iPod Nano - 2G (8GB - Black)
Thinking about going to uni, I decided it would be a good idea to buy an mp3 player which worked for me.. A replacement for my Sony Walkman NW-A3000 20 GB player, which I found to be a bit of a burden to use and update.
Anyway so I looked around, and kinda had it in my head I wanted an iPod, I don't really want to have one with a hard drive since from experience they are a bit slow so I figured a Nano would be nice. Looking on the apple shop, I was only willing to shed out for a 4GB version which I probably would have resented once I had it and wanted an 8GB.. However on ebuyer it was much cheaper £140 for an 8GB so I brought it and payed a little extra for next day delivery.
Now on first impressions, in the box it looks pretty standard, comes in a nice apple style box.
Inside the box is:
This being my first iPod I have to say how easily I have picked up using the menu, they have a good system going so I don't suppose they will change it anytime soon which I think is a good thing.
Also some great quality sounds from it and the headphones are pretty comfortable so I wont have to buy another pair unless they break most likely.
Everything else on the nano works good, the games are a little unusual and I probably won't ever even play them again after trying them out, so I feel they could have just left them out and no one would have batted an eyelid.
iTunes
I was extremely surprised with it, I know its hardly the best music software but I had in my mind this unusable program but in reality its actually pretty good. It gave me some details about my iPod once it was plugged in and it also updated it for me which was pretty sweet. Since some of my music has different artist tags, I changed them and it was auto finishing them for me which I thought was awesome, I tried a couple letters for it and it put it to others already in my list. I also had a little look at some podcasts and its set up so it puts the latest Major Nelson onto my iPod :) another great feature..
Today while in town I found a brand new official Apple iPod Dock for £6 (£25 RRP), It was an offer I couldn't decline since I had already thought about looking for one, it was marked as second hand but when I opened it (as I expected) it looked unused and still in wrapping. BONUS! Hooked up nicely to my pc and keeps my desk a little tidier and I think I'll be more inclined to hook up my iPod and keep him up to day now.
Overall I am VERY glad I brought this new iPod nano, hopefully it'll last the 4 years of university - I have high hopes because it seems a pretty sturdy peice.
