Advantages: Tiny Disadvantages: Scared it will snap!
I bought my first Nano a week ago and have had to take it back to the shop to change it already. For some reason I had problems getting it to turn on sometimes but the shop exchanged it for me and the new one seems to be fine.
To being with, it really is a small as the adverts make out, if not smaller. When I first saw it I was shocked! The 4GB can hold approx 1000 songs and can also store photos but this obviously takes up memory so the more photos you have, the fewer songs you can store.
Apparently the first batch of Nano's had problems with the screen cracking and people have said to be careful of forgeting its in your pocket and sitting down. This didn't surprise me as it is so thin but I have sat on it a number of times! Once for 40 mins in a lecture and it has been fine!
It does more than just store music and photos though ...
Advantages: A whole 4 GB of data storage Disadvantages: Size, prone to getting lost

Advantages: Its a MAC product! Disadvantages: Dont sit on it!
Since the launch of podcasting the wife has hijacked my 3G iPod! So with my birthday fast approaching decided to purchase a second iPod for my own personal use. Now a two iPod family!
So how much? Purchased in Australia, so with my tax back at the airport, just over £150.
What do you get? Well not a lot actually. Just the basic Nano iPod, a USB2 cable, a set of earphones, installation disk, two stickers (to advertise apple) and a set of instructions. Packaging is the usual MAC uber cool, a delight to open.
What don't you get? No charger, no firewire cable and no docking station. I guess to keep the cost down you get the bare minimum, but enough to get you up and listening to your itunes.
Wont go to much into the details of the product as you can find all the technical stuff on the apple website. But basically it is 4gb ...
