These cutesy little squares? How? It doesn’t hook onto to anything I wear. You can’t wear it around your neck. Wrist bands are too huge for a woman?

So, you know what, I took it back. mI’ll just do without music.

Apple is really stupid to get rid of the sleek iPod Nano, which worked just fine for me–and for whoever stole mine.

Any ideas? Also, my budget is limited right now.

Thanks.

I pretty much hate doing cardio — step machines and so on — but now I have JACKASS and a bunch of other vids to watch, I now do about an hour of cardio a day.

But who at Apple is the design genius who put the earphone jack on the bottom of the G3 Nano? Or did they think that people would enjoy watching videos at a 45 degree angle? (the earphone jack on the bottom makes it impossible for the nano to sit level on a flat surface.) So I’m in a bit of a love-hate relationship with my G3 at the moment.

It is great for the gym when you have an arm band. The best part is that I never have to buy a CD again! haha I love it if I want a new song that I dont have just go to iTunes and get it for .99 cents. It has been an awesome investment. It will also save you a lot over time. iPod: $210 w/tax, arm band: $25, FM transmitter :$20, grand total: $255 plus new music, so yeah your going to save a lot! Not only that but you never will have to mess with a CD player again or changing CDs. I give it two thumbs up! :)

A light should flash on top. The ipod will ignore all buttons that are pressed until you hold play/pause again.

I figured that it would be perfect for when i got riding (mountain bike) at the local skate park. It’s small, durable, and cheap so landing on it or smashing it on the ground wouldn’t kill me. Well i quickly learned that the shuffle doesn’t have a HOLD function/button like other ipods. So you may hit the buttons and pause/stop it or advance the song…
now i can’t complain since it was free but i’d get the lowest end nano if i was you, it should be perfect.
