Everyone has heard of mp3 players. Mostly everyone has used one. Many people, however, do not know much about nano mp3 players. Nano players are the same type of portable audio devices as regular mp3 players, only smaller. Nano mp3 players vary in size, but are generally 2-4 inches tall, - 2 inches wide, and usually thinner than a deck of cards.

There are a few different kinds of nano mp3 players. The most popular nanos are, by far, those presented by Apple: the iPod Nanos. The original iPod nano only played music, and was available as a 1GB mp3 player, a 2GB mp3 player, or a 4GB mp3 player. Just recently, however, Apple designed a new Nano, which is available in 4GB and 8GB. The new Nano, along with its new features, comes in a large variety of colors, and is even available as a (RED) product, which, when purchased, contributes to the fight against AIDS. In addition to the iPod Nano, Creative also offers a nano mp3 player. Creative’s nano is called the Zen Nano Plus. The Nano Plus is available in 10 colors of either 512MB or 1GB players.

The price range for nano mp3 players goes from about $60 to around $200. Creative’s Nano Plus 512MB player runs for around $60, and the 1GB player can be found at $75. The original iPod Nano can be found for anywhere from $90 to $130, depending on the storage capacity. The new iPod Nano costs $150 for the 4GB player and $200 for 8GB.

Many people think that nano mp3 players, because of their compact size, have lower quality than regular mp3 players. While some of the nano players, such as Creative’s Nano Plus and Apple’s older iPod Nanos, have less features than regular mp3 players, in that they cannot store photos or play video files, some nano players can be found with the same features as most larger mp3 players. The new iPod Nanos not only have the capabilities to both store pictures and play videos, but it is also designed with a bigger screen than the original iPod Nano, specifically for an improved video watching experience.

Mp3 portable audio is no longer a thing of the future. It is very much present in our day to day lives. It is rare to go out of the house these days and not see someone with headphones in his or her ears. The nano mp3 players make this luxury of constant music listening increasingly popular. As mp3 players continue to decrease in size, yet increase in quality, more and more people will choose to purchase nano mp3 players over original players.
