    Comments about Apple iPod nano 4th Gen (Black):

    I was very hesitant about buying an iPod because I run windows vista, and I had heard about all of the problems. After using my iPod for about a month I have not had one problem with it concerning my computers operating system. The only real problems I have had with it that it will freeze up every now and then, and it is very hard to find a video format that it will accept. Other than that a wonderful product.

              Comments about Apple iPod nano 4th Gen (Black):

              I bought this as a replacement for my 80gb iPod Classic after the hard drive died 13 months later. With no moving parts and the solid state construction, the 4th Generation nano is more durable than the Classic.

              The pros
              * Incredibly lightweight & thin. You can't even tell its in your pocket
              * Glass screen offers excellent scratch resistance
              * Simple to use
              * Accelerometer is very useful when viewing pictures or watching videos
              * Screen clarity
              * Lots of colors choices

              The cons
              * iTunes 8 is a resource hog and needs to be redesigned
              * Battery life is below average
              * Sound quality is below average
              * A number of third-party accessories do not work with the iPod nano

              Overall the 16gb 4th Generation nano is a solid player and worth the investment.

              I bought this 1 for me and 1 for my fiancee.
              I will write about the review from her by next week. This is my review comments.
              I love this product as it is very slim and compact with high capacity (16 GB). All my friends also asked me about this. I am connecting it to car speakers and output is awesome.
              GOOD PRODUCT FROM APPLE AND GOOD PRICE FROM B&H.
              Only 1 time, it hanged for unidentified reason (for me) when connected to system and recovered after restarting it. Hence giving 4 points out of 5.

                Comments about Apple iPod nano 4th Gen (Black):

                I bought the 16 GB nano to listen to while exercising and hiking. This is the first Apple product I have purchased. I have a large music collection and the 16 GB is sufficient to hold all of my files, with space left over for new music I add to my collection. If you plan to store photos as well as music then you may want to upgrade to an Ipod Classic, Touch or Iphone with a larger memory. The Nano screen is small, so I also would not suggest it for your main photo viewing or movie watching device. Setup is not difficult for anyone with basic skills, but if you are tech-phobic get someone to set it up for you. Bottom-line: this product is ideal for active music lovers who may also want to store a few photos.

                      I bought this iPod for my 12 year old son. It has many great user features, such as the "shake" shuffle, where if you give the iPod a sharp shake, it will randomly select a song. It is all flash-based (no hard drive), so it has no moving parts and is extremely rugged. Comes with several simple games as well. I opted for the additional memory (16 GB instead of 8), this was a good move, as it fits almost my entire library.

                      No downsides yet, except for the earbuds, which I don't like in general. This device works great with the studio headphones as well.

                        Great product at a great price from B&H! The easiest on-line purchase I made this Christmas. Just plug and play for the Ipod.
