iPod Nano Review

iPod Nano is much more smaller than iPod mini! Recharging is simply plugging the iPod Nano to any host USB port - the port found on most modern PC, Mac, or laptop!

Audio quality is very good, but not with the original earphone. Its regular 3.5mm mini-jack socket doesn't support remote control enabled earphone. Good points is that iPod Nano comes with an excellent 1.5in high resolution colour screen. Not just for photos viewing, but also built for easier menu navigation. The classic Apple's elegant GUI coupled with click wheel provides the easiest and most intuitive way to control the iPod Nano. That is the reason why iPod family becomes so popular among the various digital music players in the market. Music playing features including shuffle play and on-the-go play list.


Thanks to flash memory technology, iPod Nano offers skip-free music playback, durable, and reliable storage. Anyway, its 2/4GB of memory built-in is less attractive than iPod Mini version which comes with 4/6GB. It turn as USB drive when connecting to IBM compatible or Mac PC. Unlike iPod with Camera Connector, iPod Nano could not connect directly to digital camera for images/video downloading!

Others cool features are such as built-in four tiny games(Brick, Music Quiz, Parachute, and Solitaire), store/view contacts/appointments of Microsoft Outlook, screen lock that support up to 4-digit numerical code.
