This nano has had some vast improvements from the first generation all those years back. The screen has enlarged, and is very good. The colours and clarity is exceptional for something this small. It is a lot thinner, less than 1cm, and has a nice curved shape. It has a new feature not before seen on the nano, let alone any ipod, and this is a shaking the ipod to change track. The genius software is very good and I find very useful and selects suitable matches for my music library. Also, new with this generation is the accelerometer built in. This allows you to turn the ipod on its side to watch video. The price is very good, but is still expensive for its capacity. However, this is made up for in superb free software that is very easy to use and master. Also, this is by far, the most accessory orrientated MP3/4 player. However saying this; some of the new generation ipods including this one don't work on old docking stations. You may want to be aware of this if you intend to use old accesories.

A good looking dinkey little product easy to use, except itunes is a bit fiddley when putting photos onto it. I got a very nice clear case free with a special deal iPod Nano Case - PG603 IceBox as to actually be able to see the nice colour without greesing and scratching it.

There does seem to be a problem with it disconnecting when doing certain jobs such as putting photos on (every 5 or so pictures it will say diconnected and then carrys on) and when using my old charger for the mains (unable to charge at all). But this is most likey a faulty cable and it seems fine with putting audio on.

Extras and in the box: genius is helpful for random but actually good playlists, accelormeter (however its spelt) is fun and cool especially for games. Colours are very nice, screen is very qood quallity headphones are comfortable but not special.

Bought this for my son's birthday. Was surprised how thin and small it is, but is very stylish and a great colour. Does exactly what it says it does. Very simple to download music/videos using the Apple itunes store, you may pay a bit more here but I have had to query a download in the past and they responded within 24hrs and reimbursed me - so I would say you are paying for a good service from Apple within the price. I had previously been told the earphones weren't up to much, but I think they are adequate. Would recommend buying a cover (not a skin) to keep it in to give added protection to the screen and case. Great buy - have asked for one for my birthday!

New Apple iPod nano 8GB - Greenprevious to the nano I had a Archos 504 which was did what it said on the tin but when I saw the nano ad I was drawn instantly, wanting to pop my Ipod cherry.The nano has some great points such as the accelerometer with cover flow, the amazing colour and picture quality and the great bright colours that get you noticed anywhere but sadly the nano feels as if the designers coudn't stop designing for example world clocks & alarms and will apple ever supply us with proper earphones ! these ones won't do they fall out my ears all the time and the volume is appaling ! but as i use the nano there is a niggling in the back of my mind always thinking of the touch which has a lot more for not a lot more.

I still highly recommend the Ipod nano, it's bang for your buck. But if you do buy the nano you have to buy some proper earphones.

I was very please with this product. It was a shame the software froze. But I was very pleased with amazon's response when it broke. I got a replacement ipod sent out straight away.
