I delayed purchase as I thought it would be too much hassle to do the initial loading up of the IPod, but it was not and took much less time than I anticipated. I'm glad I took the plunge.

Comments about Apple Apple 4GB Silver 2nd Generation iPod Nano:

Once I figured out that my Mac OS was too old to download the new iTunes and that the iPod was too advanced for my poor old Mac, I had to spend a lot of time trying to figure out how I was going to get some music on the darned thing. Because I haven't really had good instructions that others would get from iTunes, it's been a real learning experience for me. It would have been nice to know that the 5th generation Nano had to have a more advanced Mac OS to use it with iTunes before I bought the darned thing. Otherwise, I recently enjoyed 6 plane rides and some vacation downtime with my iPod keeping me company.

Comments about Apple Apple 4GB Silver 2nd Generation iPod Nano:

I love this little guy! It holds all of my music, with room to spare! The only complaints I have are that you have to download the program from Apples web site, and I still have trouble getting the scroll button to do what I want it to do without jumping to someplace I don't want to go, but I figure that will come with practice.
And if you're a runner, be advised that the ear pieces don't stay in very well (I tested it in a 5k).
Other than that, it's realiable and the battery life is excellent.

pretty good

By Colby the Runner from Rochester, NY on 12/2/2006

Cons:

4GB has 3x GB u can use, Screen CAN Break Easily

Best Uses:

At Home, Sports, Travel

Comments about Apple Apple 4GB Silver 2nd Generation iPod Nano:

I think it is a very well put together product from Apple. It is EXTREMELY small for 1,000 songs. But, if you were looking for All 4.0GB's, you're not gonna get them. You get about 3.65 GB for songs and whatnot. I would suggest this iPod for anyone that is athletic and wants a jukebox that is paper-thin!

Fast Forwarding

Comments about Apple Apple 4GB Silver 2nd Generation iPod Nano:

I love this little device. Seems like everyone else in America already had one, but I held out because the only thing I thought I'd use it for is listening to audiobooks in the car. Well, now that I'm buying a MacBook Pro, I figure I'll find other uses for mine. I've downloaded and listened to a few books, and the only downside I've experienced with my Nano so far is that it's hard to fast-forward to the spot where I last left off in my book. The other day, I listened to over two hours of one book and then turned off my device. Later, when I tried to resume where I had left off, my iPod took me back to the beginning of the audiobook. It took about 15 minutes to fast forward to where I left off. I wish there were some sort of bookmark that saved the last place where I was listening. Other than that, I love everything else about it!
