Apple iPod mini 1st Generation Silver (4 GB) MP3 Player

Overall
The somewhat pricey 4GB iPod Nano has just the right size for holding a “normal” (about 1000 songs) music library collection. The sound and non-skip playback are perfect enough for me. Even when considering the extra costs for accessories and the questionable screen durability and long-term battery life, I’m was very happy with my “little” nano. It is elegant and just plain cool. The songs are very easy to organize and I just love to work out with my ipod.
but,,,,





With much sadness, I must report that my very little nano was lost and thats why I have to give 4 stars instead of five for this great ipod. So heres my full review. To sum it up, Apple focused on the "cool" factor in the nano design and seems to care less about security. Since the product is so slim and light weight, one would have thought that security was part of the design spec, but alas, that's obviously not true.
Because the nano is so small and light weight, you will not notice that it's gone until it's too late, so please keep that in mind for those that tend to lose things.

I was on a Southwest flight the other night and all through the airport during my layover I had been wearing my nano. I had been listening to it and during the last 10 minutes of the flight I turned it off and that's the last time I saw it. Between walking off the plane, walking down the jetway, stopping to put on my coat, and going down the escalator and checkthrough security I lost it. I didn't hear it drop b/c I had it in my pocket and you know they are very small.


So, there you go...I'm out the the nano ($250), I just which they had some type of insurance plan or something on these things because they are so small and easy to loose. There tiny.


My only suggestion for everyone else is to get a tube or case w/some type of belt loop for the nano that you can weave the metal connector part of the lanyard THROUGH. that helps. Will I buy another yes, but this time I am going with a large one that makes aloud noise if it falls out my pocket(lol)
