sync than previous nano

Bottomline: The second-generation iPod nano is both a welcome step back to the more colourful (and scratch-resistant) days of the iPod mini and a moderate step forward in functionality. This middle-child iPod now feels and looks great with its rugged aluminium fi...

Comment: The iPod nano is a combination of the iPod shuffle and the regular iPod that blends the best of both worlds. It is amazingly small, yet incorporates a color screen and photo capabilities like the larger iPod. It also uses flash memory like the iPod sh...
