With so many handheld devices on the market these days, the Apple iPod Nano is clearly an excellent choice. But what makes this particular unit such an obvious way to go? Here are some of the advantages that this iPod brings to the table.

iPod nano, the mid-range iPod digital audio player by Apple Inc was launched on September 7, 2005, with an intention to replace the iPod mini.The gadget works with iTunes on Mac OS X or Microsoft Windows connecting through the same proprietary dock connector as the previous iPods using a USB 2.0 port on the computer of the user. Even though it uses the same connection as Apple's FireWire iPod Cable and has the ability to charge the battery over FireWire, the iPod nano doesn't support synchronizing over a FireWire connection. It comes with a stop watch and a multiple time zone clock function.

When shopping for an iPod nano, keep a couple things in mind. What is the single most important thing when buying something? Let me say it another way. You've done your research about a particular product. You've glanced at all the features and advantages. You even went over to look at the product at the store to try it out. But you ended up not buying. Why? Was it the price? The offer? The competition? Maybe, but not necessarily. The fact is, it probably did not fulfill a need...solve a problem.

Basically, the only thing that hasn't changed with the new nano is its name. It sports a retro design, a much brighter display, tons of battery life and a large storage capacity -- all capsuled in a sturdy shell an thinner design. Don't let the extremely thin design fool you, it has plenty of room to hold all your favorite tunes...thousands to be exact. Did we mention video? Now you can watch all your favorite movies or TV shows while on the go. Durable construction and the attractive array of colors make the Apple iPod nano a must have for the music or video lover in you.
