The Very Popular iPod Nano

Without a doubt the most popular Apple iPod product right now is the iPod Nano. The iPod Nano is much smaller than the iPod Classic, but has many of the same capabilities. The latest version of the iPod Nano includes the ability to capture video. Now the essential music player is also the fastest, easiest way to capture spur of the moment videos. The Nano has a built in microphone so you can capture the audio with the video. Once you’ve captured the video it’s a simple task to transfer the video to your computer or upload it to your favorite video sharing website.

You would think the display on a device that is only 3.6″ high x 1.5″ wide would be difficult to view. But the iPod Nano has very good resolution. The display is 2.2″ measured diagonally with 240 pixel x 376 pixel resolution. The resolution makes it easy on the eyes to playback and watch videos or check out the album artwork for your favorite artists. The 8Gb Nano holds up to 8 hours of video or 7,000 pictures and the 16Gb Nano holds up to 16 hours of video or 14,000 pictures. The display is a color display and the colors are brilliant. Viewing pictures and videos is a feast for your eyes. You won’t believe how crip and clear they are.

The included ear buds with the iPod Nano are also high quality. With a frequency response of 20Hz to 20,000Hz you won’t miss any of the highs or lows of your favorite songs. If you’re a parent worried about your child listening with the volume too loud, you can limit the maxium volume through the system menu. One thing to note: Cats love to chew on the ear bud cords :-) My daughter has now gone through three sets of ear buds thanks to our cat.

The iPod Nano is available in different colors. Silver, charcoal, purple, blue, green, orange and pink are available for order online. Yellow and red are also available, but can only be purchased at the Apple store. However, if you look around you can find the online at places like eBay and Amazon.

Music, video and pictures are stored on the iPod Nano using flash memory. Flash memory uses no moving parts, which makes it very durable. You want to go running with the Nano strapped to your arm? No problem. Music skipping is a thing of the past with the iPod Nano. The flash memory is also power friendly. It can be charged from the USB port on your computer. When fully charged the iPod Nano can play up to 24 hours of music, or 5 hours of video.

Many people consider the iPod Nano the “must have” personal electronic device. With a myraid of color choices, the ability to store and playback music, capture and play video, store data files and pictures make the Nano an extremely popular item for almost everyone. Add to that the compact size making it very easy to carry with you anywhere you go and you’ve got the ultimate in a personal entertainment system. For having as many capabilities that the iPod Nano has, it is a relatively cheap mp3 player. The iPod Nano is definitely one of the best gifts for Christmas for nearly everyone on your list.

You can find the iPod Nano on eBay at a great price. I’ve listed a few items below.

   I recently purchased and iPod Nano and I have to say, the sound quality is amazing. The video quality is OK for doing a quick grab of something. But I wouldn’t want to use the video for anything really important. But it would work great for grabbing videos for youtube or something similar.
