good but apple should give advance notice on new ipods September 10, 2008
it is a great product to be honest, it does what you expect-is easy to use, easy to load, small...
BUT on the very day i recieve it, apple go and announce the new improved ipod nano v5. if i had known this i would have held out for a newer version!
 Almost perfect! September 6, 2008

Don't know about PC users but this iPod synched with my iMac perfectly first time.
Superb screen - crystal clear, if a little small.
Really intuitive - you rarely have to read the manual with Apple products.
Not the best mp3 for sound quality and the supplied ear buds are worthless - buy some decent Sennheiser cans.
Tip: If iTunes cannot find the artwork for your albums just open any website that does show the artwork and drag the image into iTunes. Its easy on the iMac - not tried this on a Windows pc.
Apple Just keep improving it. Even when you thought there was no room. September 3, 2008
When I first saw this product up close I thought it would be too small. And it is small. Incredibly small. But when you turn it on you realise that everything still works brilliantly. The screen is still bright but not garish. I can easily watch a movie in clear quality without blurryness, pixelation or even bad light contrasts. I don't know how apple do it but they manage to squeeze such a fantastic product into dimensions that can comfortably fit into my top shirt pocket.
The wheel is easy to use and doesn't go too fast or too slow when you try and scroll. The scroll even has a great handling ability and unlike previous nanos, I can easily scroll and then stop exactly on the thing I was planning to stop on. The only fault I can find (and this is trying hard) is that the maximum memory is 8gb so I can't fit all the songs on my itunes so I have to go back and delete some awful album extras whenever i want to put a new single or album on. But this doesn't take long and should be done anyway.
So in conclusion I think that.......the ipod touch is better. I beats the nano by a little in everything good about it. Plus it's touch screen and has a bigger screen so better for movies (which I use it for). But if you aren't a gaget person and just want to listen to music and maybe the odd movie or you don't want to spend as much, buy a New Nano. Unoless you want lots of memory in which case buy a classic.
I guess what I'm really trying to say is; buy an ipod!

This ipod is the best i have owned. once again it only gets 4 stars! ....................... want to know why??
because of the poor quality earphones you get with them.
spend over 120 for it and the earphones are awful. mine went straight in the bin, and i splashed out for the bose in-earphones. make such a difference.
other than that the mp3 player is top notch!!!! well recomended
A gem August 9, 2008

My previous portable player was an Aiwa walkman, bought cheaply a decade ago in Singapore which chewed through batteries relentlessly and tended to jump on train journeys. Early reports of poor sound quality prejudiced me against iPods, but I was persuaded to give the nano a trial after the Aiwa gave up the ghost. What a revelation! Brilliant sound, great flexibility and enormous convenience: within two weeks I had downloaded the equivalent of about 100 albums (and have at last run out of memory - but I have the equivalent of 5.2 days of music).
Gripes? Not many. The click mechanism needs to be used carefully to avoid overrunning the item you want on the menu. You need a good memory to track down some items: artists and composers are initially listed alphabetically by first names (can be a problem). The use of the 'song' as the measure is rather irritating for classical music enthusiasts: if you want to buy something over c. 6 minutes in length on iTunes, you usually have to buy the entire album: annoying if you want only one work on the album. I had some initial problems organsing transfers from my CDs, but the absence of problems later suggests the fault was mine. I used the helpline once during that time, and received some useful advice from Apple. And as many reviewers have commented, the headphones provided are not up to much - the Sennheisers recommended by many are excellent (and do not disturb others when used).
In short, a gem.
