    The iPod has always been about design. The simple understated lines of the nano give it an elegance lacking from many competitors. Apple have focused on making the iPod desirable and it has worked, after all, it has achieved iconic status in the face of many copycats at much lower prices. The iPod nano has for many years been the pocketable ‘Pod to beat and whilst Apple keep innovating that puts the pressure on rivals. However, this player comes in at over £100 for an... Read more

    The 4G represents another great step forward for the iPod Nano. Apple have managed to couple several useful new features with a stylish new look that recalls classic iPod design as well as improving battery life. Read more

    The fourth-generation iPod nano is easy on the eyes and the wallet, and you can't beat its hardware and user interface design. Look out for innovative accessibility features and the Genius playlist tool, but just be sure to give iTunes 8 a spin before committing Read more

    Like the iPod touch refresh announced today, the new model is an update rather than a completely new product line. The bigger screen, the Genius mode and the thinner design will appeal to newcomers looking for a smarter looking MP3 player over Apple's current nano offering. We are surprised that Apple opted not to include Wi-Fi to allow iTunes Store support on the move. The new colours (nine in total) are also likely to appeal to the gifters out there in time for...

    The iPod Chromatic (or nano 4th generation) is better than any previous version. With a larger screen, twice as much memory, accelerometer, new genius playlist creator, and colors that are POP'N hot, this iPods a keeper. My first iPod was the iPod nano 1st generation white. I loved it. Second I had a second generation nano in the color red. <WOW> the color was awesome with the same great features. Until 2008 I had the second generation. I had no idea what I was missing.... Read more

    I bought the ipod nano originally as a gift for my mum. She has a sony walkman mp3 player that she's used for years! When she told me the nano was too fancy for her, I started using it. Its never too far away from me as I use it for exercising, commuting and getting through boring days at work. Of course, I have to charge and update the contents of it using iTunes. But I don't mind using iTunes. That works for me too. I find the headphones don't always stay in my ear. So... Read more

  5. Great functionality in a tiny package.

    I got this little Ipod Nano 16GB for a birthday present because I wanted something tiny to use while exercising.  I already have a Ipod Touch 32GB that I use for audiobooks and photos.  This is so tiny, it makes the Ipod Touch seem big and heavy, which it is not. It's a little hard to get used to the controls because the control is so sensitive.  I've even managed to take a video of the inside of my purse. I like the video option even though it's low resolution.  I... Read more
