Apple iPod (third generation)
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.
We're not crazy about the wider body, the smaller scroll wheel, the lack of video output, and the average-sounding audio quality.
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.

Apple iPod nano, third-generation (3G) 4GB
Very good sound quality, excellent battery life ; All the features of the iPod classic—including video playback, video output, and games—in a smaller, less-expensive, and flash-memory-based player ; Bright, clear screen ; Improved user interface ;...
Incompatible with some existing dock-connector accessories ; Can't use previously-purchased games ; Shiny back surface not as rugged as anodized metal of previous version ; New visuals-heavy interface slowed by album art ; Cover Flow performance limited

Apple iPod Nano
Despite its new design, the fourth-generation iPod Nano is more of an evolutionary step than a major overhaul.
Slim, elegant design, Attractive video playback
Lacks radio and voice recording
Completely redesigned, the third-generation Nano adds video playback and redefines the portable media player.

Apple iPod nano, third-generation (3G) 8GB
The first thing you'll notice about the third-generation Apple iPod Nano ($199 for the 8GB version as of 9/7/2007) is its 2-inch display. How can you not? The display occupies more than half of the device--fitting considering that one of the big...

Apple iPod nano (3rd generation)
Since the iPod nano's inception, the only thing it ever really lacked was videosomething that didn't mesh with the iTunes Store's commitment to TV shows and film downloads. Sporting a bright, two-inch widescreen that shows video in the highest...
Widescreen video. New excellent user interface. Great new graphics. Extremely thin. Good (rated) battery life
Cover Flow loses some of its appeal without a touchscreen. Crappy earbuds ; Watch the iPod Nano (3rd Gen) Video Review
Apple's new video iPod nano is wider than the old version, yet the player remains very thin and sleek, with an excellent widescreen display, a beautiful interface, and (finally) video.

Apple iPod Nano 3rd Generation MP3 Player
MP3 Players have evolved a lot since they first burst on to the scene. Apple really surprised people with their iPod MP3 Player and it really took off. You can see why too, easy to use controls, smooth menus, and the ease of syncing everything through...
Slick design, - 2-inch 320 x 240 QVGA screen, - Very easy to operate, - 6 different color choices, - Price
NONE!
The iPod is the most popular MP3 player and for good reason. Coming in a few different flavors the iPod Nano is a great player for someone looking for something a little bit better than the Shuffle and that has a larger capacity. The 8GB version will...

Apple's highest-capacity mid-range flash player to date, with an outstanding array of nine color options that for the first time are available at a $149 base price rather than as a premium option. Preserves most of the features of last year's flat...
Battery life for video and game playing has dropped from prior version, though audio playback time is roughly the same. New tapered shape feels like a dull knife in the hand, versus the softer curves of prior iPods and nanos, and requires rotation for...
The major reason for last year's shape change, a two-inch, 320x240 display, has been flipped on its side to become taller than it is wide, and in addition to changing the nano's interface, Apple has added an accelerometer to detect the device's...
