The iPod Nano brings tremendous features that make iPod the industry leader in which it uses flash memory instead of a hard disk. As a result, it has no moving parts, making it immune to skipping and far more durable than disk-based players. The disk size of ipod Nano is not comparable to that of the iPod Photo or iPod Video. iPod Nano are available in a lighter price tag which brings a hard drive of 1 (240 songs), 2 (500 songs), or 4GB (1,000) songs, starting around $149.

The iPod Shuffle brings a cheap price tag together with the ability to listen to your favorite music, but is lacking in the user-friendly features. For instance, with the shuffle you have no control over the song that is being played, it is completely random. With the Nano, you have all the control you have with the bigger iPod systems, just without the disk space.

The iPod Nano also brings a sleek and thick look like an ink pen or pencil and in a smaller in disk size than the bigger versions. You can easily manage to handle this ipod while you are running or to the gym because of its slimness like the iPod Shuffle so. Most important thing is that you can have control over your listening music unlike in Shuffle.

The knock against the iPod Nano is quite similar the knock against the bigger versions of iPod including the durability. But problem is that Video or Photo will fade out a little quicker than the iPod Shuffle although you will find in every electronic device. In fact you can be taken it to the gym or to run. Still there are few consumers knowingly deals with glitches to this devices and are not hesitating to buy this iopd Nano in a higher price.
