2GB iPod nano 2nd Generation Silver

Pros: durability, ease of use, battery life, good display

Cons: needed a new version of iTunes, volume level and young ears

The Bottom Line: Know someone who isn't familiar with the technology and wants an MP3 player? This is the perfect model to start a newbie out with, no matter what their age.

Review: I know, some people are already scratching their heads wondering what an eleven year old needs an iPod for. Personally, I feel the same way. However, she was bound and determined to get one and saved her money all summer long from helping her sister...

Pros: Compact, stylish, excellent sound and volume, fast transfer, battery life, bright screen, price

Cons: 2 GB capacity might not be enough for some, no WMA support, no FireWire support

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend the new iPod Nano 2 GB. It is an excellent choice in the 2 GB portable music player category. It has good sound, long battery...

Review: I have used the Apple iPod Nano 2 GB in black color for over a year and was mostly happy with it. Mostly, because some things were pretty annoying: the scratch-prone front...

Pros: Very user friendly, tons of extras, one-year warranty, great customer service, very portable

Cons: I've heard Apples have functionality issues, iTunes has a bit of a learning curve

The Bottom Line: Bottom line is that the Apple iPod Nano is perfect for everyone -- athletes, beginning techies and music lovers. It's got a little bit of everything!

Review: I have been resisting the siren call of MP3 players for a while. After all, I rarely buy CDs and never download music... why in heaven's name would I want to purchase an MP3 player? What? To play the Frank Sinatra CDs I own? I can do that just as...

Pros: It's sleek and sophisticated.

Cons: It was a bit hard to set up at first.

The Bottom Line: This iPod is very slick and sophisticated!

Review: One disadvantage to the sleek small iPod is that they are so small that they can be easily stolen. Thus was the fate of my sons uber cool Black 1 GB iPod. Thanks to some Christmas money, a Best Buy Gift Card and a kick in from Dad (that's me!) he...

Pros: Design, size, features, coolness

Cons: Non-replacable battery

The Bottom Line: Anyone looking for a reasonably price, quality product has found what they are looking for.

Review: With the increasingly wide spectrum of portable listening devices available to consumers today, it can be difficult to choose the product that's right for you. Nearly every option imaginable is available at the right price - music is no longer the...

Pros: Packaging, sound quality and volume, no scratching, size, battery life

Cons: No choice of colors for 2GB Model

Review: This is a great iPod, and this comes from someone who is on their 7th or 8th iPod (I've been using them since the original 1st generation devices).

The major complaint of the first revision of iPod Nanos was their tendancy to scratch. As...

Pros: almost disappears in pocket, generally elegant functionality, beautiful design, very ergonomic, functional for size

Cons: Trades off some audio flexibility for size, no customizable EQ, touchy thumbwheel, headphones dangerously useless.

The Bottom Line: Buy this if you want an easy to use iPod that is small and if don't mind buying replacement headphones.

Review: The 'file management' is a cinch.

You can set up iTunes to A) auto-rip inserted CDs to your computer and B) auto-upload your reconnected iPod.

you can also get fancy with custom playlists, selectable updates (keep all your music...

Pros: Great quality and sound

Cons: Not enough storage

The Bottom Line: You gotta have one of these!

Review: On Christmas day of 2005, I recieved my first MP3 player - it was an Audiovox. It cost around $80, had 256MB storage, came with headphones equivalent to the ones you find at the dollar store, and had a screen that didn't have a backlight and was...

Pros: size, weight, you choose songs you want, whole album or just one tune.

Cons: it is very fragile.

Review: For my birthday I received an Apple iPod. I admit I am not up on these things but quickly learned to love it. The things I like the most are:

(1) you can download individual songs ~ For myself while I might like one song I don't want to...

Pros: Small, easy to use, more affordable.

Cons: Only has 2 GB, can't watch movies on it.

The Bottom Line: Buy a 3rd generation or a video ipod.

Review: ipod 2nd generation is good, but there is better. I say that for several reasons:

1.First off, it's the least expensive of all the other ipods on the market at this time, but your still paying over $100 for a feeble amount of memory. I...
