Just got it today and it's PERFECT.
The good: Compress it right and you can fit 40 full length movies (VisualHub is your friend), New interface rules, games big improvement on old nanos, VERY cheap
The bad: Most shops don't have any stock, so you have to order it off Apple. I'd reccommend it though, they're pretty fast (got mine in THREE days) and free engraving too.
FRom what ive seen i love it
but because i live in nz its taking a while to get here
but ive prepaid so ill get one first
The good: Everything
The bad: I havnt got it yet
i dont no why everyone is going on about how fat and ugly this is!
i saw the ad for it and fell in love straightaway! i ordered it off apple and got it in 2 days!!!
i reackon its way better than the 1st and 2nd generation. the 1st generation was really flimsy and heaps of my friends broke theirs, and both the 1st and 2nd generation were to long and uncomfortable in your pocket
The good: *It has a really bright screen *It has video! *It's cheaper than the previous generations *Its really light and comfortable in your hand *It comes with free engraving and no postage and handling if you buy it off the apple australia website
The bad: I can't really think of any besides that it only comes in silver for 4g
This device is a huge disapointement, I'm returning mine
Try before you buy!! Try locking and unlocking, and navigating with the new smaller clickwheel
The good: Very small, looks bigger on the web video support
The bad: sharp border makes it hard to hold. it's impossible to unlock and tune the volume or change tune with one hand the new 'hold' button is impossible to move without using a finger nail and holding the device with another hand screen will easily scratch if put in jean's pocket scrollwheel navigation is imprecise and sluggish compared to first generation nano
i havent got 1 yet but im saving uo for one bcoz they are soo cute and soo not fat.i love how small they are.
The good: i was gonna buy the old type but happy i didnt this 1 is soo better (8g=$279)i love the cute colours
The bad: 4g only comes in silver
i havnt got one yet, but will be getting it in the next few days and i have read everything on the internet about it there is! i think i could work it perfectley already! they look awesome!
The good: more attractive than previous nanos they support video finally!!!!
The bad: they sell out everywhere too quickley scratch easily (bad for me!!)
Cute!!! So awsome!!!Beta than the others.
The good: Everything!!! Just get 1 .. They fit speakers. Small. 8gb
The bad: cant buy a case yet Cant buy in purple colour
well, i haven't got it yet... but 'm trying 2 convince my parents... i really wnt it.. was practically drooling wen iread the review here and went 2 the apple site...
someone said that "Compress it right and you can fit 40 full length movies"... is that for the 4gb, or the 8 gb... i'm thinking about buying a 4gb, but am soooo annoyed it only comes in silver... ^__^
The good: well, as far as i can see, everything looks spectacular... the only problem is...
The bad: the 4gb only comes in silver... ^__^
So far so good...i only bought it yesterday and it is my first apple product so i was a little confused at first.......but i seem to get it now!!
The good: It looks pretty cool its relatively easy to use i like the split screen thing so as when u are looking through your music, u can see album covers. The sound is not as bad as it is made out to be!
The bad: Having to drag each individual song from iTunes to the iPod was slightly tedious.... i don't know if there is a way to drag an entire album?
I have the 2nd generation iPod nano and the original shuffle. I haven't got this new one yet but it sounds like the reviewer of this product really dislikes it compared to other ones.
The good: - so excited coz it's got video!!! - cuteee - 4GB!! - compared to nano 2nd gen, its double compacity and cheaper still XD
The bad: i'll think of some bad points as soon as i've got one
loved it when i saw it on the web, wow was the word i shouted lol,
The good: excellent video playback, and photo quallity, game function is fab and it looks sexy lol great to hold and great memory for your money
The bad: the back scratches sooooo easily, video playback drains the battery, especially on full screen brightness, and the hold button is a pain in the rear. and one more thing..... the colours are tripe, pale green and blue, and a red that looks purple, i got black cos it was colour that didn't lie. otherwise i'd date it if it was human lol
hav`nt bought mine yet but i have it on lay by!!
The good: its tiny and compact cheaper than the others and u can get an 8gb for a bit more than the the 1gb 2nd
The bad: will think of sum when i get it!!
Bought mine on the weekend and it wasn't working by Monday.
The good: I could take it back and get a refund.
The bad: Wasted my time buying this piece of sh*t.
