There are many types of portable media players for sale today that can download and play music files from your PC or Mac. However, there are far fewer that will also allow you to download and play video files. Add affordability to the mix, and you will be hard pressed to find a portable media device that meets your needs. However, there is one media player that gives you both affordability and video playback capability - the 8 GB Apple iPod Nano.

These iPods cost under $150, yet offer superior music and video storage - you can store up to 2,000 songs or up to 5 hours of video on an 8 GB iPod Nano at once, giving you plenty of media to choose from while you are traveling to work or school, waiting at the airport for a flight, or just relaxing in the evening at home.

Now, you can also choose the color of your iPod Nano's case, giving you the option to personalize your iPod - cases are available in white, blue, red, green, and black. This not only gives you stylish options for your iPod, it also helps you to identify your iPod if you ever misplace it.
