“I really like it”

★★★★☆

written by Richmay234 on 04/06/2013

The ipod is great, it is very pretty, with a modern shuffle with a screen. Th e only thing I do no like about it is that fact it is fragile so you might need to get a case for it. But overall great product.

“Rubbish”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 10/06/2012

I purchsed a 6th gen 16gb nano so that I could upload to it he 4,000 songs that it says can be uploaded. after 18,000 songs of average lenght ( ie 3 mins or so, at 128 kbps -- the lowest it will let you record at) it is full. Nothing else is loaded on it. There is no support from apple.Do not buy this. The lack of support is a real let down. ps apple say you get 3 months foc support on new purchase ha ha ha -- try using it. --- My adice is dont get caught, Theres lots on the market thats better and cheaper.

“Different Style, Same Greatness”

★★★★★

written by makesmemad on 28/12/2011

Had the Nano now for couple of days. Always been a fan of Apple and at first I wanted the previous gen as it was classic Nano. I didn't fancy buying a second hand one so went for the 6th gen instead. At first I was surprised with the packaging, I thought how could the connection lead and earplugs fit in the packaging let alone the ipod. Then I realised, the ipod itself was the smallest thing ever. As I turned it on I was pleased with the feel and the response and after uploading music and photos I was over the moon with the ease of use. Screen was bright and crisp and then I came across the clock, how brilliant it could be used as a watch! The fitness thing is awesome too but not fully used that yet so cant comment more but it looks a good feature. Overall pleased with the purchase. Bad thing is the price, at £130 I thought was a little too much.

“A little bit expensive but worth it if you don't have...”

★★★★☆

written by davehalls on 15/08/2011

It is quite expensive compared to the iPod Touch, iPhone 4 or iPod Shuffle but the device itself is very sweet and has little apps that are very cool. I recently bought the Apple/Nike GPS tracking which is a little gadget that you plug into there (also works with Touch and iPhone) to get statistics on my running and fitness and it is great. The Nano is so small that you barely notice you carry it and the battery lasts for quite long. The only reason I wouldn't get it is because the screen is way too small if you are not comfortable with tactile devices and small fonts, I would recommend the iPod Touch which has a bigger screen and everything is much clearer, the Touch also has a camera now which for a few hundred more quid might be a much better deal and you can also get 1000+ more apps and games.

written by NewBeginningsLondon on 12/05/2011

Great product. I would describe it as a super product to my friends and family. It is seriously really good. I cant believe its that good. I still cant believe its that good. My friend Bob also says its good and if you knew Bob you would know that he would never lie. Bob is cool - you can trust Bob.

★★★★★

written by AdeOko on 10/05/2011

This is a fantastic product. The ipod is fantastic and worth the money. I listen to this every morning on the train to work as a trader.

If you want to listen to your music with a small device that is not as big as an iphone; then this is recommended.

I love the device and I have purchase one for my sister.

It holds loads of music and has great games.

Another great invention by Apple

“I personally never liked Ipods, however, I felt I was...”

★★★★★

written by stefandare on 21/04/2011

I personally never liked Ipods, however, I felt I was being judgmental considering I have never had one! I bought my Apple Ipod Nano 16GB - 6th generation from www.ebay.co.uk and I got it brand new for only £107.50. It was a bargain at that price. It's perfect, it clips onto your jeans, jacket, bag strap, anywhere you want to clip it! It stays on pretty securely so you don't have to worry about it falling off. The "genius mix" is perfect, it puts your music into playlists for you, music that sounds similar so it's perfect if you're in a certain mood! It has a pedometer and it counts your steps and you can upload them to the Nike website through itunes. It tells you how many calories you have burned too, it's an awesome little extra! The touch screen is perfect, I have had no problems at all with my new Ipod Nano. The 16GB is a huge amount of memory, I can store so much music it's excellent! All the instructions in the box are simple and easy to understand. I would highly recommend this product to anyone! The Audio Quality is crisp clear and the volume can be locked to a certain amount for younger children/teenagers. I can honestly say it's one of the best audio products and I now love Ipod's! :)

“Admittedly, I would never have before purchased an...”

★★★★☆

written by kia1 on 01/01/2011

Admittedly, I would never have before purchased an Apple product for myself; I think they're massively over-priced and certainly excessively hyped-up considering that there are cheaper options on the market that perform similarly. However, now that I've been bought this iPod for Christmas, I appreciate the product a lot more.

This is much better than a standard MP3 player or the cheaper iPod Shuffle because the featured screen and excellent touch interface allow browsing music and photos just excellent, so ideal, so easy. Audio quality is exceptional. The device is widely adaptable, from allowing re-organisation of items on screens to improving accessibility. Unfortunately, the video capacity featured in previous generations is no more, and games no longer feature. However, the device is sleek, very small, wonderfully easy to use and stores a whopping amount of songs.

Buy this if you are devoted to the Apple brand, want to cram a lot of music into a small space regardless of price or want to look cool.

“I am teaching myself how to scull on the Charles river...”

★★★★☆

written by on 18/09/2010

I am teaching myself how to scull on the Charles river and I fell in twice this morning (I bought my 6th gen Nano last nite and had it clipped to my shirt.) Each time I fell in, I was totally submerged for 20-30 seconds. The nano kept playing without a hitch and is still just fine.
It is not advertised to be waterproof, but it clearly is. Bravo Apple.
