Diminutive player steps up to become an equal to the iPod classic

by Dan Frakes

Comments:
The changes to the iPod nano -- adding video playback and game support -- make it the equal to the full-sized iPod classic in terms of capabilities. But does it measure up in terms of performance? Dan Frakes takes the third-generation nano in hand to see

Review Verdict: The nano line retains its anodized-metal face-which has also been adopted by the new iPod classic-but inherits the shiny-metal back that's been the trademark of every full-size iPod. Unfortunately, this change makes the nano less rugged, as the shiny surf

Behold! The Third-Generation Apple iPod Nano

by Michael Kwan

Comments:

Apple iPod Nano (3rd generation)

by Derek Fung

Comments:
Honey, I shrunk the iPod! The new nano has all the features of its big brother, the Classic, but in a smaller package with fewer gigabytes.

Review Verdict: While we're still not bowled over by its looks, by almost every other measure the new nano is a far better device. For the first time you won't have to be a feature pauper to enjoy a compact iPod. And it's reasonably priced too: the silver-only 4GB model

Review Verdict: Recommended The Apple 3G iPod nano 8GB has been once again refined, and is undoubtedly the best in the product history. In fact, it takes such a big leap forward in that you will likely to find the 8GB fixed flash storage not enough to hold all the new g
