I received my new 2nd generation nano from the apple store two months ago, and have spent a lot of time getting to know it. I like it a lot, and I think it’ll be the best-selling iPod yet.
Like all iPods, it is easy to learn and easy to use, has EXCELLENT sound quality, and is a real pleasure to use.
THE NEW NANO COMPARED TO THE FIRST GENERATION NANO
This new 2nd generation nano is much improved over the 1st generation model, which came out in September 2005.
* BETTER SCREEN: The screen is noticably brighter (though not any larger). This is especially nice for viewing photos.

* BETTER BATTERY:
A fully charged battery will power the nano for up to 24 hours, compared to only 12 for the 1st generation nano.
(These tests are done under artificial conditions, actual battery life is shorter - but it remains true that the new nano has double the battery life of the old one.)
* ACCESSORIES: The new nano has the same dock connector that all ipods have (except the ipod shuffle), so it will work with virtually all accessories with a dock connector.
The placement of the dock connector and headphone jack is SLIGHTLY different from the previous ipod nano, so certain accessories designed for the first generation nano may not work with the new one.
For example, a case that has an opening on the bottom for the headphone jack - the opening will be in the wrong place.]

The nano stores your music and photos in flash memory, while the larger ipods use a hard drive for storage. Flash memory is more expensive per gigabyte, which is why the top-of-the-line 8 gigabyte nano costs the same ($250) as the 30 gigabyte ipod with video.
But flash memory has two advantages: It’s much smaller, which is how the nano can be so tiny. And there are no moving parts to be damaged when you’re jogging or when your nano accidentally gets nudged off the desk and falls onto the floor.
In contrast, sharp, sudden movements are not good for hard drive-based MP3 players, and might even damage them.
The larger ipod has other advantages: it can play video, such as movies and music videos and episodes of your favorite TV shows.
Many users are often annoyed by how to rip DVD to the iPod, here is a good kit for this Xilisoft DVD to iPod Converter ,is powerful easy-to-use DVD to iPod converter, u can download it on http://www.xilisoft.com/dvd-to-ipod-converter.html
It has a larger screen, which is nicer for viewing photos, and makes it easier to see the album artwork that displays when your songs are playing.
And if you’re willing to pay a few extra dollars, you can download games from iTunes for $5 each and play them on the larger ipod, but not on the nano.
If you already have a larger ipod, the nano makes a great second ipod - you can slip it in your purse, backpack, or briefcase and take up to 2000 songs with you to school, work, or while traveling.
