Apple’s new pink iPod Nano ranks among the best Christmas gifts this year. There are many reasons for this. Here are some of the things that make iPod nano one of the best Christmas gifts for people of all ages:

The iPod offers a variety of uses including:

* view photos – it’s a great “portable photo album”

* listen to your favorite music

* listen to podcasts

* watching videos

* watch favorite TV shows

* listen to audiobooks

The newest and most fashionable color on the iPod scene is pink. iPod nano is in high demand, and its sleek, slim design makes it easy to slip into a pocket or purse.

The “bang for your buck” is tremendous. It’s amazing to think of all the functionality you get for the price!

Half the fun of having an iPod is the accessories: iPod nano comes in a rainbow of colors and offers a wide variety of accessories. You can make a distinctive fashion statement with your iPod!

If you’re looking for some great stocking stuffers to go along with your iPod, there are many available. Anyone who gets an iPod this Christmas will greatly appreciate some accessories to go along with it!

There are many to choose from. One of the most popular options is headphones, although for many people they are more of a necessity than an accessory. They come in many colors so you can mix and match. There are also more “advanced” options with HD sound and different bass settings.

In the same way, you can even buy a hi-fi speaker system and charging station, and it even includes a remote control! There is also a boombox available with a docking station so you can play your iPod on the boombox. I can’t imagine what they will think next, it seems they have already thought of everything possible.

For sports enthusiasts, Apple and Nike have joined forces and created a sports training kit for the iPod nano, just make sure you have a compatible nano as it only accepts 1G-4G nanos. It includes the following features:

* Turn your iPod nano into a personal fitness trainer; nano can provide real-time voice feedback alerting you to training milestones.

* Allows your iPod nano to track race time, distance, pace, and calories burned

* Sync your iPod nano to transfer your workout data to iTunes and nikeplus.com to view your performance history and more

*Kit includes Nike+ Wireless Shoe Sensor and iPod nano Wireless Receiver

* Compatibility: iPod nano (1G, 2G, 3G and 4G)

As you run or walk, the sensor sends information to your iPod, tracking your time, distance, pace, and calories burned. If you choose, real-time spoken feedback can even alert you to milestones throughout your workout. Back at your computer, sync your iPod to transfer your workout data to iTunes and nikeplus.com. There, you can assess your performance record, set goals, and even challenge other runners to a virtual race.

So save money on fitness trainers and bring your Nike+ and iPod for a run outside or a workout at the gym! Then track your progress.

Also for sports enthusiasts and active people, there are different styles of armbands/wristbands and cases so you don’t have to worry about your iPod being lost or damaged.

These are just a few examples of the many accessory offerings available for iPod nano.

Electronic gifts become more and more popular each year and appeal to a wide variety of people and age groups. Many of these types of gifts also have a variety of accessories available for them, making it easy to find Christmas gifts.

Welcome to the electronic age! It definitely helps make holiday shopping easier!
