Perfect little ipod
It is the best ipod I’ve purchased. Such a slim perfect little size, really worth it’s value.

excellence in a tiny packet
I had always thought these little things were a waste of time, now I’m flying around the world with one of these my constant companion.

sony i pod
A very neat piece of equipment. Once I got used to the click wheel I was well away. Extremely easy to put music onto especially as I am in my sixties and it is my first i pod.

iPODS AREN’T BUILT TO LAST
Ipods are not built to last – they are prone to numerous faults because of all the unnecessary gadgets they encorporate.

Hard to use click wheel
I like the nano but I cannot get the hang of the click wheel to navigate through the menus. The controls seem to have a mind of their own.

I bought one of these on first sight. OK, it was a little treat to myself and I have had a Nano since 2005 and pretty much used it every day since. That was a great little gadget but this has gone to another level completely. I can’t get over how light and thin it is AND contain 8Gb. My previous Nano wasn’t exactly podgy but this new model makes that look positively obese in comparison. Even the naysayers would have to admit that the technology is very impressive, I don’t know how they are going to top it next time bar including some sort of video capture device. . . maybe? OK, before you think this looks like it has been written by some sort of Apple employee I have to point out 2 aspects which I don’t like. 1) why the hell is the headphone socket placed at the base of the nano? That just seems plain illogical, there’s nothing at the top that could prevent it from being plugged in there. It’s just not right. 2) as with other reviewers here I don’t like the fact that it can no longer charge from things like docks etc. I have a small radio dock and it was good to know I could charge it up without having to occupy a USB port on my Mac. I hope, in time, there will be a work around this. Having said all that it does seem to charge up very quickly, much quicker than the 2005 Nano. If you do have a radio dock tho you will be impressed that it comes with its own dock adaptor. That was something I wasn’t expecting but it was a nice bonus – just a shame it can’t charge from the radio dock. Apart from the 2 gripes mentioned above I think it is great and would recommend it.

The best thing I can do to express my disappointment in this product is to paste my letter to Apple in here. I hope it is useful to other wishing to purchase an mp3 player for training and exercise: Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to complain about my bad experience with my 4th generation iPod Nano, which I have ony had since Christmas 2008. After less than four months of use, the click wheel stopped responding, and I sent the iPod back to be mended under warranty. The iPod was returned to me, unrepaired, with a message saying that the moisture indicator had been activated, showing that the iPod had been subject to a “spillage” or “submersion”. This is not the case. The only way moisture could possibly have entered the product is sweat when I have used the iPod for exercise. Even then, I am surprised that this could have happened:I have always used a protective case when using my iPod for this purpose. After searching the internet, it seems that this is a common problem. Given that the iPod nano is marketed as an ideal product for exercise (indeed, it is listed as a use on this very form) I think it is extremely bad customer service that damage resulting from such use is not covered under the warranty. Either the product is suitable for this purpose, and should be repaired when it fails to operate under these conditions, or it is not, and should not be marketed as such. This experience has shaken my faith in Apple as a company: not only am I likely to switch to a competitor company such as Creative for my next mp3 player, but I am also questioning my status as a mac user (I currently use an iMac at work, and a MacBook with Time Machine at home). Given mac’s woeful incompatibility with other mp3 players, I am unlikely to chose a mac over a PC for my next computer at work or at home. I also suspect any warranty service on mac products would be equally miserly. Yours faithfully, Will Hoppitt

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.
