Apple iPod Nano 2011 (8GB, orange)

Pros: Smaller and lighter than the touch I was using. Has its own clip so no case needed. Does not have any unnecessary features. Does not drop off my gym shorts like my touch does! Great sound and even has radio! Holds way more than a shuffle!

Cons: If you sweat a lot be certain the dock connector is not turned so that sweat could get into it. Battery life could be better as there is no way to turn the device off!

Summary: I use an ipod at the gym 6 days a week for 1.5 to 2 hours a day..and I have for years! Yeah I know I'm a gym rat. If you want a small, simple, music player that allows easy access to a clock or stopwatch to time in between sets, then get this one! If you want more bells and whistles and don't go for gadget simplicity and design simplicity, consider a touch! If you consider it a little pricey and don't need the storage capacity, go with the shuffle.
