Tiny Mp3 Audio Player. The iPod Nano replaces the iPod Mini. The prior Minis were small, until Apple released the Nano. Holy moly, If you haven't seen one in person, the photos don't do it justice. This sucker is thinner than a #2 pencil! The Nano plays all your MP3s and all the music you have stored in iTunes. This player comes in 2 versions, and 2 colors (White or Black). The 2GB Nano ($199) will hold about 500 songs. The 4GB Nano ($249) will hold approx. 1000 songs. Personally, I'd grab a black 4GB Nano if I didn't have an iPod already. I'm serious, if you don't have an iPod, or don't think you'd use one, I'd think that one over again. Of course, it could be the gadget geek in me saying that. ;-)

Even Tinier Mp3 Audio Player. The iPod Shuffle works slightly different from the mini and standard iPods. With the iPod Shuffle, there is no screen for navigating your music. This is actually a plus!! When you're active, walking somewhere or busy working, you might not be able to change your music anyway. With the iPod Shuffle you can select what music you want on the device via iTunes (just like the other iPods), but when you play the iPod Shuffle your music is randomly chosen for you. There are still play, pause, next, previous and volume buttons on the Shuffle so you can quickly skip a song or stop playback if you need to. There are two versions of iPod Shuffle, a 512MB version and a 1GB version. The larger version will hold about 240 songs, which I recommend over the smaller size simply for the price (better value). There is no simpler MP3 audio device on the market.
