Apple iPod nano 16 GBWhite Silver, 2.5 Display

When I pay over ten grand for a music player, I expect it to be phenomenal. Imagine my surprise when the music quality turned out to be the same as my Blackberry (and BB isn't even a music phone!) I've been told that the real difference between the two would become apparent if I shell out another 8k on really good speakers but frankly I can't be bothered. Oh, and the Genius playlist feature that they advertise so much? Non-functional, unless you happen to have an Apple account, which you can't have unless you want to give up your credit card information, and that's the last thing I'm going to do. Stupid, over-hyped, over-priced product. But the music quality is decent enough if you don't like listening to music on your phone or your phone is an old Nokia S40. Still, you'd be better off buying one of those Sony MP3 players. At least when their music quality turns out to be average, you won't want to cry at all the money down the drain.

1. If you are from India and want to spend 13k on an Apple product go for the previous generation iPod Touch, its worth it. 2. If you are from India and want to spend 13k on a Nano, don't, go for a Sony Walkman or a Cowon product. 3. If you are a from India,and a die-hard Apple fan-boy, its not my forte to convince you, go for it, but try to get it from USA via friends/relatives, which I did. It cost me $149 + 3% of the cost for exchange price(total around 8.6k). 4. If you are not from India and the price of this Nano isn't THIS HIGH then go for it its a very nice product. 5. And I am not one of those people who rate a product one star because of its price. This is a very nice product, its very light, very touch-friendly, earpods are definitely better than the previous gen earphones and the Bluetooth is a nice addition.

I have used ipod nanno 5th generation before and it took me some time to get used to this little beast. The pros - (1) Just 30 grams. (2)16GB is more than enough for my music collection. (3)EarPods are a nice addition, it fits in your ear like a charm, even a bumpy bike ride couldn't get this out from my ears. (4)The touch is great and the screen resolution is perfect for the screen size. The cons - (1)Missing a video camera, though I didn't use the video camera in 5th generation but it could have been an added advantage. (2)Apple should have supplied EarPods with volume control. (3)You can watch movies as well, but come one, movie in 2.5 inch screen, thanks. For anyone who is comparing this with other players, come on guys, this player is so light weight that I do not even feel that it is in my pocket, so damn light. The other cheap players are quite heavy when compared to this one. IMO there is no point in buying an MP3 player that is heavy, we have phones for that, don't we? WS retail did a great job too, I opted for in a day delivery and it was delivered as promised with proper packaging.
