Development work on the design of the iPod nano started only nine months before its launch date. Apple released some accessories, including armbands and silicone "tubes" designed to bring color to the nano and protect it from scratches, as well as a combination lanyard-earphone accessory that hangs around the neck, and avoids the problem of tangling earphone cords.
Testing by technology-enthusiast website Ars Technica has shown that even after being sat on, dropped by a jogger, dropped four times from a car moving at various speeds, then being driven over twice by the car, and finally dropped from nine feet onto concrete, the unit's screen was damaged but it could still play music. The unit finally stopped playing music after being thrown 40 feet into the air and landing on concrete.

I got an ipod nano when they first came out. Unfortunately the early ones scratched very easily so I have to be careful with it. Still works well though particularly with the Nike+ kit for running. It’s great for the gym too.

I got my ipod nano a couple of xmas’s ago whilst at uni, mainly for using on the train between shrewsbury and liverpool and walking to lectures. it was a big upgrade from the tiny mp3 player and is good to take on holiday when connected to the ideck. i now find i cant walk for long distances without music (lol)

I own one and i LOVE it! I found it lying in the street, and no one claimed it, so it’s now all mine! I had to buy all the acessories, like charger and USB cable.
I want to get a iPod Touch later.

i have this ipod and it’s alright, i’ve have it for about three years and it still hasn’t crashed (considering its been through the washing machine, down the stairs onto a stone floor and dropped goodness only knows how many times, thats pretty amazing! i think)

now here is a damn good iPod! i love these things! they are perfect in every i think, but yes the battery is a major problem. And the fact that they havnt updated the firmware in ages is kinda annoying, but that is all overcome by the sheer beauty of the thing. I love the older syles of the iPod, and the new Nano is pretty painful to hold after a while i have to say. I own pretty much all th iPod cuz i bought them from an op shop last year, and i try to update every time a new one comes out.

July 10th 2009 – R.I.P Nano 1st Gen.
You served me well for almost 4 years. Thank you for telling me dramatically that it was time I get the Ipod Touch. You will be missed.

It was great until someone stole it yesterday (along with my handbag) – can anyone remember how much it cost to buy (May 06) as I got it for a birthday present and the insurance company want to know the value.

apple uses child labour people!!!!!!ipods suck!!!
badkaren on June 14th, 2010 at 4:57 pm says:
it’s been more than 5 years but i STILL have my nano and despite the fact that i closed it in the car door and is now warped, it still functions perfectly
the battery life may be pretty much toast, but i only use it in the car where it’s constantly plugged in so no worries.