Had it 3 weeks and it doesn't work any more.
The good: Small
The bad: Can't actually use it!
Well of this 1 month period of time my ipods's picture has lost its capibilie of showing the actual picture!
Why do people rate this with out having it??? Screws the real review rating.
The good: Small, light, vid screen.
The bad: Made by Apple, scratches easily, little flimsy, expensive.
When I first saw it I fell in love with it straight away. I haven't got one yet but it looks sooo nice and i'm going to get one soon. Why is everyone saying it's so fat. It's so cute.
The good: Comes with video Coverflow Light Good Value Cheap Thin
The bad: Back scratches easily Small screen Too small
haven't gotten it yet still saving up so didnt know what to rate however looks really good. just wanted to ask if anyone knew if other colours for d 4gb are comin out. and if u can sync videos which aren't bought from itunes but downloaded from p2p programs.
They look so awesome.
I'm getting one for my birthday. 4 days. lol. and they're so cool. they look big and fat on website but i saw someone with one on the bus and theyre so mini and cute
The good: video bigger screen split screen cover flow same price as old ones but more gigabytes
The bad: scratches easily but i protect mine 4gb only in silver
well i actually hav this ipod so i no wat im talkin bout and it it really awesome
i got the 8gb 1 cause of the colour range and also that i didnt hav 2 pay 4 it =p
The good: small cute hold lots of songs plays videos
The bad: the back of mine is already sctrached heaps
its a really cute and compact ipod. i just bought it today and its charging on my desk now. i love it to bits.
The good: - small - easy to use - has games & time on it
The bad: - back very easy to be scratched or smudged. - only comes in one colour which is silver.
great ipod. very impressed with what it can do for such a tiny weeny ipod. i got the 4gb and it does hold a lot of song.
The good: small light easy to use good games ITS AWESOME!!
The bad: scratches easily (buy a skin for it) 4gb only comes in silver doesnt come with many instructions in box takes a while to charge is actually 3.63gb not 4gb
Awesome device, loving it.
The good: -Cheap -Games -Coverflow -Design -Works with Nike -Its not just a iPod, its a friend
The bad: -Scratch prone back(so get a cover as soon as you get the device -Sound quality is rather slightly above average -Clickwheel takes time to get used to(thinner than the previous generation)
i fell in love with this as soon as i saw it, and i bought an 8gb one not long after.
it's kind of cheap compared to some of the others... but i still don't think it's worth nearly as much.
it looks really cute but yeah the back scratches really easy... but you get used to that. all ipod have scratched backs.
and also mine is starting to freeze quite a bit... i know how to restart it but it's really annoying.
i love how thin it is... you can slip it in to your pocket or your bra if you don't have a pocket lol and its so small you can't see/notice it.
i don't have a problem with the click wheel and it is actually possible to put it on hold with one hand...
The good: it looks good the spilt screen in awesome nice colours improved games VIDEO! the screen good battery life
The bad: no recerding or other new features not as much storage as other ipods the 4gb only comes in black
Ive had mine for about 4 weeks now, its really great, I just replaced my earphones with some better quailty ones other then that no problems at all
The good: great size big screen
The bad: back seems to scratch easy so buy something to protect it
Have had my iPod Nano 3G for a month now.
At first it was very faulty with only taking a day not respond to iTunes which caused alot of hassle for me. Eventually I had to re install the iPod software off the apple website seeing as the iPod was corrupt. But now the iPod is fully working.
The good: Screen size. Video quality (as long as the video isnt from you tube etc.). Memory size. Cover flow idea. Brighter screen.
The bad: High chances of iPod being corrupted out of the box. Sound quality of earphone provided. Video playback operation sometime stuffs up. Click wheel sometimes does unexpected things. Back is easily smudgable. No screen protectors provided. 4 GB is not enough for heavy users. 4 GB only comes in silver.
i bought mine on the weekend and it stuffed up by tuesday!!!!
but when it did work it was good.
why do people rate it if they havent
owned it yet?
The good: video
The bad: lasted for two days. doesnt work at all now. itunes doesnt even pick up that it is plugged in!!!! so fragile and breakable!!!!
I Actually Haven't got One Yet, But i' practically Drooling over my keyboard for i want one so Much. I had the First gen iPod Nano, With the Shiny Back And it scratches Super Easily so i'm Not looking forward To That.
