There&#8217;s also a special red version of the 4GB player that contributes to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">What&#8217;s amazing about the nano is that it looks even smaller than you&#8217;d expect and the click-wheel is almost too small for big-fingered users. However, that&#8217;s a small sacrifice for something this well put together and easy to use. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">Apple has also upgraded its iPod headphones, which went from being adequate to being quite respectable in one move. Detractors will have to look hard to fault the new nano.<\/font> <\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/vb\/showthread.php?t=57644\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Discuss this article<\/a> <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><em>Finweek<\/em> <\/font><\/p>\n<p \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FOR THOSE in the market for a portable music player, the iPod is the natural choice.
