Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My brother got me the ipod shuffle for my birthday- but luckily the nano was released within 30 days of my return by date!!!! so i got the white nano- there were 2 guys at the apple store returning the black ones because the screen was all scratched up. they ended up going with the white because it's harder to see scratches. knock on wood- i have not experienced any defects with the nano casing or lcd screen. (in reference to the numerous lawsuits being filed) the color screen is amazingly clear. i wear super tight ultra low rise jeans and the nano easily slips into my front pocket! i've never owned, touched, or used an ipod previous to this gift- but i use mac. being able to use my "magic bone" (yeah i'm one of those nerds who name inanimate objects) for ical, contacts, and notes is simply fabulous! currently i'm running jaguar so i had to use isync to synchronize my files- but it's really not a big hassle... though i may change my mind when i upgrade to tiger later on this week. i kept reading info saying you HAD to have 10.4--- NOT TRUE! you just have to do one extra step- click the options button on itunes. if you're going to get a nano- get the 4GB!!!! I'm probably going to give my 2GB to a friend and buy the 4GB... 500 songs is really not enough... plus- i had to delete the entire song directory just so i could download some applications from a friends computer. if you plan on using the nano for data storage and music- get the 4GB!!!! SENUTI- google it- i didn't realize til last week that you couldn't transfer music FROM the ipod nano TO your computer. This program is freeware- and works perfectly for transfering music files. using the nano with Tiger is just one step easier for syncing your ical and contacts- but i still don't think its necessary to run tiger with your nano.
