$400 for a 2nd gen nano-- what a RIP-OFF amazon! you can buy th 3rd gen for half the price! buy the newer nano. don't buy this one!

I had the first gen Nano and this one is better in every way - looks, quality, scratch resistence, battery life. What's not to love? The 3rd gen Nano is ugly by comparison - no thanks.

I recieved my ipod for my birthday last year and i love it! Sometimes it will freeze up but if you let it charge, it will be as good as new! I now find that i can't live without my ipod! I am so glad i got this for my birthday, and reccomend to anyone who is considering it, buy it! You will be glad you did.

The 1st Generation Ipod Nano was an incredible device but of course Apple would improve on it later. The 2nd Generation could go as high as 8GB compared to 4GB Max on Gen 1. The design was sleeker and sturdier. While Gen 1 was boxy and 2-toned Generation 2 was like a metal bar, truly a thing of beauty. It has a longer battery charge and is superior in every way. One could not be blamed for thinking that Generation 3 could only get better. Well - yes and no. The obvious upgrade is that you can watch video on Gen 3; you can download movies, TV shows, and music videos direct from itunes very easily. The coolness factor here should not be underestimated; it is amazing. If you are a frequent Plane / Train traveler this is a great device. Now the drawbacks: The screen is very small for video. If you're trapped somewhere this is great but how many of us are going to watch this tiny screen when we have TV's in every room. I have to believe that most people using the Nano are using it for music. Generation 3 is wider and bulkier than Gen 2. It fits awkwardly in an armband if you're walking or exercising. Also the control wheel is smaller. If you're working the controls without looking at it you'll find that it's not as easy as Gen 2 and you'll make more mistakes. Bottom line is that Generation 2 is the best of the 3. Unfortunately Apple only makes Gen 3 now. But you can buy a refurbished one directly from Apple for 150 dollars. It's like new and comes with a 1 year warranty.

After the my husband lost the original nano I purchased, I replaced it with this one. The wheel and buttons are more difficult to press, which makes the frequency of accidental 'hits' much lower. The increased memory is also nice.
