Apple 8GB 3rd Generation Green iPod Nano (Refurbished)

Our iPod arrived promptly looking great. The first time I started it, it would only flash the Apple logo and I had to look up how to reset it (hold down the menu and center buttons for several seconds). But it has worked very well. The display is very crisp and bright and the controls are logical and responsive. The click wheel design overloads a lot of behavior into the same area, so we've had some frustrations when trying to pause a podcast and instead hitting "forward" or "reverse" or changing the volume and having to wait a few seconds until we get out of the volume-setting mode to finally try again and pause. I suspect the optimal size for the click wheel was the size used on the classic iPod. But it does work well when we're looking at the controls. We have young children and they've found it easy to use. And when we don't want them to use it, there's also a nice screen-lock feature that is easy to trigger when desired and doesn't get in the way when not desired. The same is true of the volume-limiting feature. Definitely satisfied.

I just now reviewing this, 2 years later. No problems, still works and is my daughter's only iPod.

love this ipod and would definitly recommend to purchase.good size different shape and works great!

I ordered this ipod for my wife to use at her gym during workouts, she uses it with an armband type holder and even with the perspiration and shock and vibration, this unit seems to be holding up great. I was very surprised to find an apple product for such a good price, normally you need a second mortgage to buy any apple product, but this unit was well packaged and affordable, it came with the ear buds and data/usb cable, no software but this can be obtained over the internet.
