Apple iPod nano 4 GB White (1st generation) OLD MODEL Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First off, let me just say that the nano was my fourth iPod; I have a second-generation 40GB iPod, as well as two minis (1st gen 4GB and 2nd gen 6GB), and was happy with all three until the batteries died.A side note--don't ever store your iPod in a third-party speaker set that also charges.Mine lasted not quite a year and now the battery dies after 20 minutes of play time.

Here is the problem with the nano.It looks cool, is lightweight, and for all intents and purposes, promises to be a great piece of technology.But it is just way too easy to break.My other iPods had taken some abuse over the years, but never showed any signs of considerable wear (except for a scratched screen on the 40GB).I managed to break the Nano two days after purchase on its first use, without any significant trauma to the casing.(I dropped it while sitting on the couch, and it fell two feet.)The screen cracked and the display is ruined, at a cost of over $100 to replace.Even after giving a polite explanation, producing a receipt, and enduring condescension from the manager ("Sometimes things break"), Apple wouldn't take it back.

I really can't recommend this product.There are better iPods out there, namely the Minis, which are more tightly crafted and likely to withstand the pressures of everyday use.Don't waste your money on the nano.It is flimsy and poorly constructed, and you're better off looking elsewhere until they improve their product.
