jade, not sure which apps you are looking for. Here is a quick write up on the nano and it appears like there are not a whole lot of apps that you can add. "Like you can in iOS, you can rearrange the icons, which include: Albums, Artists, Clock, Composers, Fitness, Genius Mixes, Genres, Now Playing, Playlists, Photos, Podcasts, Radio, Settings, and Songs. '''None of them can be added nor subtracted, however—this is not an apps-based device like the iPod touch.''' That said, the inclusion (or retention, I should say) of the Nike+ fitness app and built-in pedometer to customize your workouts helps save the nano from feeling completely feature-barren, as does the FM radio tuner, that, for so long, was absent from iPods." Hope this will clear things up for you. Good Luck.
