Apple iPod nano 8 GB Purple (4th Generation) [Previous Model]

My new iPOD Nano is just what I need. I keep it plugged in my car, so it is always charged up and ready to use. I love the compactness and portability.

This product is great. I had to have the older model to fit in the waterproof case used for swimming. It works great and I have music to listen to while swimming.

8gb is good enought to save two movies in there. with many songs. easy to use,but
the bettery is so strange that after i charge it for over night and it says fully charge
i put on my cars transmiter the bettery became red which is low, so i don't know if it's the
transmiter.

Bought it because the 5G came out and amazon has a great deal on the 4G. love all the new features, only issue is many of the radios / speakers that charge all the other ipods now say charging not supported on this accessory. The usb charger works and my wall chargers so I don't know what apple did with this. It is my only complaint. (this replaced an older - probably 1G or 2G nano)

Maybe I just got a bad nano, maybe not, but I have had problems with it since I purchased this unit a year ago. My first problem with it was that one day it stopped working right in the middle of an audiobook I was listening to, so I took it in to the Apple Store and they fixed it, but ever since then the battery life has been poor.

Now that the warranty is over, I cannot get it to charge at all, even with it connected directly to the computer. I'll have to take it back in and probably end up paying a lot of money to either fix it or purchase a new one, but I'll be taking a serious look at replacing it with one of the ipod's many competitors.

It's too bad because other than this problem, I really do like it...
