User Reviews for Apple IPod Nano 4GB MP3 Player - Black

  • Reviewed by: res07ad5

    Duration of ownership: 2 Days

    Strengths: great sound, compact design and quick synchronization

    Weaknesses: Does not support gapless playback!

    Overall Evaluation: Once again, Apple has released a new and improved iPod that fails to address a persistent complaint - gapless playback! I listen to classical music primarily, and opera in particular. I simply cannot tolerate the gap that iPods place between tracks, even when I specify to transfer my music as a gapless CD. Once again, Apple fails. I returned my iPod Nano to the store the day after I bought it.

    Strengths: its small and pretty

    Weaknesses: short battery life and i cant get games onto the ipod and smuges easily

    Overall Evaluation: why can i only get games on my 40GB video ipod but i can not get games onto my 4GB ipod nano i realy would rather games on this because it is smaller.
