Apple iPod Nano 2GB MP3 Player

The Nano is the best designed MP3 player I have ever seen or used. While they made it look all slick and shiny, it has to lose some points because it's so easily scratched. I would like to see Apple come out with a more "hardened" version that is meant to take the abuse that a flashed based MP3 player should expect to take. - The Review

Must use iTunes to interface with Itunes ??

Sir maybe you need to do your research a bit better

YamiPod allows you to manage the content of your iPod without the need to have iTunes installed. You can copy mp3 and AAC files to/from your iPod, import and export playlists, search for songs, remove duplicates, create and edit notes and much more. The program runs completely standalone and can be copied directly to your iPod and run from there. Other features include a built-in music player, lyrics support, iPod information display (owner, serial used space etc.), adding and editing of notes and more.

Yes it works with the 4gb Ipod Nano as I just tried it myself

I know there are various ways to put things onto an iPod without iTunes, but how well it does it is a different story.

As for "YamiPod"... I don't know if a third party, beta, freeware app is the best bet for anything. But, I can't say for sure on this as I have never used an iPod! Laughing

Bah. I got a Nokia NGage QD. With Symbian on it, I've loaded several apps and added a 1g MMC card. I now can use my bluetooth headset (Motorola HS830 w/ motorcycle helmet headset) to listen to MP3s. Makes the mini look short on features.

Nah, it has a lanyard so I can take out the modular bluetooth unit and put it on the lanyard for use off-bike. The bluetooth piece is also compatible with some other accessories like a car kit.

If the nano came with bluetooth, then it would be the clear winner as an mp3 player, but without it, it's just a small mp3 player.

With arguably more devices being produced than one could keep up with, having a single, interconnected protocol that all devices can use is necessary. Having cords looped around your desk, through your shirt or wherever is inconvenient. By converging your devices to perfom multiple functions, such as PIM, MP3, and communications, you can lighten your load and increase productivity and by adding bluetooth, when your device is in range to your computer, the device can automatically synchronize.

While my N-Gage may not have the superior audio fidelity of a dedicated device, I can't hear the difference at 60 mph inside a helmet, but when I need a phone to call 911 I have it right there at a single touch without fiddling to change devices.

Sorry... I just got to this (been busy).

I'm really not going to get into an argument over this, as it's petty. Nor am I going to say that I covered every possible base of every possible thing that you can use or do with an iPod. After all, no one would read a 40,000 page review.

Also, you are here to prove some point, maybe you have something to do with that software? Let's face it, if you were honest in trying to correct something you think is wrong, you would have tried to contact me directly instead of posting this stuff. As you have contradicted your self many times here.

So, with all that said... I can say I'm pretty much done with talking about your view of this. If you don't like my review, I'm sorry. The Internet is a big place, have at it.
