As to be expected, Apple has come up with an innovative addition to their MP3 player line in the iPod Nano. With blue, whist, pink, silver, black, green, and now special red edition, you can pick from as combined total of six different colors for your iPod Nano.
Of course, black goes with everything as everyone knows. The iPod Nano, black or otherwise, is one of Apple’s low capacity iPods and uses a flash drive instead of a hard drive like its big brother, the video iPod. When this tiny device was first introduced, it gave Apple a black eye. The iPod Nano initially had some manufacturing defects that caused screens to crack, and the devices were prone to scratching.
Once the bugs got worked out though, the Nano has turned out to be a solid MP3 player with photo storage and viewing capabilities. Unlike the video iPod, the Nano does not play video unfortunately. However, it does what really counts: it plays music and does it well.
The iPod Nano comes in three storage capacities: 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB. It might not sound like a lot, but the 8GB iPod Nano can hold 2,000 songs! This device is even thinner (and much lighter) than the video iPod, and the only thing smaller is the iPod Shuffle. If you’re looking for a small, simple device to hold your favorite tunes and pictures, the iPod Nano may be an ideal choice for you.
Harsh Economic Realities
Now for the bad news: prices start at $149 for a 2GB iPod Nano (cheap iPod) and go up to $249 for an 8GB version. Now while $149 is a so-so price for the 2GB unit, the 
reason this is “bad news” is because there are a number of low capacity MP3 players from companies like Creative, iRiver, and MobiBlu that cram more features into small packages – sometimes at a lower price.
For instance, the MobiBlu Cube2 Is equipped with 2 GB of memory but also has ability to play video and function as an FM transmitter, and it is still less expensive than an iPod Nano. Even Apple computers own 30 GB video iPod costs as much as an iPod nano, so it’s more economical to purchase a video iPod and you’ll end up with four times more storage capacity than the 8 GB Nano. However, if having a light and superslim MP3 player is important to you, then the black iPod Nano may still be the best choice for you.[tags]black iPod nano, MobiBlu Cube2, video iPod, cheap iPod, 2GB iPod Nano[/tags]
