2. Great Battery Life And Good Sound Quality

Despite the most minimal of dimensions, the iPod Nano has a color display.

Our test shows that under non-stop play, battery life is an impressive 14 hours and 20 minutes. These measurements are based on a volume level of exactly 60 percent. The sound from the accompanying headphones can be described as adequate; the miniature model can of course hardly be compared to larger models off the hi-fi shelves. The reproduction quality, however, is more than sufficient, and the earphones are even able to provide noticeable levels of bass when playing appropriate audio passages.

The Apple iPod Nano is the flattest MP3 player with color display available at the moment.
