The iPod nano has been my personal favorite model of iPod since it debuted. It's just the right size for me (especially now at a standard of 8GB with a 16GB option), and it feels great in the hand. It has always had the full functionality of a classic iPod but in much more portable form.

Last generation's iPod nano went a little hog-wild with the features, adding a (pointless and annoying) camera, FM radio, and a built-in speaker like the iPod Touch, as well as allowing for Genius mixes. It took a hit to the battery life due to some of these features, which was unfortunate, but overall it was a sexy improvement to the mostly-perfect 4th Gen design. The slightly larger screen allowed for better display of song information and looked great, and the click wheel was better than ever.

It seems this year the baby was thrown out with the bathwater, or something. I'm not really sure who this iPod was designed for. It's got a touch screen and no navigation buttons or click wheel, giving it all the serious downsides of an iPhone or iPod touch, but without app support. I'm not saying it should have apps, though, because that's not what I get an iPod for. When I want a dedicated audio player, I want it to do that perfectly, and this player fails miserably.

My problems with having only a touch screen are numerous: switching songs without having to look at the player is a near impossibility (i.e. when exercising, driving, it's in your pocket, you need to pause quickly, etc.), it's not as tactile as the wheel, screens get cruddy with time and it messes with function, they're slower to navigate than buttons in many cases, and your fingers obscure the screen. This touch screen fad needs to end!

But to top it off, the thing has less functionality than the previous three generations. The 3rd Generation iPod nano added video playback, allowing movies, TV shows, and music videos to be viewable. Having an FM radio receiver is pretty awesome, too, but unfortunately it was cut too. In fact, the lack of features on this iPod are downright embarrassing.

In short, I truly hope Apple has learned its lesson and produces a normal, traditional nano for this coming year. I would really like to upgrade to a new one, but not if this garbage continues. If they focus on improving what matters (sound quality, speed of interface, battery life, necessary features, and so on) they could make the perfect iPod.

I ordered the nano because I really wanted to have the radio feature included. The radio didn't work on the first one I ordered. I followed all the trouble shooting tips I could find...no success. I sent that one back and ordered another. Once again, the radio didn't work and this time the prodcut shut down every two minutes. I checked the power level on the battery and it was just fine. I read on a blog that both of these issues seem to be common problems with the nano. I don't think it was just bad luck but maybe.... I would NOT recommend this product.

I purchased this iPod after I had an unfortunate accident with my 3rd generation one. I feel that the older one was much better though. I don't like the touch screen as it is very sensitive and moves to the next screen when I'm trying to search through my music. Also the battery life is very poor. I went for about a hour drive and the battery was dead before I made it back home. The battery was fully charged when I left. I never had this problem with the older one where I could go about a week without recharging it.

It was very difficult for me to get used to the touch, and I still have problems starting and stopping music. On Sunday, shuffle suddenly turned on, which was very irritating since I was listening to a mystery. Help tells you how to turn on shuffle , but not how to turn it off. Nothing I tried worked, so I finally had to reset thoe whole thing and I lost all my other changes.

(by David's iPod loving wife) About four years ago my old iPod nano's battery died and rather than replace it I decided to use my phone to keep the music in my life. I thought it was a great way to save money. What I found was that I just stopped listening to my music when I was out and about because it was more of a hassle. I missed having my music. I figured the money would be well spent to get the music back in my life! I'm glad I did!
