Aside from listening to music though, what can you use your iPod for? Here are just a few ideas for you:  1 .Hand held game console. They may not be much, but the iPod nano DOES come out with four games, that will keep you busy in a pinch!



2 .Storing and displaying photos. As an alternative to lugging piles of pictures around in your wallet, the iPod is great. While you may not have fantastic resolution, and the screen is a little on the small side, it does make a serviceable wallet replacement!



3 .There is also a built in stopwatch, which allows you to record multiple lap times, when running, including the date and time.  Sync your ipod with your PC to map out your next work out with trailrunner . 4 .The iPod can also be used to run Trailrunner, allowing access to maps, time goals, distances and directions.