The good: Finally, It Plays Video It has Downloadable games By iTunes Somewhat better Colours than iPod 2 Gen This Split screen and Album cover Panning looks Sensational
The bad: 4G has Only Silver :( And the Colours are a tad bit Pale. Games cost Money Videos are somewhat hard to get As in you have to download them and for me, Takes forever Not looking forward to that Thin Click wheel
i have had had mines since halloween and had NO PROBLEMS it worked and works fine i use it all the time i never leave my house without it !!! i think i might have the most diverse ipod ever..rock reggaeton reggae salsa merengue boleros rap freestyle bachata oldies oldschool hip hop lolz
The good: brite small and long batt life
The bad: not as loud as i would want ..i live in the bronx nyc and i take the subway and sumtimes songs arent ass loud as other's that i can hear everything in da train....easily dentable
I got one last night.
Didn't have to pay for it.XD
It is working great for me.
I just need to buy a cover before it gets scratches.
I got an 8gb green it is so cute.
The only bad thing is using iTunes.
The good: Small Cute Easy to use I love it!! Everything.
The bad: iTunes. Scratches easily.
i bought mine in an aldi store for just about 170. i found it rather easy to use but that is mainly an oppinion that differs from each person and comes with different hand sizes. i love this little ipod. its tiny compared to the classic but still easy to use. in such a short period of time technology has grown so much producing a similar but tinier version of anything.
i now sit back and wonder whats next.
is it just me or do girls find it easier to use than boys?
The Ipod is just a music player. How ever it became such a popular item, I have no idea.
Many problems with Ipods & Iphones, I think this Ipod is all fixed up :)
The good: Thin & Slim 240 x 320 Screen Good Earphones Good Software
The bad: Not Durable Itunes
i was just wondering wat kind of videos the 3 gen nano holds, cuz i downloaded a mpeg and it didnt work. plz help me.
you have to convert the video from dvd format to ipod format..
I Love It.
Its So Cute
Ok, Seriously.
If You dont want it to get scratched...
BUY A COVER/CASE!
Simple.
And Some Look Good.
I Got A Suade Case For Mine.
Very nice.
The good: Cute. Good Sound Good Size Good Software Good Everything
The bad: Aparently They Scratch Eaisily. But Thats Why You Buy A Case/Cover
got mine yesterday opn Xmas Morning, 8 gig black
screen was crooked slanting to the left, click wheel over sensitive, click sound was different (more husky) compared to the other 5 3g nano's in my house (all fresh!)
then next day, as i was watching a movie i put on it, i noticed its already got a dead pixel on the left side with another coming to the right of it...and another below...
sadly my gf's is slowly gaining dead pixels also, but on the right side going down the side of the screen....sad...hers are barely noticable, but mine are driving me up the wall
$277 for this, and its already screwy...
The good: sexy, convert movies onto it! music = P comes in black!
The bad: other colours are a tad Homosexual screen's aren't put in as well as they could be (my sister s wone is the tensiest bit crooked, but not like mine) click wheel is a horrible size, you scroll when trying to press the centre half the time. the lock button....
it is great i got mine i while ago and it is great podcasts are free from ituines and games are amazing
The good: small bright massive memory games are cool colour screen is big
The bad: the back gets fingerprints easily and you can only get a hard case to see the back but then the hard case gets scratched but it is coooooollll
mine has locked out twice, once i fixed on itunes
the other ipod wouldn't even boot read instruction
manual,perfect ..apart from those little hiccups..no proobblem( anyway if you use windows you should be used to these sort of problems)
The good: small ipod is easy to use looks great good sound and video quality price is reasonable for the 8g
The bad: locked out twice i thought apple would be a little bit more reliable itunes is a dog that should be put down
anyone had a problem with songs not playing at all, the play button wont make the songs play!!!!!
Yes i had that problem 2 days ago i recived the ipod for xmas of my husband and thursday night after xmas it wouldnt play songs i took it back and got a refund.
