My new bright yellow, 8GB iPod Nano Chromatic brought me into the 21st century! Finally. Don't make fun. This is my first iPod. I could not have received a more appropriate color with yellow being the new hue of 2009!

Now, I'm addicted to both Pandora AND iTunes! $.99 song downloads are like candy I can't stop eating. Plus, buying albums in seconds for less than $10 is amazing! I have to be really careful not to get carried away.

As a PC user, I'm relatively new to Apple products. The technology and style completely outshine PC's in my opinion. Apples's Nano does not disappoint. My 8GB Nano allows something like 6,000 songs, video capability, photos, podcasts, scrollable album cover art and a cool shake-to-shuffle option. Also, the new ipod nanos have a program called Genuis which suggests new songs you may like based on the artists you already enjoy.

Two things that are hard for me to get used to with the ipod nano:
  1. The Nano is sooooo lightweight I feel like I could break it with my pinky. I'm overly sensitive with handling.  
  2. The earphone wire gets on my nerves because they get tied in knots. Any suggestions on how to quickly store them in my purse so they don't get tangled? Let me know. (BTW: I'm not into complicated Boy Scout-style knots. There must be an easier solution.)
Other than these very minor annoyances... I'm totally pleased with my nano. Flights are now more pleasurable, working out is more upbeat (literally) and my music collection is growing at an alarming rate!

Welcome to the world of Apple! Isn't it wonderful? I love my iPod too. I can put so many songs on it. My parents got Wall-E for Christmas and you're supposed to be able to put it on an iPod so I'm going to see if it works with mine.

Santa was very good to you this year! Don't get carried away with purchasing music on iTunes. I sometimes do! I don't know any quick way to store in your purse. I store my earphones in a case that I bought just for earphones. They get on my nerves when they get in knots. Enjoy your first and new iPod.

Sounds like Santa was really good to you. Now the trick is to discipline yourself with purchasing music. Enjoy the new Ipod!
