Apple 8 GB iPod nano MP3 Player


QUICK TAKE:
Apple 8 GB iPod nano MP3 Player - 2nd Generation


You're ready to take the iPod plunge, but you've decided you don't need the most expensive model with the most capacity. And maybe you'd like to exercise with it and not worry about damaging the internal hard drive. If this sounds like you, the 2nd-generation Apple iPod nano is an excellent choice.

With a sleek new design that moves away from the earlier nano's criticized clear surface that scratched too easily, the gen 2 Apple iPod nano is more likely to withstand bumps and knocks without looking too worse for wear. And if you plan to bike or run with your Apple iPod nano, you won't have to worry about disturbing the player, as it runs on flash memory rather than a hard disc drive.

And perhaps the Apple iPod nano's biggest selling point is its software: iTunes. No other media management system is as easy to use, intuitive and well-designed. You'll be able to subscribe to your favorite podcasts, buy songs from the iTunes Music Store, and sync your Apple iPod nano to your iTunes library without even pressing a button.

Your music says a lot about you, and so should your Nano. The super-slim design--0.26-inches thin and a light 1.41 ounces--says you always have room for music, 2,000 songs, in fact. Durable anodized aluminum says you won't let the rough and tumble of everyday life ruin your groove. And the attractive colors says whatever you want.

The Apple iPod nano ships with newly-designed earbuds. Use iTunes to import your CDs, shop for songs on the iTunes Store, and then sync them to your Apple iPod nano.

While it can't stop the rain, Apple iPod nano might make your day a bit bright, 40-percent brighter to be exact. Album art pops and slideshows stun on the Apple iPod nano's dazzling, now-brighter display. That means everything looks just as good as it sounds.
