Question: which ipod do i buy to hear books? Hi.  I don't have an Ipod.  Which Ipod should I get so I can listen to books and transfer my cd's?
Document: that makes it unusable for that application. I had to buy a different FM receiver in order to accomplish what I wanted. This should not effect anyone else unless used for that specific purpose as a i second delay from transmission to the ear would never be noticed unless you can also hear the same station simultaneously fro an other radio.
This is a wonderful ipod for all my portable needs. I needed a new ipod because the one i previously owned was really out of date from years back. I needed one that was lightweight (since my school bag tends to get heavy at times with books, etc) and I wanted one that I could use at the gym. This fits all my needs.
The voice and voice memos function work great so does the radio but the radio requires headphones to get a signal but other than that you can listen to your tunes without headphones. As for the video camera it's a nice addition considering it's an mp3 player first and foremost, I think people are going to go into this and think maybe I can replace my old video, NO.
I really like the new Nano. It couldn't get any smaller or human fingers wouldn't be able to push the buttons. All the features are great. My only complaint is the confusion over the AV cable to watch your videos on a television. My old cable doesn't work and evidently you have to buy a new one from Apple which is VERY expensive. Other companies will most likely be selling cheaper cables in a few months, but I can't find one yet that is reasonably priced and that I know will work.
I wanted to get a nano with a larger amount of space because my collection had grown subtantionally, and my 8bg 4th gen was ready to pass on. I took a lot of things into account:I wanted to be able to listen to the bulk of my music and old time radio collection with minimal switchouts from having to plug into my home computer. Coming from an 8gb 4th gen Nano, the 16gb easily met that need.I also wanted my video colection still with me.
I've had and purchased a few different MP3 players, but I've been waiting for Apple to put a radio in the iPod and I'm glad I did. This little thing is amazing, and I don't see how they got all this stuff into such a small package. Games, video, photos, a radio (yea), voice recorder and even music.If you're like me and you've been waiting to buy an iPod the wait is over, especially with Amazon's low prices.
I know alot of people will be upset with the title of my review but I personally think that the iPod Nano 5th Generation is the best yet. I just received mine yesterday directly from the Apple online store and have been enjoying the features. I notice that the audio playback has improved alot over the previous generations I could hear hissing in the third generation and didn't really remember how if sounded on the fourth generation because I didn't have it along time.
Recently bought a 5th generation for a gift. The person loved the ipod, specially the new camera feature on the 5th generation. He would not stop making videos and recording. However, the product was defective!!! the volume would go up and down by itself several times while playing music. Took it to a McStore for diagnosis. They rebooted the ipod but the problem continued. Finally we took it to another McStore and they just exchanged it for a new one, eventhough I didn't buy it there.
It's the new iPod Nano. What else is there to say? It's easy to use,and it has great sound quality.Of course, Its a little to thin for my taste, and if you listen while doing any type of exercises, you'll want to turn off the shake shuffle feature.I had the First Generation nano for 4 years it worked perfectly. I wouldn't have bought this one but I needed more space. :)Hopefully this nano will last as long.
This is my third iPod, the others being a 40GB classic (hard drive model) and an 8GB 2g Nano (my wife's). I chose the Nano because I wanted something small and vibration tolerant that I could listen to while active (doing chores, exercising, etc. ).The Good:* Simple, sleek, and cool--worthy of the Apple name. * Small size and relatively large display. * Navigation is straightforward, and syncing through iTunes is simple.
Answer: Here's the dowside of using a Shuffle to listen to books - it is really easy to accidently lose your place in the book.  When this happens, it's a pain-in-the-neck to get back to where you were.  I know you can lock the shuffle so this doesn't happen but then it's a hassle to pause it if, say, someone wants to talk to you.  I have used a Nano for about 4 or 5 years mainly to listen to books.  There are several advantages besides being able to see on the screen exactly where you are in the story.  I love the sleep timer feature.  I set it for 15 minutes and if I happen to fall asleep, I don't run the battery down and I know I only have to go back, at most, 15 minutes.  This is not something you can do with a Shuffle.
