Macworld Buying Advice
The second-generation iPod nano is both a welcome step back to the more colourful (and scratch-resistant) days of the iPod mini and a moderate step forward in functionality. This middle-child iPod now feels and looks great with its rugged aluminium finish and bright display.
Apple has done nice things with power management to allow the nano to play for 24-plus hours on a single charge. And the ability to quickly search your portable music collection is a nice enhancement – though you may find the click-a-letter search feature more trouble than it’s worth. All in all, this is a worthy successor to the original nano and one that’s likely to be a smash hit this holiday season.
