Dear friend,

If you would like to discover the reason so many people are going wild for this portable, easy to use product that plays all of your favorite music MP3’s, audiobooks and stores thousands of digital photographs, then keep your eyes glued to this page!

Are you tired of spending hundreds of dollars on music CDs when often there are only a handful of good tracks on any given disc? Would you like to enjoy the convenience of having thousands of audiobooks available for quick download to take with you, wherever you go? Do you need a portable, sleek and attractive device to store your favorite digital photographs on?  Read on and learn how easy this wonderful micro sized device is to use, how many fun and useful functions it can perform and why you need the 2G iPod Nano from Apple!

I used to carry around a portable CD player with a knapsack full of CDs wherever I went. I was always burdened with the excessive luggage, and my song selections were still very limited to the limited tracks available in the collection that I brought with me. What’s more is that I was constantly damaging my CDs and their cases by transporting them around with me everywhere. Over the years most of us have purchased an entire room full of hardware and electronics to keep us entertained. We have stereo systems, CD Players, digital card readers for our laptop computers, stacks of CD’s stored on shelves, boxes of photo albums and shelves full of old dusty books. We could literally fill up crates with the stuff we have accumulated. Well, what if I told you that at only .27 inches thin and 1.5 ounces, iPod nano can do what used to take thousands of dollars worth of hardware to do, all within its diminutive design. This revolutionary and compact design makes it easy to bring your entire home entertainment system with you on the road wherever you go! You can fit an entire home entertainment system into your back pocket! It literally holds hundreds of hours of music and data and thousands of photographs!

The 2 G Apple iPod Nano design is so compact that it is ideal for wearing at the gym. Whether you are exercising on a treadmill, doing laps around the track or pumping iron, the sleek design is comfortable and out of the way. It even includes a built in stop watch so that you can log your best times! You can easily listen to your favorite MP3s, or audiobooks while safely exercising to the beats of your favorite Superstars!

What’s more is that as well as holding all of your favorite entertainment, the 2 G Apple iPod Nano will also hold PodCasts! iTunes lets you subscribe to free PodCasts — radio shows delivered over the Internet to your computer — and sync them to iPod nano. There are already thousands of PodCasts to subscribe to! That’s right! Downloading your favorite Spanish or History lesson is just as simple as downloading your favorite photographs or MP3s! You can show up for that important university lecture prepared after prepping yourself with your professor’s key points via Pod Casts! It is as simple as playing back your favorite tune! This is a great feature for business professionals as well as students! Show up at the office meeting informed about the latest market trends and other information that is being transmitted by Pod Cast! With the iPod you can listen to cutting edge information while driving to work or sitting on the subway car! The iPod Nano has up to 14 hours of battery life, so you won’t have to worry about recharging during the course of your busy day. You will be informed, interested and entertained all day long!

The iPod design is absolutely beautiful. Sleek and stylish, its bright color display allows any user to easily access all of its functions, even at night time or in the dark.  The Apple Click Wheel located on the front of the iPod Nano makes it simple to roll through all of its functions. This unit comes complete with A Dock Connector that fits an entire ecosystem of iPod accessories. With so many features like these, iPod nano will change the way you entertain yourself.  Although they come in both Black and White models, this unit is Black. It is in mint condition and has never been used. The body has no scratches or wear marks whatsoever. It is I impeccable condition. So once again, here is a list of the features of this unit. 

• Finding and playing music on iPod nano is simple. Menu options let you browse by artist, composer, album, song, and genre or play list. Want to mix things up? Click Shuffle Songs.
• IPod nano makes your music look as good as it sounds, thanks to a 1.5-inch color display. The album art appears alongside your songs, so you see your music as you play it.
• The iTunes Pod cast Directory features thousands of free pod casts — radio shows you subscribe to — including favorites from such big names as ABC News, Adam Curry, ESPN, KCRW, WGBH and many more. Browse and subscribe to PodCasts, then sync them to your iPod nano and listen anytime, anywhere. PodCasts appear in their own menu on your iPod nano, so you can navigate them easily.
• The digital shelves of the iTunes Music Store are stocked with more than 11,000 audiobooks — including such exclusives as the entire Lord of the Rings series — so you can catch up on your reading wherever iPod nano takes you. Stephen King and L. Ron Hubbard are also featured, to name just a few! Browse audiobooks from their own menu on your iPod nano. Set a chapter marker when you stop “reading,” and pick up the audiobook right where you left off. You can even change the read speed to suit you.
• IPod nano holds up to 25,000 photos you can sync from your Mac or Windows PC via iTunes. Use the Click Wheel to scroll through photo thumbnails the same way you scroll through song titles. To see a photo full-screen, click the center button. You can even view photo slideshows, complete with music. Just select Slideshow Settings and choose the time between slides, the transition effect and the music.
• Calendar & Contacts. Ever forgotten a doctor’s appointment or wished you had a friend’s address handy? Good thing iPod nano lets you take your calendar and contacts with you. With support for Address Book and iCal on the Mac and Outlook or Outlook Express on the PC, plus industry-standard vCalendar and vCard files, iTunes syncs your calendars and contacts so you can access everything with a quick spin of the Click Wheel.
• World Clock. IPod nano’s nifty World Clock lets you check the time, fall asleep to music and wake up to it, too. Open more than one clock to scroll between as many time zones as you choose. The clock faces even appear white or black to indicate day or night in different time zones. Want to doze to your favorite tunes? Turn on the Sleep Timer. Just remember to set the built-in Alarm Clock to your favorite wake-up tune.

