An Amazing Mp3/Movie Player/Video Player/CD Holder/Podcast Displayer!, November 21, 2009
By
JeordeonThis is an amazingly awesome iPod. So, it may be an older one, but let's see what all it can do, starting with...
Features:
Photos...
It takes about a thousand photos to fill up a forth of the iPod Nano 4gb, and they are displayed SPECTACULARLY. I mean this has to display at least 5 or 6 megapixels! It's truely fabulous. To download photos, they must be firstly a document on your computer. For example, if you press 'Start' in Windows, or another PC, and click on "Pictures," then whatever is shown is availible. Connect your iPod to the computer with the Sync wire, and click on the 'Photos' section of your iPod's section in iTunes. There will be displayed different files containing photos. Check the ones you want, and they will be Synchronized to your iPod upon command. That simple. They will be organized into seperate files. To make a file, go to the "Pictures" section on your computer, click "Organize," then "New File." Label the file, and drag select pictures into it. When Synchronizing your iPod, check that new folder, and it will be downloaded and labeled as on your computer. Very easy.
Movies...
What really stinks here is that you cannot import your DVDs through iTunes. You have to buy them directly, which is very expensive--about $15 per movie. Or you can rent them, also very expensive, and you have it for 30 days, or until you watch it. After starting it, you have 24 hours before it is removed.
Podcasts...
There are two types of podcasts availible through iTunes: Videos, and audio formats. There are more of the latter. These are great, because they are all free, and easily viewed. While listening to audio formats, you can flip through your photos. There is almost a podcast for everything you can imagine. Not too shabby!
Videos...
According to the manual on the official Apple website, you can download videos from online, but I am not sure how to do so. I'm afraid I can't help you here...
Music!...
The sound quality here is great. While listening to your music, you can flip through album covers, and look at photo slideshows. Adjust the volume by sliding your thumb across the click wheel. Easy as that! The Cover Flow is amazing. Rotate the wheel to flip through albums, click, choose your song, click again and hear the whole album, starting with that one select track. There are also many other manners of viewing artists, genres, songs, or whatever. =)
I hope this helped you decide what to buy!

Plenty of storage for music and great sound quality. We use this Nano on a portable speaker device too, and it works great! Size makes it just right for kids to carry in their pocket. If you want to do more than play music - get a diferent ipod with a bigger screen.....

Only one problem w/ 3rd generation Ipod, November 12, 2009
By
ShortyThe Ipod came very fast to my house, days before expected date to receive. The only problem i had was the packaging looked like it was opened , and the back of the ipod--there was sticky stuff holding it w-some small scratches on the back. Other then that the ipod works great, i just think if i buy something "NEW" it should be new , not openned ! And the company responded by saying its an old model , you are not going to find it in better condition, and that would be fine ... IF i baught it Used, which i didn't .

We've had this for more than a year now and enjoy it. Works well on backpacking trips and in teh car (with an FM transmitter).
