Pros: Works well; light&sturdy; extra features and GOOD PRICE.

Review: I THOUGHT I was going to buy an iPod Nano - I have an Intel iMac and I love it. I went to Best Buy because I wanted to look at an 8 gig Nano. I had made up my mind that 8 gb was the minimum capacity I could live with. Well, they hadn't heard of 8 gb... Read Full Review by doublewhammy, Aug 23, 2007
