- Best iPod Ever, But Beware The Bugs
The new iPod Nano is definitely the best iPod ever. It offers all the features (and more) of the 5th generation iPod Video, only miniaturised down into an impossibly small size. This thing really is TINY. Width and height-wise, it's dimensions are smaller than a credit card, so you literally can put it inside your wallet! And it's just 6.5mm thick! Holding it reminds me of a Jacob's Cracker, only one that is made of black metal and plays Movies.
One of the biggest improvements of the iPod Nano over the 5th generation iPod Video is its improved graphic user interface and its speed of use. This thing is super responsive, due to the fact that it uses Flash Memory. No slight delays, it whizzes from Cover Flow to playing Movies to playing Games to performing instant Searches on your entire music collection. A joy to use.
Being able to watch full-length Movies on a device of this size is a very NEW thing. Here's a tip. If you convert your DVDs yourself to match the dimensions of the Nano's screen (320x240) and use a low data rate of 300kbps, you can get a 2 hour movie down to just 360MB. So, if you had nothing but Movies on your Nano, you'd have room for 22 of them! If you're a Mac user, the best software for converting DVDs is HandBrake 0.9.0, which is completely free and retains the DVD's chapter markers.
However, it's not all good. The iPod Nano is currently riddled with some pretty annoying bugs, such as Cover Flow covers not appearing and letterbox bars being white. These can and hopefully will be fixed via a simple Software Update. But my advice is, never buy a brand new Apple product immediately. There's nothing cool about paying to beta test a product. Always wait 2-4 weeks to avoid encountering the most major bugs.
Rating: - Just got mine and best ipod ever
I just got my iPod nano this morning and it is by far the bast ipod yeat. The screen is very clear and surprisingly for its size its good for video. The nano itself is very small and thin(looks much better in real then the pics).
I would recommend anyone to buy one of these. Zune, creative and all the other mp3 player manufacturers.
Rating: - WOW!
I just got my new ipod nano today and all I can say is wow. This new version is ten times better than the old one. The colour screen is fantastic as is the video. This should be at the top of everyone's list this christmas.
Rating: - counterbalance
Mr. Pickles below is a plant - he's just systematically trashing every ipod and praising every creative zen. An unusual consumer, that would be, buying every different color and flavour from each manufacturer. Pathetic.
Anyhow, this is just redressing the balance.

- Looks nice but........
I was amazed at the size and look of this new nano (my last one's battery died) but am very frustrated because it doesn't work with my current version of i-tunes and downloading the latest version isn't working (in fact I can't access i-tunes at all now, GRRRR). So don't expect to plug and play:(
