What's great about it: Small size, good sound quality, responsive touch screen, has a clip, goes anywhere, ample storage space for many songs
What's not so great: Battery life, it's to small for some people, is pretty much only good as a music player
I really enjoy this little iPod. I got it to use during workouts because my iPod touch is to big and bulky. I've had it a month and so far it's serving its purpose well. It holds 8Gs of music, which is more than enough for me. You can find pretty much everything on iTunes, which is awesome. It has a pretty nice little screen, is very responsive, it clips anywhere and is ultra portable. It has good sound quality, but I do reccomend upgrading the apple earbuds. I like the size, it's perfect for an active lifestyle, but I'm a smaller woman and don't have big hands, so I can see how it would be to small for some people. The battery life is average, like on most electronics today. I use it for a couple hours 3-4 times a week and have to charge it twice a week. It does charge very fast when connected to my computer to. The downside, you can't watch videos, take pictures, or play games, so If you want more than just a music player, you'll want to look elsewhere. Which I'm sure will be a deal breaker for some people after the features the 4th and 5th generation nanos had.

What's great about it: most everything
What's not so great: poor fitting ear pieces
the only issue I have are the ear buds... they didn't fit my ears correctly so i had to buy some. Apple really needs to come up with a more universal fitting ear piece.
No need for all the extra's unless you want them. The clip on the back works great and keeps nano in place even during a brisk workout.

What's great about it: the color
What's not so great: white screen of death, not meant for an active person, too small
Nanos are apparently not meant for running or pretty much any activity other than sitting in it's original packaging despite the Nike+ marketing. I got the "white screen of death" less than a month after purchase and independent of using the nano during physical activity. Once your Nano gets the "white screen of death" there is no way to recover it. Save your money or splurge on a real ipod. Very disappointing for an Apple product.

This was a gift for my b.f... he wanted one to hook up inside his truck that was compatible with his stereo. I surprised him with this and he loves it. He didnt need anything too bulky, and honestly i didnt want to spend a bunch of money on a guy that i know that is rough with everything and might end up breaking anyways lol. So far so good! He has a ton of songs on it, and hes no monger asking me to burn him a new cd!

What's great about it: small size for use with wristband
For a small iPod it has a nice big screen. Scrolling is easy between screens. FM radio is a nice feature. Got a watch wristband for it which is really great. It has different watch styles to match your mood. Can't loose or misplace it with it.

What's great about it: Its not too big and very easy to use!
What's not so great: When I find something "not so great" I'll post it here.
I wanted something that was not big and bulky like the iPod Touch, had the Nike+ options for my runs and walks, and I wanted something with a radio tuner. The Nano had everything I was looking for and the price was just right! This is the easiest portable player to use out there! The Nano is solid and rugged and the screen is easy to read. I would buy this again in a heartbeat!

What's great about it: The size, the clip, and the ease of use.
I was surprised at the quality. The case is metal, and it does have a clip. I was able to import my library to i-Tunes and sync my i-pod. I use it at work or at night to listen to music or sermon tapes, so it works really well for me.

What's great about it: Sounds good when it works
What's not so great: You have to touch it ever 15 secs. to continue using.
I bought the blue 8GB Nano yesterday. I spent about 3-4 hours learning and putting my music on the Nano. When a song is choosen to play, it plays fine for 20 seconds, then the screen goes black and the music shuts off. You have to consistently play with the screen or leave it plugged into the computer to keep the song playing. If it powers down, you have to hit the power button again and remove the song from pause to pick up where you left off. I'm carrying it back today. According to the little instruction booklet that came with it, when the screen powers down, the song is to continue playing. I always seem to find the lemon. Now I have to waist gas to drive back to the store.

I purchased the ipod Nano 6th generation as a Christmas present for my son in December 2011 and 2 months later the sleep button is stuck and will not turn on! I would recommend all buyers to pay the extra money for the extended warranty.

What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Expensive, doesn't read superior WMA files
We have several iPods in our household. So rather than try to get a less expensive mp3 player, I stuck with what we know. iTunes has a simple UI, like most apple products, and we can share the same library. Easy-Peasy, just like my girl says.

What's not so great: Freezing up
Purchased this item wih lots of enthusiasm and learned how to use it, especially downloading pictures. The Nano froze up. Went to Best Buy more than four times and each time there was a different solution. On my last visit I even took my Desk top for them to check and revise. The solution was to reset. Great idea but they if you create a folder and store the music, but they didn't do that so everything was lost. I had over 700 songs downloaded, hours of work down the drain. I was angered to say the least. I went home found my receipt, went back and returned the item to get my money back. It wasn't a Best Buy because somebody goofed.
