Which iPod should I get?

For christmas, Im getting an iPod, as my last Creative mp4 player broke. I want to get second generation iPod Nano, because everyone else has one, they’re big, but not so big I cant hold it in my hand, and small, but not so I can loose it.

Although, My parents want me to get Generation 3, because “By christmas, everyone will get that one and you’ll be out dated” But I dont want to get one because they’re too big. I want to be able to fit one in my hand.

So, heres you’re part.

Which should I get? Gen 2, or Gen 3? Has you’re generation 3 had troubles? Or has your generation 2 broke?

:) Thanks.

Answer #1

To be honest, I’d agree with your parents and get a 3rd Generation iPod Nano. In actual fact the Gen 3 iPod Nano is smaller than the Gen 2 - its a bit fatter by 1/5th, but almost 1/3rd shorter, and they’re both as thick as each other. Having used one in real life, it easily fitted in the palm of my hand - so there’s no problem with the Gen 3 iPod Nano in that regard.

The differences in what Gen 2 and Gen 3 are able to do are huge. Gen 2 was able to play music, and you could show pictures on it. Gen 3 plays music, show pictures, plays movies (on its super sharp screen), and the battery lasts longer than the Gen 2. Also on the Gen 3 the software on it is newer, and you can flick through your music collection using a new feature called “Cover Flow” which shows your music by the album artwork.

The choice is up to you. Either way, both Gen 2 and Gen 3 are going to fit in your hand. So personally I’d go with Gen 3 because of the extra features.

Thanks, I think ill go for gen 3. I only didn’t want to get it cause I have really small hands, so that kind of killed it off when I saw it in the store. But the extra features are much better, so Ill go and get Gen 3.

Thanks for you’re help