The good: its cute
The bad: stoped working 2 days after getting ti
Help Please!!!!! When I import a video to the iTunes library and play it, the sound is there! but when I convert and import it to my ipod nano 3gen, it plays perfectly... but without audio!!!!! please help!!! I don't know how to fix this!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU :0)
The good: * Different colors available in 8G * Supports Video * Great screen * The size it's perfect
The bad: * Battery won't last long if you play too many videos * iTunes is a headache * The back can get toooooo easily scratched
What an overpriced piece of Chinese junk! All the people who buy these things are fashion victims. Just like the Macs they are overrated and overpriced. I ended up investing in a copy on eBay with tons more features and it's not locked into iTunes. Jobs just keeps reeling in the suckers and they just keep lining up like slack-jawed yokels.
The good: Looks exceptionally nice as there is no doubt that the best industrial designers were brought in for the job.
The bad: Technical package is cheap and nasty. Operating system is a joke and glitchy as ever. iTunes is the biggest sucker punch out there. Suckers just keep handing over their parent's hard-earned money for this throw-away rubbish. I've heard of built-in obsolescence, but this sort of junk takes the concept to a whole new level.
Please help!!!! I have 227 songs on here and they're all listed but when I play some of them it says it's playing but no sound and the status bar at the bottom of the screen won't move.
Please HELP!!!!!
The good: Nice size, colour and screen.
The bad: My stupid songs won't work.
I love my iPod so much! Best little bit of tecnology ever made ..... YET! Everyone should stop complaining if hey dont like it take it back and get ur money ... even if it did have all those things wrong with it ( which it doesnt) the good things would easily out rank the bad!!
The good: It is SO cute!! The blue colour skin is awesome! .. Very bright!
The bad: People actually spend there time on this website pick out the bad bits about the iPod ... i would like to see you make something better! And if you do tell me about it .. i would like to hear of ur "sucess"
Its a nice little model, and its good, but its really hard to use the click wheel.
The good: Small, nice quality of sound, light, plays videos.
The bad: Click wheel aint great, its hard to select songs precisely. Scratches way to easily
ii jst wana know if the ipod nano 3rg gen. is a good thing.. cos ii really hav to know cos i mite buy it.. but im not sure.. ii read all the comments && it doesnt seem too good.. but on the other hand it seems great.. so im really confused!
I have brought two of these ipod nanos,
they have both stuffed up.
the first one resets its self when not on the charger that happened in the first few weeks.
the second one recently blew it and gets red hot and says that it is flat when it has been on the charger for hours and it says it is charged when it is on.
they are terrible and if the next two i get have any problems with them i certinaly wont be getting a new one.
I love my iPod nano 3rd gen! It's so sleek and even with the 4g. in silver, I love the style. Perfect to hold all my music and videos!
The good: Love the stye and the sleekness and everything about it!
The bad: Sometimes when I'm under "coverflow" the menu screws up and you have to go back to the main menu. But thats all, not really a big deal, I mean, all technology has it's flaws.
im getting an ipod in a couple of weeks and i want to find a case. i no i can search through ebay or some where like that but i can't find any that i like. those silicone things are crap and i no id break the crystal cases in less than a day. all the ones that are decent looking and seem like they won't interfere cost $50 at least. can anyone recommend anywhere that has decent cases and wont cost as much as the ipod itself???
I like everything about this iPod. iTunes works perfectly for me on my 6-year-old Windows PC, and the only issues I have with it are the scratch-magnet back (BUY A CASE BEFORE YOU EVEN GET IT OUT OF THE PACKAGING!!!) and the really sh1tty earbuds they give you.
The good: Video Cover Flow Smaller = Better Surprisingly spacious for only 4GB
The bad: Back and screen get scratched to hell in seconds Earbuds won't stay in your ears and sound like crap Album art "Black Square" glitch.
The people complain about the wheel clicker thing must have incredible fat thumbs , there is nothing wrong with it apart from the fact they fool you at the start by locking your i pod library
The good: nice features , sweet colours
The bad: they do not have that feature where you can view the full screen cover art the hold button is kinda in a bad place it was better on the old one , i think they want you to pull it of your pocket this time
I want SO want to buy an ipod. BUT everyone says different things! some people say its great and some say they hate it. WHAT DO I DO?????
The good: they sound COOL
The bad: ... u tell me!
i just got an ipod but i need to get a case. i cant find any nice cases. anyone got ideas????
I love it i got my ipod a couple of months ago but i had it stolen a few weeks after but i got a replacement 2 days ago and i still love it the only difference is with the usb connector which you have to pull it out with out pushing the buttons like on the one when first realease but its still ok.
