Apple iPod Nano (3G)

MSRP: $149, 4GB; $199, 8GB

The world's most popular flash-based music player now does video, but it's the size and unparalleled ease of use that will win you over.

Review date: Oct 2, 2007

Apple's third-generation iPod nano boasts video capability and a larger screen, vastly improving on its predecessor. It also sports a snazzy new split-screen interface, revamped graphics, and a short, squat design--though it's still slim as ever. This extremely sleek player comes in 4GB ($149) and 8GB ($199) flavors, but not 16GB as of this writing. Although some compelling alternatives are cropping up, the nano is still our favorite flash-based music player.   The iPod nano's anodized aluminum front has rounded edges and a two-inch screen, while the back is polished stainless steel, much like the first-generation nano

ProsCons
  • Much better screen than predecessor
  • Good battery life
  • Attractive new interface
  • Best-in-class music-management software
  • Display too small for extended viewing
  • Click Wheel partially obscured when used with some docks
  • No FM radio
