Durable anodized aluminum says you won't let the rough and tumble of everyday life ruin your groove. And the attractive colors says whatever you want.

 The 2nd Generation Nano Is The Best of the 3May 02, 2008
The 1st Generation Ipod Nano was an incredible device but of course Apple would improve on it later. The 2nd Generation could go as high as 8GB compared to 4GB Max on Gen 1. The design was sleeker and sturdier. While Gen 1 was boxy and 2-toned Generation 2 was like a metal bar, truly a thing of beauty. It has a longer battery charge and is superior in every way. One could not be blamed for thinking that Generation 3 could only get better. Well - yes and no. The obvious upgrade is that you can watch video on Gen 3; you can download movies, TV shows, and music videos direct from itunes very easily. The coolness factor here should not be underestimated; it is amazing. If you are a frequent Plane / Train traveler this is a great device. Now the drawbacks: The screen is very small for video. If you're trapped somewhere this is great but how many of us are going to watch this tiny screen when we have TV's in every room. I have to believe that most people using the Nano are using it for music. Generation 3 is wider and bulkier than Gen 2. It fits awkwardly in an armband if you're walking or exercising. Also the control wheel is smaller. If you're working the controls without looking at it you'll find that it's not as easy as Gen 2 and you'll make more mistakes. Bottom line is that Generation 2 is the best of the 3. Unfortunately Apple only makes Gen 3 now. But you can buy a refurbished one directly from Apple for 150 dollars. It's like new and comes with a 1 year warranty.

SturdyMay 01, 2008
After the my husband lost the original nano I purchased, I replaced it with this one. The wheel and buttons are more difficult to press, which makes the frequency of accidental 'hits' much lower. The increased memory is also nice.
 iPod 2G refurbApr 21, 2008
From the start, I've truly admired what Apple has done with their products. They're just so SEXY. Everyone's done it. They see an Apple product, and their inner child screams, "I want one, and I want one now!"
In the end, though, they're just like MS, always trying to tie you down to their particular platform/software. They are, after all, a business and you can't fault them for trying to make some money.
I finally broke down and bought an iPod specifically because it was dirt cheap. It's a 2nd generation nano refurbished unit, so it doesn't do video, but who wants to watch movies on a screen that small?
When all that's said and done, it does what it does pretty well, play music. After you set up iTunes to convert your files in to the recommended 128kbps setting and throw them on there, you're able to fit quite a large number of songs on to the device. I encode music for my music devices at a slightly lower rate, 96kbps ABR, since I can't really tell the difference (I'm definitely NOT an audiophile), which let me put a total of 2427 songs on to the device.
The battery life is surprisingly long, being able to play more than 24 hours on a full charge (on my device at least). I'm just waiting for it to inevitably die completely, at which point I'll probably pick up something else.
There are other devices out there that do more like mic recording, video, and FM tuning for the same, if not cheaper, price point. But let's face it, you don't buy an Apple product for it's extended device capabilities. You buy them for the wow factor when you show it to your friends.
Would I buy another iPod? Probably not, because it's not as easy to throw music from other web music stores on to it, besides the iTunes Music Store. You're also tied down to iTunes for complete functionality of the device. Yes, I know of alternatives, and have used them, but you can't do EVERYTHING with them.
For someone with little to no computer skills, this is a VERY good device. The interface to access music on the device is pretty much what everyone copies, and is very slick. For someone who wants more versatility, for instance being able to fill your music device from more than one computer without deleting everything on your device, I recommend going with something else. You just have to trade off the awe and wonder everyone seems to bestow on one of these little things.
just great!!!!!!!!!!!!Apr 14, 2008
This ipod nano 2nd gen is just awesome. it is incredibly thin and the wheel scroll couldn't be better. I highly recommend to purchase one of this babies!!.
NiceApr 07, 2008
I love this ipod nano. It is very small and light. It has excellent battery life. It has enough room for my music library. Plus the outer casing does not scratch like the older ones. Great upgrade from apple. Once this one poops (it will be a while before it does) I will have to upgrade to the nicer cooler one that is out now.