The good: - big screen - plays video - looks good - software is great no lagging - smaller and more compact - always fit in your pocket - great features - great games
The bad: - gets dirty easily - gets too may scratches - click wheel is hard to use - very easy to get stolen - stuff for the ipod is expensive
Want to buy one but can't spare the bread? Buy one with a broken screen on ebay, then replace the screen for $10. you can get one like that for about $50.
i cant believe what some people are saying about this ipod.its just perfect, i dont get how you can get it scratched! i don't even have a case for it and it's clean as new,and i lOVE it, it's the best thing I ever had,and whats up with the earphone comments?they play great people!
I got it for christmas 2007 and its great!!
still works perfectly and it is the best looking ipod i have ever seen!!! love how it is wider than the others and i love my colour RED!
The good: it looks great good sound the screen is really bright and shows up really clearly
The bad: it scratches sooo easily, as soon as i got it out of the packet the back was scratched :( when watching movies the screen sometimes goes smaller than usual
im thinking of getting a ipod nano 4th generation. but i dont know wat colour to get pplz reckon that black shows up scratchs to easy. and they reckon silver is wicked ( but truth is i dont really like silver ) i just dunno plz help if u have songs then download i tunes and the songs get transferred to i tunes does that classifie them as i tunes cause i dont wanna pay 99c for a song!
The good: they sound wicked they r cute cool features
The bad: scratchs easy need i tunes dunno wat colour u tell me
ok well i havent got a ipod yet but just wondering what
FREAKING colour do i get? dunno.... but u gotta HELP ME! , im thinking about getting a purple one but who knows.It was kinnda hard for me too write my vote but i thought i'd give it 9 because people are saying they're pretty SPECTACULAR! and i'v seen they are gorgeously cute so i think 9! also peoplez that think they scratch to easy well get them a case DUH! doesnt take a LOSER to work that one out!
The good: ~ sounds like they are good ~ very cute! ~ have big screens ~ just love em
The bad: ~ nothing?
omg these sound soo cool and i just love the look and size, but still with a generous screen size :)
I REALLY NEED TO KNOW
in australia can you still buy these in the shops because it seems as if there being taken off the shelves for the new ipod nano 4th gen..???
i really want one for christmas but will they be available?? thanks
Over year and a half of great service from mine, despite dropping it many times. It has outlasted my laptop and is only now has been back shelved for 4gen....
The good: Durable and rarely plays up
The bad: Scratches REAL badly, and i keep thinking i lost it its so damn small
hi guys,
i got 4gb (silver) nano,it comes with few games...where can i find more games to download?via p2p programe.well i download one game but it says that game is only download in (5g 5.5g iPods only).iam so gutted.
The good: its cool..
The bad: very less memory...not happy.
i got this product about two years ago and i love it :)
i don't know what i would do without it.
i don't know what people are on about; it looks awesome and it's easy to use!
i recommend it 100%!
The good: everything except..
The bad: the 4GB (which i have) only comes in silver. i wanted pink :P oh well, just put a cover on it and you're good to go!
Design wise this is a big improvement over the 2nd gen ipod nano. Adds video and better looking album art. Small as ever. The colors are too 'pastel' for me, and the capacity really needed to be increased for the video. The cover flow is nice, but mostly a gimic if you have a lot of albums (i have over 100 on mine) There is one MAJOR bug, and that is it tends to reboot when taken out of any ipod device. This happens VERY repeatable with my iHome alarm clock and my car stereo. I have 2 ipods, the failure is identical on both. The unit takes a minute to restart, this happens about 50% of the time i change albums. HUGELY annoying, i don't know why other reviews dont mention this. Both my units sit on the shelf, i've gone back to my 2nd gen ipod. Very disappointing this one thing makes this too much of a hassle for me.
The good: Art looks better, better resolution Video is added Cover Flow is added Bigger screen More features/games Price is $50 less than 2nd gen for same capacity
The bad: MAJOR reset bug, super annoying if you dock with anything Capacity is the same as 2nd generation, but actually slightly less than 2nd gen because it loads higher res album art. Scratches/fingerprints easily (get a case) Lame color options (black is best to me)

The good: everything, really simple yet lots of features
The bad: nothing, only that the 4 gb is only available in silver
