Pros:
Video at last, very small, $50 cheaper, nice looks |
|
|
|
| Cons:
Abysmal battery life for video, needs more storage space, buggy OS When I held the iPod nano, if felt solid and well built in my hand. It is very small, a little too small for my taste. The click wheel is rather inconsistent, jumping down categories at times. The new UI (user interface) is rather slow, sometimes taking a few seconds to load a menu. Coverflow is pointless... BUT, for its functionality, great appearance, and price, it is a great player for the beginner buyer.

Cons:
Not Smooth enough...yet So Far after paying with my new Nano, I realized that syncing has become a entirely different situation.
I manually add content to the nano, sometimes I see that it likes to delete my album art from some songs. Its flash-based memory so it scares me to say this last detail, I used to have the 5th Gen iPod, and taking it to school I realized that the Hard drive killed a lot more battery then the 2nd Gen Nano, its cool though because I only used it for the mourning before and after I got out so estimate about 40 min in the mourning and about 20 in the end of school. The Battery didn't move a inch. But I see it move on the new nano...Scary I know but it could be the new software which let me tell you is Kick Ass, The interface, the album art the VIDEO, I'll deal with the rest. hands down It's Sexy and Micro"Shaft" is gonna have a gard time dealing with this.

more memory,podcasts are hard to watch I enjoyed buying a Ipod since I had been used to using a regular,combersome cd player. It is perfect to take any where and holds up to 8 GB of memory or up to 2,000 songs. It has room for podcasts and lots of other neat gadgets such as a calendar and a alarm clock. I was most amazed with how it organized my music:by album, artist,songs,or genre. Also the graphics such as pictures are crystal clear and excellent in pixel value.

Sensitive click wheel, not 16GB flash memory |

Cons:
Small, no hard drive so I don't have to worry about dropping it. I've seen people say it's expensive, but if you compare it to the last gen Nano, it's $100 cheaper for the same amount of storage, plus video capability this time around. Also, this is not intended to store your entire movie collection. That's the iPod Classics job. That's why it has over 100GB of storage. There is a reason there are 4 different kinds of iPods; they each taylor to a different music, and video library style.
As far as battery life goes, it ONLY lasts a mere 20-24 hours if you are playing music; and about 3.5-5 playing video, depending on how you use it. Which, realistically, comes out to charging it maybe every 3 or 4 days if you mostly listen to music.
As far as quality issues. I've had none. It syncs perfectly every time, I've never lost anything off of it. It helps to know how the iTunes sync works. If you remove a song from a play list, or delete it from your library, the next time you sync, it won't be in that playlist or on your iPod at all. Also, I have a OS 10.4 so I don't have Vista, or XP on my computer to wreak havoc with the iPod software, which can happen.
So, if you're looking for something to hold 10-20 hours worth of video, this is not the mp3 player for you. But if you want to store 4 days worth of music, and the occasional video podcast or two, into a player that will fit into the palm of your hand, then this is the player for you. Also, the simplicity of use alone makes it worth buying.
A post script:
You will probably want to replace the ear buds that come with it, the are not great. Also, it's very light, and if you put it in your pocket, it can be easy to forget it's there. So check to make sure it's not in your pockets before you wash your clothes.

Cons:
Very complicated to get your own videos on - easy to get videos that you buy from the Sony Store I like the video ipod. I hate that you can't copy music from your friends computer to your ipod and then from your ipod to your computer. You would have to store it on your ipod just as a file and then transfer to your computer and then copy to your ipod library and upload back to your ipod.
It is very difficult to get your own movies onto the ipod that you've downloaded from "Other" sources. It is simple to buy music videos from the sony store and have them put onto your ipod of course.
