Editorial Reviews Apple iPod nano 16 GB Purple (4th Generation)From Apple Computer

Amazon.com Product Description--Posted September 9, 2008 With eight amazing colors, a new curved design, and great new features, iPod nano rocks like never before. The Genius Playlist feature finds the songs in your music library that go great together and makes a playlist for you. With its built-in accelerometer, iPod nano is made to move. Give it a shake, and it shuffles to a different song in your library. Turn it on its side to flip through your album art in Cover Flow. And tilt, move, and play accelerometer-inspired games (games available separately). Watching movies, TV shows, and video is even more fun on the sharp 2-inch screen. And your photos (up to 14,000 of them) look great in portrait or landscape view. Available in 8 GB and 16 GB models, the 16 GB iPod nano puts up to 4,000 songs or 16 hours of video in your pocket.

A Musical GeniusSay you're listening to a song you really like and want to hear other tracks that go great with it. The Genius Playlist feature finds the songs in your music library that go great together and makes a Genius Playlist for you. It's like having your own highly intelligent, personal DJ.
Find Your Music FasterIt's even easier to find the song you want to hear. Now you can view your album art in Cover Flow. Or just press and hold the Center button to browse by album or artist. When you find the right song, press the Center button to add it to your on-the-go playlist.
Rock and Roll OverTilt or turn iPod nano on its side, and you'll listen, watch, and play in new ways. You can flip through your album art with Cover Flow. Or, vertically speaking, see more albums and artists on the screen at one time.
Shake Your Groove ThingSometimes, we could all use a little unpredictability. And now you can shake to change your music. Just give iPod nano a shake, and it shuffles to a different song in your music library. You'll always be surprised by what you'll hear.
Let the Games BeginNow you can get in on games made especially for iPod nano and the accelerometer. They respond to the way you move, so they're immersive, addictive, and a blast. The iPod nano comes with Maze, which lets you work your way through vast mazes by tilting and moving. You can find even more games on the iTunes Store.

Even Your Photos RockPull hundreds of photos from your pocket and share them wherever you go. Hold iPod nano upright and see your photos in portrait view. Turn the player on its side to see them in landscape. Your photos look beautiful in their proper aspect ratio on the vibrant, 320-by-240-resolution display.
The World's Biggest Small ScreenWatching movies, TV shows, and videos is big fun on iPod nano. And the high-resolution picture looks crisp and vivid on the 2-inch widescreen display. So you can always have a little video with you.

Customer Reviews Apple iPod nano 16 GB Purple (4th Generation)From Apple Computer

Love it except the ear buds Very happy with my purchase so far except for the ear buds that come with the Nano. They are just too big for my ears. If I turn my head, the buds fall out and when they are in place, they aren't all that comfortable. Same thing happened with my previous Ipod. The sound is awesome but they just don't stay in place. I would have thought Apple would have fixed this by now. Will just have to use the old Sony ear buds that my bf bought for me when the first ones didn't fit.
Utter disappointment - I wish I still had my my 2nd Gen The screen is nice. The aesthetics - well, it's Apple. The extra features, while "neat," are unnecessary, and sometimes outright silly. My problems with this device are two-fold: The device loses two stars because iTunes (and yes, the Nano itself) rejects half of my MP3s - ALL of which played without problem on my 2nd Gen Nano (!!!) as well as WinAmp and Windows Media Player. I've had to re-encode half of the MP3s I've put on the device - using the same settings (!) in the same MP3 compressor - just to get them "playable!" Even when iTunes lets MP3s through whatever arbitrary check it performs, the Nano itself will skip some! The device loses another star because the Nano refuses to allow any of the three iPod-compatible devices that worked perfectly with my 2nd Gen Nano (vehicle stereo, clock radio, etc) to charge it. Unless you really NEED to play videos on a tiny screen, you're much better off getting a 2nd Gen, if you can.
good litte unit Bought my first 8 gb ipod recently and it works great. You can buy these refurbished from apple right now. Paid $100 for mine and it is just like brand new.
