The shape may have changed, but Apple's relentless attention to detail remains. The third generation of the iPod Nano provides loads of entertainment for a down-to-earth price.

Before I owned a 3rd Gen iPod Nano, I had owned two Sandisk MP3 players. The first one of those was a very early 1Gb model with a black/white screen and no real features to speak of. The second was a 2Gb Sansa player that offered video playback and menu systems more like an iPod. But I ran into... Read the full review →

Very durable in design. The back casing does get scratched easily but the screen is fantastic and I don't have any scratches yet. I got the 4 GB version and found that it stores all my songs and podcasts with plenty of leftover room. The screen is slightly too small for watching videos in my... Read the full review →

Pros: -Gapless playback. Plays music as intended by the artists. -Pocket friendly form factor. Despite people making fun the 3G nano as the "fatty," the form factor is actually ideal and really pocket friendly compared to the awkward tall 2G/4G nano. -The most informative now playing...

I really enjoyed using it when i traveled inter-island for work. The problem occurred about 13 months after I purchased it. It stopped... Read the full review →

I have this iPod nano and it's exactly what I expected from an iPod, but without the annoying freezing issues I've had with other iPods. Over a year and a half without having to reboot it!

I love this little iPod. I bought it for yardwork, going to the gym, and for the Nike+ connection, since my 5th Gen HD-based iPod wasn't great for any of those. The exterior finish is very scratchable but I sheathed mine in a silicon sleeve, which works well. What I really like is the size and... Read the full review →

You can pick these up for under $50 now on eBay, and they're perfect for sharing your iTunes music with friends. Fill it with music, and lend it to them. When you get it back, change the playlist, and repeat! Read the full review →
