The Bottom Line	Apple comes through again with a nearly perfect MP3 player.

No other MP3 player on the planet packs more features, from video to a pedometer, into a smaller package than the overachieving Apple iPod Nano.	Apple comes through again with a nearly perfect MP3 player.	Thanks to its limited capacity, the gorgeous iPod Nano isn't for everybody, but it sets the standard for MP3 players to come.
