Posted by: 7-May

Strengths: Good sound quality and environment friendly

Weaknesses: Small LCD, hard to operate click wheel, glossy and reflective screen

The fourth generation iPod nano is small, compact and versatile. The Apple iPod nano 8GB has all the features that its predecessor had including music, video and podcast playback. Apple has also added new features like games, alarms, contacts, notes, a calendar stopwatch and clock.

The Apple iPod nano 8GB has a lightweight and durable metal construction. With rounded edges, it’s also easy to hold and handle. When fully charged, it provides up to 24 hours of music playback or up to 4 hours of video playback. The Apple iPod nano 8GB is available in nine colours.

The Genius feature of the Apple iPod nano 8GB is really impressive. It is capable of composing a 25-song playlist based on the track being listened to. The new shake-to-shuffle feature lets you activate the shuffle mode by shaking the iPod nano. Just like previous models, the fourth generation iPod supports MP3, AAC, Audible, WAV, AIFF and Apple Lossless formats.

With such great features, it is sometimes easy to overlook the drawbacks. The click wheel is difficult to operate when the nano is tilted from portrait to landscape mode. The shake-to-shuffle feature is a little too sensitive. Even a little unintentional shake may turn on the shuffle mode, which is very annoying at times. Other than that, the Apple iPod nano 8GB is a good choice, if you are looking for a high-quality portable music player.
