What's great about it: Stores a ton of music and movies. What's not so great: iTunes software is a little frustrating to use sometimes.
"The actual iPod is easy to use. The iTunes software isn't always as cooperative as the iPod is. Mostly takes some trial and error to use the software. However, I would highly recommend the 16 GB iPod. I don't know why I waited this long to buy one!"

What's great about it: Great additions and more space
"The 4th generation Nano, Available in capacities of 8GB, and 16GB (priced at $149 & $199 respectively) these have a scratch-resistant aluminum body and are now slimmer than ever. The unit has new rounded, contour edges that make it feel thinner than it is and feel right in your hand. The new line-up comes in a whole array of colors to match the rainbow, and to match your personality as well.
The 4th Generation Nano has completely redesigned the Nano over the 3rd generation “Fat”, and it feels like it is different on the sides when you hold it comparatively to the older generations. Stepping back to the 1st and 2nd generation designs, it takes the good of the style of the 2nd gen, along with the advancements in the “Fat” 3rd generation versions, and creates a winning design. This design is a lot thinner than it was, yet retains the 2-inch screen, though it is millimeters thinner. The new screen saves the room for viewing your tracks and playing games, but the genius comes in the flipping of the screen.
The screen with this change, still has a 2-inch viewing area, which makes it very easy to use, browse and watch. When view movies, shows, podcasts with the new Nano, the Nano should be flipped to a “widescreen” view, in which the new accelerometer changes the landscape and viewing of this device. This new Nano still has a long battery life. Apple claims that it will last 36 hours, but I was able to get just over 32 hours of playtime – which is nice… real nice. The video experience was just over 6 hours – as advertised.
Another thing about the accelerometer. The accelerometer also enables 'shake to shuffle', where a flick of the wrist will choose a random song. This feels like it has been done right. It also allows easy use of the coverflow system, which runs much smoother this time around.
The new music search functions (Genius), the brighter screen,, sound quality, smoother ease and use of coverflow, and continued games support give the new iPod added flare. The addition of voice notes won't make a difference to most people, as you'll need to buy some extra headphones with a microphone built in – but it is nice to know that it is there if you do.
The addition of Genius, an automatic playlist generator, is going to be a massive hit with iPod fans. Genius will be massive, because it will - if it works as advertised - unlock the potential of your iPod library and help keep parties jumping or evenings chilled. It will also allow Apple to recommend tracks to you by your listening tastes as well.
As a fan small MP3 players, and of the past Nano line-ups, I love this design. I really do. I think the all aluminum casing is the way to go, and I am happy again that it is all around the unit. Should you replace your old 8GB Nano (3rd Generation) with the new one? If you really want accelerometer video abilities and Genius, I would say yes. Regardless if you upgrade, or decided to wait it out, I highly recommended this device to Apple lovers and new MP3 enthusiasts alike.
Pros: -Brighter, crisper viewing screen -Aluminum scratch-resistant casing all around the body -Amazing battery-life: 30+ hours plus (6+ with video)! -Search features, cover flow, album art, Genius -Accelerometer for video viewing and song shuffling -Genius song selection -Microphone capabilities -LOTS of new colors to choose from -Games via iTunes
Cons -Still no built in FM tuner -Limited space when it comes to video & games"

What's great about it: small,good color scheme,great features What's not so great: breakable
"I have had this ipod for a week and it is really good. It takes charges well and doesnt freeze up. I have a cover for it, so if it falls it won't break. I'm sure it will start to freeze later on because i have had that problem with all my past ipods."

What's great about it: color choices, shuffle feature, coverflow, screen moves around, small size What's not so great: the tall screen is a little weird to get used to, and it's hard to choose a color!
"I was so excited when the Apple released the new iPod Nanos. I've been wanting to get an iPod for a while now, but kept putting it off because I wanted a Classic but didn't have quite enough money. However, the new Nanos have 16gb of storage (4,000 songs!) and they are less expensive than the Classics. They are also, of course, smaller, and they now come in AMAZING colors! I wanted purple immediately, of course, but when I saw the vibrant shades of blue, yellow, orange, etc. my preference wavered for a bit. However, I still love the purple the most. And they have all of these amazing features: accelerometer, genius, coverflow, etc. The screen is a little weird in that it's so tall, but I like it better than the wide screens of the 3G Nanos. More like the cute 2G ones that I really liked. And it's so bright and shiny. ;) They don't have that shiny back, either, which is nice. More like the iPod minis, I think. And less likely to get fingerprints and scratches. Hopefully, the screen won't get all scratched up, but that's what cases and covers are for! Overall, this is the best iPod that I've seen so far, so I'm glad that I waited to make my purchase! Hopefully, as this is a new product, there won't be too many bugs. That's my only concern about getting one so quickly after they come out!"
