Apple iPod nano chromatic Yellow (16 GB) MP3 Player

The 4th generation Nano, Available in capacities of 8GB, and 16GB (priced at $149 & $199 respectively) these have a scratch-resistant aluminum body and are now slimmer than ever. The unit has new rounded, contour edges that make it feel thinner than it is and feel right in your hand. The new line-up comes in a whole array of colors to match the rainbow, and to match your personality as well.

The 4th Generation Nano has completely redesigned the Nano over the 3rd generation “Fat”, and it feels like it is different on the sides when you hold it comparatively to the older generations. Stepping back to the 1st and 2nd generation designs, it takes the good of the style of the 2nd gen, along with the advancements in the “Fat” 3rd generation versions, and creates a winning design. This design is a lot thinner than it was, yet retains the 2-inch screen, though it is millimeters thinner. The new screen saves the room for viewing your tracks and playing games, but the genius comes in the flipping of the screen.

The screen with this change, still has a 2-inch viewing area, which makes it very easy to use, browse and watch. When view movies, shows, podcasts with the new Nano, the Nano should be flipped to a “widescreen” view, in which the new accelerometer changes the landscape and viewing of this device. This new Nano still has a long battery life. Apple claims that it will last 36 hours, but I was able to get just over 32 hours of playtime – which is nice… real nice. The video experience was just over 6 hours – as advertised.

Another thing about the accelerometer. The accelerometer also enables 'shake to shuffle', where a flick of the wrist will choose a random song. This feels like it has been done right. It also allows easy use of the coverflow system, which runs much smoother this time around.

The new music search functions (Genius), the brighter screen,, sound quality, smoother ease and use of coverflow, and continued games support give the new iPod added flare. The addition of voice notes won't make a difference to most people, as you'll need to buy some extra headphones with a microphone built in – but it is nice to know that it is there if you do.

The addition of Genius, an automatic playlist generator, is going to be a massive hit with iPod fans. Genius will be massive, because it will - if it works as advertised - unlock the potential of your iPod library and help keep parties jumping or evenings chilled. It will also allow Apple to recommend tracks to you by your listening tastes as well.

As a fan small MP3 players, and of the past Nano line-ups, I love this design. I really do. I think the all aluminum casing is the way to go, and I am happy again that it is all around the unit. Should you replace your old 8GB Nano (3rd Generation) with the new one? If you really want accelerometer video abilities and Genius, I would say yes. Regardless if you upgrade, or decided to wait it out, I highly recommended this device to Apple lovers and new MP3 enthusiasts alike.

Pros:
-Brighter, crisper viewing screen
-Aluminum scratch-resistant casing all around the body
-Amazing battery-life: 30+ hours plus (6+ with video)!
-Search features, cover flow, album art, Genius
-Accelerometer for video viewing and song shuffling
-Genius song selection
-Microphone capabilities
-LOTS of new colors to choose from
-Games via iTunes

Cons
-Still no built in FM tuner
-Limited space when it comes to video & games

Pros...

-8gb for only $149
-16gb for only $199
-Tons of colors
-Beautiful screen
-All aluminum rather than the easily scratched mirror type backing
-Lighter than ever

Cons...

-Cover flow is an annoying feature that currently cannot be disabled and causes the iPod to only be function able when it is vertical.
-Shake to shuffle is also pretty much pointless
-Click wheel is a little unresponsive


All in all I really like my new iPod, and the only flaws could easily be solved with a firmware update - therefore I recommend getting a new Nano 4th Generation!

Excellent Purchase. It came exactly as promised and arrived very quickly. Everything was intact, functioning perfectly. I've been using it constantly for several weeks now and it is proving itself to be truly high quality.

The thing I love most about this ipod is how its perfect for not only those long bus rides and plane trips or just kickin around, but great for when i run and workout. Its sleek enough to fit in a pocket or case and light weight enough so that i dont even notice it bouncing around while i run. Its better then a shuffle because it has a screen and wheel and better then a touch because its not big bulky and heavy with a delicate screen. All around great ipod for the athlete or just average joe. 10/10 i'm not aware of any flaws for this device.

Awesome design.Amazing quality.After falling to the floor It doesn't show any scratchs and continue working perfectly.

I really love my Ipod.
16 gb is a big space to save music !

Thin and cool!

Got a 16gb for the price of an 8gb, many thanks to the seller! Works great, brand new, superb condition. Couldn't be happier with the purchase.

seller was fradulent, listed ipod as new- was not; 16gig stripped of Apple software, could not be repaired; E-Bay acknowledged problem, admitted seller was unscrupulous, offered to refund purchase price; so far have received nothing. I expected more from E-Bay but I suppose corporate wheels take some time.
All of my previous business with e-bay has been satisfactory.
Can't review product performance because unable to bet it it working.

i purchased an apple ipod, for my daughter. it can in a timely fashion, and was the condition like was advertised. Excellent job! Would recommend to a friend

I love my new iPod, it works like a charm! Such an awesome color, it psyches me up to go work out with it. It has great volume and battery life! I'm so happy i bought it!

I liked that fact it came within 3 days. The packaging was well done and delivery was sufficient. However, there was no invoice that came with the package. But it was an overall quick transaction.

I bought the 16gb nano as an upgrade for my son who has exhausted his original Ipod. The color of this chromatic is cool and the graphics are great. Knowing very little about Ipods, I was able to easily load all of his favorite songs onto the nano before I wrapped it. As for the price, this was the best bidded price for a 16gb I've seen and the item was in pristine condition!

Yes its compact and lightweight and nicer than before although the battery life is poor thats all my complain.

I chose to purchase an ipod nano chromatic off of ebay because it was less expensive that the actual apple website. I bought it for my son for x-mas. The seller was a member of ebay for quite some time and they had 100% on their ratings. So I trusted that. The item came brand new and intact. No drawbacks on the actual ipod. It works great and my son loves it!

Again Apple has raised the bar in deliving a hightech very cool MP3 player that delivers movies etc at unbelievable Quality. Thank You Mac.
