Hi my name is Richard and you're now looking at the iPod Nano Second Generation the silver color. Now this is the two gigabyte version but it only comes in silver while the four gigabyte comes in silver green blue and pink and then the eight gigabyte only comes in black. I wish this two gigabyte came at different colors. I mean Apple could have made more money easily but they decided just to stick with silver and I don't mind. I think two gigabytes is more than enough for me because I'm just using these for workouts so if I ever need to switch in and out songs I could easily do it on iTunes. Now some differences between the second generation and first generation is you get a little bit thinner Nano and it's now aluminum cases so the back can't be easily scratched. Scratch is easy of the first generation. It's brighter screen supposedly which I don't see any difference and a longer battery life. I definitely agree with the battery life. I got a four or five more hours than my previous Nano. Another cool features that they added with the new Nanos are the gapless playbacks. If you were to press back to replay the song you won't have that little one to two second pause. Doesn't really -- it's not that great to me. I've seen -- I don't usually repeat songs anyway. Another cool features that if you have a lot of songs you can use the search feature and search by the letters. I don't know if you guys can see it you can search by letters. For example Frankie J you just search by F and all the artists with F name that starts with an F will come up. I thought that's pretty cool if you have a lot of songs. But two gigabytes I mean I can usually just search there really quickly because the click wheel is really easy to use. It's -- I just don't think the Nano is too thin. I have to get a case to bulk it up a little bit more so it's easy to hold. I find it kinda slippery to hold in hand and if I were to exercise I'd be so worried about dropping and breaking it. And all those flush based so there's no skipping at all and this player is really freaking thin. One thing I really hate about it is since I have a previous Nano I have to buy all new Nano accessories just to complement with this. For example I have a _____ headphones for the iPod Nano first generation. They won't fit in to this Nano because they move in to the connector to the right a little bit so you're -- some iPods accessories will not work so just speakers too. So I think that was a bad move on Apple's part. And there's still no extra features like radio FM recording or microphone nothing on here and I just wish Nano will incorporate all the stuff and set maintenance by all these extra accessories like a 50 dollar FM radio remote which makes the headphone line even longer. I think that's kind of ridiculous. And this is iPod Nano second generation the silver edition. And my name is Richard.
