I have long since been a fan of the Nano. The latest offering from Apple is the best yet!
Styling
The range of colours on offer ensure there's one to suit all tastes. The large, vibrant screen is a huge step up from the previous Nano, allowing easier browsing and clearer pictures/videos. The new shape now incorporates a bevelled edge around the sides, which makes the iPod feel very thin in your hand. The metal casing gives a cold feel and weight to the device which gives it a durable, yet ultra modern appeal.
Sound Quality
In my opinion, the sound quality Apple offers in its range of iPods has always been second to none and the latest Nano doesn't disappoint. With loads of equaliser settings available its easy to find the sound you want. The supplied headphones are comfortable and stylish, but in my experience, too delicate - i've went through 3 in the last 18 months, but I still go back for the crisp clear quality!
Features
With the accelerometer from more expensive iPods now incorporated into the Nano, it now responds to movements as well as key strokes (flip the Nano horizontally and you can scroll through album's). Videos can now be played on the Nano which is fairly easy to do and the new games use the movement of the iPod as controls. The Genius playlist can be used on the Nano, which compiles a list of music based on an initial song selection to provide you with a playlist that suits your mood.
Value
For the same price I paid for my 2nd generation 4GB Nano I got my 8GB 4th generation! As always, the price for an iPod is slightly higher than that of its rivals, but in my opinion its worth the extra money!
Would have been a better review if you had mentioned more about the various features etc that the iPod has on it, and provided other information such as the battery life you have found during your usage.
Advantages: Easy to use, Good sound quality, Aesthetically stunning, strong brand recognition and values Disadvantages: Games! which is why there are PSP's
