Apple iPod nano Third Gen. Silver (4 GB, MA978LL/A) Digital Media Player

The 3rd generation Nano, Available in capacities of 4, and 8GB (priced at $149 & $199 respectively) these have a scratch-resistant aluminum front, steel back (i recommend a cover to protect the back), rounded edges, and various colors, though the colors are only available in the 8GB models. You can get a 4GB Nano, though it only comes in Silver.

The 3rd Generation Nano has completely redesigned the Nano, and it feels like it is different on the sides when you hold it comparatively to the older generations. This design also makes it feel a lot thinner than it was, which is hard to believe, though it is only millimeters thinner. The screen has changed too, having a 2-inch viewing area, which makes it very easy to use, browse and watch. This new Nano now has a longer battery life. Apple claims that it will last 30 hours, but I was able to get just over 32 hours of playtime – which is nice… real nice.

The 3rd generation Nano comes with similar features as the previous version such as Volume Limit, Stopwatch, Screen Lock, and support for the Nike + iPod Sport Kit, but now has a wide variety of features, previously not found in the previous generations.

The new music search functions, the brighter screen (65% brighter than the 2nd generation), improved sound quality, coverflow, and added games give the new iPod added flare. The biggest difference in the 3rd generation of the iPod Nano is the new body style and the video capability additions.

The body style has changed from the “stick of gum” shape, to the internet given nickname “fatty”. The wider iPod allows for a larger, 2.0 inch screen that allows for a larger viewing area for games, albums, but more importantly - video. Yes, the new Nano allows a “little video for everyone”.

The video quality is sharp and crisp, and allows the user to watch TV shows with little strain, however, watching movies can strain the viewer (due to the length). This flash based memory player, and its storage size (4/8GB) allow for thinness, but if you put a couple of full length movies on your player, your space will fill up quickly. This is the one downside I have with this – hopefully there will be larger space selections in the future.


Also, the bottom of this unit has changed slightly. The headphone jack, the hold switch and the sync port are at the bottom, with the sync port directly in the middle. This allows for ease of use to transfer data.

s a fan small MP3 players, and of the past Nano line-ups, I love this design. I really do. I think the aluminum casing is the way to go, it is too bad it is not all the way around the unit. Should you replace your old 8GB Nano (2nd Generation) with the new one? If you really want video, coverflow, and games, I would say yes. Regardless if you upgrade, or decided to wait it out, I highly recommended this device to Apple lovers and new MP3 enthusiasts alike.

Pros:
-Brighter, crisper viewing screen
-Better sound
-Video capable
-Aluminum scratch-resistant casing on front
-Concave select button
-Amazing battery-life: 30 hours plus (5 with video)!
-Search features, cover flow, album art
-New colors to choose from
-Games for download via iTunes (3 are on the unit already)

Cons
-Still no built in FM tuner
-Limited space when it comes to video
-Sync port, hold switch, and headphone jack all on the same side"

i took a gamble and bought a used ipod nano 3rd gen from someone other than a store. and it paid off. it works and is great

Had one before liked it because it was small and fit in my bra when running. holds plenty of songs too.

Fantastic. Shipped same day paid for and received in 3 days. Thank you fir such a great transaction. i will deffinetly deal with this seller again if i the need arises

Seller quickly sent out item which was exactly what was described. It was in perfect condition and operates flawlessly. I am very satisfied and look forward to doing more business in the future.

I received the 4 GB Silver iPod on Wednesday. I placed the order on Sunday. Shipping was free for UPS ground but, the product was shipped by UPS 2nd day delivery. The product was in Excellent condition for a lot cheaper price. Last year I was fooled by a different Seller on ebay with a fake iPod. Ever since then I was skeptical about buying in eBay. But after this wonderful experience with these guys, I would recommend anyone to buy from them.

I like the size of the Nano and how functional it is to everyday usage. It is sleek and not to bulking for carrying in your pocket.

This little thing is amazing! My daughter had an Ipod shuffle that I thought was pretty neat but this thing blows it out of the water,hands down this is worth the extra $$. You can store music,tv shows,movies, and much more & even play games. The only thing that my daughter does not like about this is that I keep taking it..heehee. We both are very happy with this, maybe santa will bring one for mom ;0)

the product works amazing don't wait to buy from them. when my headphones broke they responded fast and felt bad. They also sent a new pair the very next day.

exactly as described love that. It took a little long to arrive from yonkers to manhattan but wasn't sellers fault it was the postal service. the product is great and my little sister was very happy.

Easy to use and operate, small size, have over 700+ songs and several podcasts. The seller was very professional and my refurbished iPod was delivered in a timely manner and in excellent condition. The seller even e-mailed me information about setting it up. Now have a docking station and device so I can listen to my music in the car and elsewhere.

I bought this iteam for my daughter she loves it. The only issue I have is that I didn't know this iPod needed windows XP it was a small issue and I should have been a better informed buyer. The iPod is fine, the seller was wonderful. I will and have purchased other iteams off ebay.

My wife absolutely loves it!!!! Easy to use! Bought it for her 60th birthday. She loves having the albums and able to shuffle the songs. She wishes she had one years ago!

EXPECTED A LARGER UNIT BASED ON THE 2ND GEN. THIS IS JUST WHAT I WANTED, MUCH SMALLER THAN MY ITOUCH, SEEMS BETTER ABLE TO GO TO THE YARD IN THE HEAT AND SWEAT.

received product in excellent condition wrapped and nicely packed in box with ear buds never used, just as seller described. Thanks!

its a good learning tool from who does little on the computer and now have an ipod that i want to do alot with . i like a challenge and i am definitely getting that , but i am working thruogh them and accomplishing them .

I love the small size, HD Screen, and metallic color! ALso it capability to run games, music, and videos is great for some one who travels!

I am very happy with my ipod nano. I recieved it promptly. I will definitely use tjos seller again for future products. It sounds great and was great conditioned

For future reference. At least take the music in which is on there, off. And try to package your material better. I'm suprised this thing made it to me in one piece. Don't show a picture of a new one. Especially if it is used. Get a current photo of the one you will be delivering.

Love my I-Pod. i am 65 an not a tecky but this was easy to use. I downloaded many of my CDs. Love the convenience of it. It is amazing to me that people donot understand what "refurbished means" I was the only bidder.
