Guide Review - Ipod Nano Perfect Casino Companion
The Ipod Nano is the perfect size and I added the optional lanyard headphones that lets me wear it around my neck without having to worry about wires getting in my way as I play. Now when I sit down at a machine all I have to do is put in my ear buds and hit the play button and I am entertained as I play. Many of the poker players are now using Ipods to listen to music that keeps them calm and helps with the boredom of long tournaments.
Whenever I fly I enjoy listening to audio books to pass the time on the plane. I have the smaller 2 gig Ipod Nano and I can put a 20 hour audiobook onto it still have more than enough room for many hours of music.
The Nano uses flash memory instead of a hard drive making it very durable should it get dropped. The only negative I encountered was trying to connect it to my older PC which did not have the faster USB 2 connection. Rather than add a port I chose to use my laptop and the Nano connected with no problems at all.
