Summary

Review summaries for Apple Nano from expert mp3 player reviewers.

the Nano supports video features we seldom find on portable video players twice its size

Apple iPod Nano (third generation, 8GB, black):CNet

The bottom line:
The shape may have changed, but Apple's relentless attention to detail remains. The third generation of the iPod Nano provides loads of entertainment for a down-to-earth price.
"
The Nano's most dramatic design change is, of course, its larger, brighter screen."
"
the Nano supports video features we seldom find on portable video players twice its size"
"
We're happy to see that, despite the iPhone's unique file-management requirements, the iPod Nano allows for the manual addition and deletion of music and video files without the hassles of playlist syncing."
"
The third-generation iPod Nano offers crisp, bright video playback, an exceptionally thin all-metal body, above-average battery life, built-in games, and an advanced user interface."
"
New excellent user interface"
"
beautiful interface"

It's so bright, though, that you might want to dial the screen down a bit

Apple iPod Nano:PCWorld

Slim, elegant design. The Nano's long, thin stick design has been replaced by a wider, stouter design that accommodates both the generous screen and Apple 's signature scroll wheel. The LED-backlit display is bright and beautiful: Photos and videos looked crisp and brilliant in my hands-on experience--no surprise given the screen's 320-by-240 resolution, at 204 pixels per inch. Doesn't allow voice recording. Attractive video playback. *

"
The player's corners are nicely rounded and it seems much more resistant to grubby fingerprints and scratches."

The video quality is amazing

Apple iPod Nano (3rd Generation) Review:CoolTechZone

It's excellent, but it's not a replacement for a dedicated video device. *
"

"
It's excellent, but it's not a replacement for a dedicated video device."
"
don't get too excited and think about replacing your dedicated portable video players or notebook computers in lieu of the Nano"

its larger, brighter screen

Apple iPod nano (8GB; third generation):Cnet.com

The nano's second-most impressive design improvement is its dramatically overhauled menu system. *

"
Some might write this split-screen effect off as pure novelty, but the end result is quite beautiful"

very good sound quality

Review: Third-generation iPod nano:macworld

And even though this is the smallest video-playing screen I've used, after watching a 90-minute movie on the nano I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The additional information provided by these new menus makes finding content easier, although if you have a large music library, the two-line-per-track Songs list takes longer to scroll through. *

very good sound quality"
"
excellent battery life"
"
bright, clear screen"
"

"
the increased use of album art and previews throughout the new iPods' interface makes for a better visual experience"
"
Battery life will be shorter if you frequently skip songs or if you use the nano's backlight for extended periods"
"
All the features of the iPod classic--including video playback, video output, and games--in a smaller, less-expensive, and flash-memory-based player"

snazzy new split-screen interface

Apple iPod nano (3G):Laptopmag

The world's most popular flash-based music player now does video, but it's the size and unparalleled ease of use that will win you over.
"
The sound quality on our test tracks was very good, with no audible system noise."
"
Much better screen than predecessor"
"
It also sports a snazzy new split-screen interface, revamped graphics, and a short, squat design--though it's still slim as ever"
"
Attractive new interface"
"
Good battery life"
"
The screen is bright and crisp, and I found it comfortable to look at despite its small size, except in very bright sunlight."
"
Apple has made a few updates and enhancements to the "classic" interface, most of which will drive longtime users to exclaim, "Finally!""
"
This admittedly may be tough on people with less-than-ideal vision, but for most people, it really is possible to watch videos comfortably on the nano's screen."

Photos and cover art were crisp and brilliant.

Music videos and TV shows from the iTunes Store looked excellent, showing no artifacts. Photos and cover art were crisp and brilliant. *

strong audio player

Apple iPod nano (with video, 4GB/8GB):ilounge.com

Though shape is different, and screen is bigger and more detailed, volume is not dramatically increased over prior nanos. Achieves better than promised battery performance, as well as nearly equivalent video and audio performance to the iPod classic, making better use of its smaller components. *

"
Prior iPod Games, and iPod video accessories, are generally not compatible with this model"

gorgeous little media device

Apple iPod nano 2GB:DigitalTrends

This near-doubling of battery life is even more impressive when considering the 40% increase in screen brightness. *

Apple iPod Nano:Computeractive

The design is astonishing but there are still flaws in this tiny package

Poor headphones."

no native video conversion"
