When it comes to electronic gadgets and multimedia, Apple has long been the leader. They have a real talent for producing products that are user-friendly, price-effective and space-efficient. This is particularly the case in the MP3 players market, where Apple’s iPods reign supreme. For those with big budgets, there’s the iPod Photo and Video versions, and at the cheap end of the market there’s the iPod Shuffle. If you fall somewhere in-between, then the iPod Nano is probably the right choice for you.
The iPod Photo and Video versions certainly have the biggest disk size of all the iPod models, but the iPod Nano still contains the outstanding features that make iPod the undisputed leader in the industry. You can choose what hard drive size you want in your iPod Nano, starting with 1GB (240 songs), moving through 2GB (500 songs) and right up to 4GB (1,000 songs). The cheapest model starts at around $149.
Although the iPod shuffle comes with a much cheaper price tag, it’s also lacking in some of the main features that make the iPod Nano so outstanding. You can still listen to your favorite music on the iPod shuffle, but it’s completely random - you have no control over which song plays next. The iPod Nano you can control the songs in any way you choose, even though it doesn’t have the disk space of the bigger iPod systems.
The iPod Nano is also remarkably sleek and stylish, only being roughly as thick as a pen or pencil. So it’s still small and manageable like the iPod Shuffle, which makes it great for portability when you want to visit the gym or go for a run.
If there’s one thing that works against the iPod Nano, it’s that it suffers from a lack of durability. The bigger versions of iPod are much the same. The iPod Nano can probably be taken on a run or to the gym more times than an iPod Video or Photo, but chances are it will still start to fade out quicker than an iPod Shuffle. This problem happens with all electronic devices at some point, but if you’re paying a higher price you naturally want to experience less glitches.
This problem isn’t unique to iPods - it happens to all MP3 players at some point. They also all tend to suffer from similar issues such as too bulky, not enough disk space, and lacking in durability. Still, when everything else is the same, it’s usually a good idea to stick with the industry leader.
