Apple iPod Nano 8GB (5th Generation) Review

Apple’s iPod is the most popular MP3 player out there, if someone I know has an MP3 player it’s an iPod. I don’t think I’ve even seen an MP3 player lately that isn’t an iPod. The last time we reviewed an iPod at was the iPod Nano (3rd Generation). Today we have its successor the iPod Nano (5th Generation). This new iPod Nano was announced back in September and has a few features that previous iPod’s just didn’t have including a video camera, microphone, FM radio and a speaker. Let’s take a look and see what this new iPod is all about. Geeks.com was nice enough to provide us with the iPod Nano 8GB to review, Geeks.com is a great place to find cheap MP3 players.

Packaging
We received the iPod Nano from Geeks.com and if you haven’t ordered from them before you should! Their shipping is very quick and everything comes nicely packed. They also use air bubbles in their packaging instead of the peanuts that go everywhere.

The iPod came in a larger box and inside we found the iPod in its retail box. Opening it up you will find the iPod, USB cable, and dock adapter. This is a used iPod so it does not come with ear buds.
