"Nice Looking Player But Lacks Features"
Pros: Light weight, compact, intuitive, and well built
Cons: Scratches VERY easily, expensive, and uses I-Tunes only
Summary: I had purchased this player on the I-Pod reputation alone and was disappointed to say the least. The I-Tunes program is stifling and doesn't allow you to do much, if you have an mp3 collection you MUST run them through I-Tunes to put them on the player(no drag and drop here).
I also have seen that others report that the units scratch easily (I was careful with mine), the unit did seem fragile to me.
For the price I paid for this unit I did not get much bang for my buck. Where is the FM Tuner? Where is the voice recorder? I am perplexed as to why Apple choose not to include an expansion slot on the Nano.
After about a week of use I decided this wasn't the player for me. I ended up buying the Sansa 250R which had everthing that I-Pod lacked ie...fm tuner, voice recorder, music channels, etc. This player was $50 cheaper, enabling me to pick some extra accessories, I am a happy customer! Overall the I-Pod is nice it just lacks features and lack of choice as far as how import tracks to the player.
Where to buy
