"Great product, good for my needs"

by hofman-c on March 21, 2006

Pros: Good sound quality, great screen, very nice looking, good features

Cons: Battery isnt great, no FM tuner
Summary: This product is amazing, It looks awesome, great sound quality, good quality vibrant LCD screen, very easy on the eyes, easy on my pocket(moneywise). It's true that the face of this 1GB unit is indented, but its not a bad thing, I didnt notice it after a day of use. The battery life I am not happy with, advertised as 14 hours, I only get 8 hours with the EQ on, bass booster on and the backlight set to 2 seconds and the volume at middle. Only one more problem, is that there is no FM tuner, its not a big problem, but it would be nice having one(i can just get the radio remote). The headphones are great! They stay in my ears, they have AWESOME sound quality and they are lightweight with a long cord. iTunes is quite easy to use once you get the hang of it, I have 122 songs and 16 photos and 266MB free space. The games are very entertaining and I zone out when im playing them All in all for the price, this unit is awesome, i LOVE it and would suggest it to anyone.Hope this helped.

I used to get 8 hours battery life, but for some reason it has improved to about 13 hours. I can't explain it but I'm very happy about it now, it lasts me almost 2 days now(Not non-stop)

Well, I thought this was great for awhile, but then I started noticing other MP3 players that are the same price or less then the nano but with more features. I am intrigued by the feature of video on an mp3 player. I'm keeping my nano until ("It breaks") but I'm planning on buying a PSP since they have such great features and they are about the same price as a video iPod with games, movies, memory card etc.
