Not the most feature-rich Flash MP3 player, but still the sexiest – and the second-generation Nano addresses all the weaknesses of its predecessor. ...
Abstract: Flash MP3 players, the kind that use no-moving-parts Flash-based memory rather than a hard disk drive, used to be the poor cousins of MP3 royalty like Apples iPod, with enough space for just a few albums and often quite cheap and tacky build quality. ...
Abstract: redesigned, well-priced music player: When Apple refreshed its product range in September the iPod Nano got a significant makeover. It still uses flash memory, rather than a mini hard drive, but its gained some of the curves of the iPod ...
