With Apple's 2GB iPod nano, you can hold 33 hours of near-CD-quality music between your thumb and forefinger or carry a combination of your favorite songs and photos. Smaller than a credit card and thin as a pencil, this super-compact player displays your photos and album cover art in bright, vivid colors on its LCD screen. Apple's elegantly simple Click Wheel lets you zoom through menus quickly to find the song or picture you're looking for. The iPod nano comes with some cool extras. Its clock has a sleep timer and alarm function, plus a multiple time zone display. You can even use it as a stopwatch. Transfer your calendar and personal contacts from your PC to the iPod nano to create a portable appointment book and phone list. The player's screen lock keeps your information safe and if you forget the pass code, just sync the iPod nano with your computer to reset it. The player comes with a standard iPod dock connection, so it works with accessories that have a docking cable. An included adapter lets you fit the nano into a variety of powered speaker systems that have built-in docks. The rechargeable battery lasts up to 14 hours, so you're sure to have entertainment at your fingertips. And thanks to its embedded flash memory, the iPod nano never skips no matter how active you are.
