"It's Not THAT Bad!"
Pros: Small and light, attractive, has a customizable main menu, is a status symbol. With good speakers the music quality is excellent. Fairly easy to operate.
Cons: Some minor operating bugs, included earbuds are horrible, lacks FM tuner, iTunes greatly slows Windows XP, only compatible with iTunes.
Summary: After weeks of researching MP3 players, I finally settled on the iPod Nano. I'm not saying it was a mistake, but perhaps there were better choices.
I like that the Nano is stylish, affordable, and lightweight. There are several problems with it, though. I am continually having to reset it. The earbuds that came with it stink. It relies almost completely on iTunes, which doesn't run too well with Windows. Also, it is reputed to be fragile and scratch easily, and the case that comes with it is very light and thin. I bought a better, soft, clear cover for about $20.
So the bottom line is, this is a great MP3 player if you like to be in style, but if you want a music player loaded with features such as FM tuner and voice recording, you probably don?t want this.