• Your calendar, contacts and the World Clock appear in the Extras menu, along with a few more handy items. Take the Screen Lock, for example. Use the Click Wheel to choose a four-digit combination and protect your iPod nano from prying eyes. Store Notes that sync your to-do lists. Or try the built-in Stopwatch that logs your best times. Do you have a long commute to school or work? Then take advantage of four fun games that are stored permanently on the unit: Music Quiz, Solitaire, Brick and Parachute. These will definitely help you pass the time away without getting bored.

• When inspiration strikes, feel free to rate songs or create playlists right from your iPod nano. To create an On-the-Go play list, select a song, then press and hold the center button until the song flashes. To rate a song as it plays, click the center button until you reach the ratings screen. Scroll the Click Wheel to choose a star rating and press the center button to save. Your On-the-Go Playlists and song ratings even sync back to your home computer!

It is so easy to customize menus, check capacity, change from one language to another, and change how your iPod nano sounds. Adjust the Equalizer and all the rest of the functions from the Settings menu. Click About to see how many songs are on your iPod nano and how much capacity you have left. Click Main Menu to select what items appear in your Main Menu. Tweak the built-in equalizer. Or set your maximum volume limit. Everything you need — from backlight timer to audiobook speed — appears in the Settings menu.

Let me give you an example of how easy it was to get the hang of. When I first got mine I had just picked up a new CD. I also found a catchy song in the iTunes Music Store. I am a real Jazz-fusion fan and love Stanley Clark. I have also been subscribing to several free PodCasts of my favorite radio show. To transfer all of this I just plugged it in. iTunes Auto-Sync did the rest. It was that easy. This product doesn’t take a rocket scientist to use!
 
Sounds Easy
Perfectly attuned to one another, iPod nano and iTunes give you a seamless sound experience, from download to sync. Just purchase music from the integrated iTunes Music Store or import it from your CDs. Add photos to iPhoto on a Mac or Adobe Photoshop Elements or Adobe Album on a Windows PC. Update it with your Address Book and iCal on the Mac or Outlook Express on the PC. Then connect iPod nano to your computer via USB and all your stuff syncs in a cinch. The transmission occurs automatically.
 
The moment you connect iPod nano to your Mac or PC, iTunes Auto-Sync gets to work. You don’t have to press a button. Auto-Sync updates everything you’ve added since your last sync — every song, every PodCast, every audiobook. Oh yeah, if you have more in your iTunes library than will fit on your iPod nano, don't worry. iTunes will create a playlist that fits your style — and your iPod nano’s capacity. If you’d rather hand-pick what goes onto your iPod nano, feel free. Just drag and drop exactly what you want from your iTunes library onto iPod nano and go.
 
So let me go through this all again, one more time, very quickly. This Black Ipod Nano 2 G not only stores all of your favorite CDs, MP3s and Photographs, but it also lets you subscribe to free PodCasts — radio shows delivered over the Internet to your computer — and sync them to iPod nano.The iTunes Music Store features more than 11,000 audiobooks, including the first six Harry Potter audiobooks, the Lord of the Rings, Stephen King’s Dark Tower Series and many other exclusive downloads available nowhere else. So you can literally keep yourself entertained for hours listening to radio transmissions or musical tracks in HI-FI, or read your favorite book and show off your favorite photographs anywhere, anytime, all with this micro sized, sleek and portable device that has changed the way people entertain themselves.
