Apple's 16GB iPod nano (Purple) is just as much video camera as it is personal music library, FM radio, and fitness coach! The nano lets you record up to 16 hours of Internet ready 640 x 480 VGA video. It also gives you the option to choose from 15 different special effects to make every video truly unique. Once you've captured the moment share it with everyone through email, YouTube, MobileMe, Facebook or other social networking sites.
The 5th generation has a few design changes as well, including an expanded 2.2 inch LCD screen and a polished anodized aluminum finish. And, when it comes to storage the 5G can hold up to 4,000 songs or up to 14,000 photos. The nano still rocks the Genius Playlist feature, and now Genius Mixes as well. When synced with iTunes the player can create up to 12 different mixes based on your music.
When you feel like taking a break from your music, the nano has a built-in FM tuner. Apple went a step beyond radio by also giving the tuner iTunes tagging and Live Pause. In addition, the VoiceOver feature tells you the title and artist of the songs you're listening to. You can also use Voice Memo to save notes to self or any other audio you want to record.
To help you reach your fitness goals, the nano now has a built-in pedometer for counting your steps. And, when paired with the Nike + iPod Sport Kit (available separately) you can use the nano to keep track of your runs or gym workouts too.

Comments about Apple 16GB iPod nano (Purple):
I upgraded from an iPod mini to this nano. My other iPod was 5+ years old and saw me through many miles on the pavement and treadmill. I had even replaced the battery once on my own in my prior iPod and it gave me another two years. I checked out other MP3 players, but I came back to the brand I knew and loved. Not always crazy about iTunes and how it works (and doesn't work), but I definitely love my iPod!

Prefer this generation of nano to the 6th generation because it has a camera and a mini speaker. Get it while still in stock!

Comments about Apple 16GB iPod nano (Purple):
I upgraded to this from the 4th generation Nano. It has some great additions such as video camera, voice notes, and pedometer. Performance is the same as the last model.
The only thing that bothers me about this model is that you can't shake it to turn on shuffle like with the 4th generation. As I used to use that feature constantly, it's taking some getting used to!

I love this! It's my first ipod.. first ianything. I bought it just for music. I have watched a video and it looks great! I haven't loaded a video taken from the ipod onto my computer yet though. Everything sounds great and it's easy to use. I'm very happy with this.

Comments about Apple 16GB iPod nano (Purple):
This iPod has almost everything to keep you entertained in so many ways with your own music, radio, video from camera and prerecorded sources. A great improvement to the 4th generation in spite of its apparently similarities.

Comments about Apple 16GB iPod nano (Purple):
Compared to my old iPod (nano 4th generation with 4GB), I am very pleased with this upgrade in listening to music and watching movies. I love the radio option built into it and the amazing speaker feature when you really do no want to plug in your headphones. I like to have soft, enjoyable background noise while I study; my 5th generation nano iPod, without music being directly in my ears, gives a comfortable studying atmosphere. The only down side with iPods is that it can be easily scratched (so far, I do not have a scratch on mine). To avoid that happening, I suggest an iPod cover. Overall, this generation of iPod is the perfect size for a college person like me! As a bonus, the choice of color makes it better to choose and very unique to the owner.
