Ipod Nano 3rd Gen
A Review
I’ll keep this simple and non-technical; enough has been written on the iPod iterations in that regard. Here’s my take on multi-day field use around water. Note that I use one currently and am completely satisfied with what’s been achieved in this little package. Let’s look at the ‘bilitys’:Storability: The Nano is a patch on it’s bigger brother for capacity but you can still get 2000 songs and 25000 pics on one, easily enough for the most extended outing. I don’t always like music in the wilderness but I like it on tent bound days and for travel on both ends. My favorite app though, is tunes for breaking camp. I used a tape player to help keep the head in line when I worked as a river roustabout many summers gone. I’ve taken one with me on every trip since. Most importantly for me is the need for a favorite tune to set my personal rhythm on the water, or to psyche up the spirits when facing an especially dicey looking piece of water. And I downloaded a video of last year’s Super Bowl game for a trip last month, thinking that stuck in a tent for several days in a row, it might be a fun to kick-start the NFL season!Portability: Perfect size, nearly wafer like. Would want it no smaller. Good size to slip in Otterbox 3rd gen Armor Case and clip in pocket of PFD for moisture protection. Or alternatively, slip in Atlantic’s Ego Ice waterproof speaker case. Charge time was sufficient for a week (although I didn’t watch the game).Performability: Proven iPod heritage. Solid. Looking closely, I have always appreciated lock buttons on field electronics and the Nano has a good one.See my upcoming reviews on both Otterbox 3rd Gen Armor case and Atlantic’s Ego Ice (either or both of which are highly recommended if you take this unit a field). MSRP: Nano 8G $199
