I purchased a Silver Apple iPod Nano last year to replace a large cumbersome hi-fi. This the first iPod product I have ever owned.
The (silver) iPod Nano 4th Gen has a very light and thin design in a brushed steel effect. It is a very sleek design that is easy to handle. It has a satisfactory screen size with excellent graphics.
Although I have not used the included headphones, preferring my own existing ones, I have found the sound quality to be second to none, with a crisp clear acoustic on both headphones and speaker. Easily customisable sound options include the usual choices from Classical options through to heavy base etc.
Some of the features on the iPod Nano include alarm clock, date and time, games, Genius playlist, repeat functions etc all of which I have found very satisfactory, easy to set up and use.
I purchased this iPod for £109 which included a free £25 iQue Speakers gift which has worked well. I have found the value for money very good and am pleased with the purchase.
The only disadvantages I have found with the iPod Nano would be its size, being so narrow the charging port and headphone port are very close together which means that it is sadly impossible to listen whilst it is on charge - not a major disadvantage, but a small annoyance if you're listening/watching something and the battery is on its way out. It charges quickly and the battery life is good though so it could be worse.
