Very Happy, 29 Nov 2008
This review is from: Apple iPod nano 8GB - Green - 4th Generation (Electronics)
This nano has had some vast improvements from the first generation all those years back. The screen has enlarged, and is very good. The colours and clarity is exceptional for something this small. It is a lot thinner, less than 1cm, and has a nice curved shape. It has a new feature not before seen on the nano, let alone any ipod, and this is a shaking the ipod to change track. The genius software is very good and I find very useful and selects suitable matches for my music library. Also, new with this generation is the accelerometer built in. This allows you to turn the ipod on its side to watch video. The price is very good, but is still expensive for its capacity. However, this is made up for in superb free software that is very easy to use and master. Also, this is by far, the most accessory orrientated MP3/4 player. However saying this; some of the new generation ipods including this one don't work on old docking stations. You may want to be aware of this if you intend to use old accesories.

Stylish, Neat & Compact, 17 Mar 2009
This review is from: Apple iPod nano 8GB - Green - 4th Generation (Electronics)
Bought this for my son's birthday. Was surprised how thin and small it is, but is very stylish and a great colour. Does exactly what it says it does. Very simple to download music/videos using the Apple itunes store, you may pay a bit more here but I have had to query a download in the past and they responded within 24hrs and reimbursed me - so I would say you are paying for a good service from Apple within the price. I had previously been told the earphones weren't up to much, but I think they are adequate. Would recommend buying a cover (not a skin) to keep it in to give added protection to the screen and case. Great buy - have asked for one for my birthday!

Best music system ever, 29 Mar 2010
This review is from: Apple iPod nano 8GB - Green - 4th Generation (Electronics)
iPod is the best thing to happen to music ever, especally after living through walkmans (1 tape and chews it up) and discman (you couldn't walk with it wit skip and and scratch your CD).
It's got a very good size you can fit up to 1,200-1,400 songs/podcasts so more than enough for a very good music collection (at least your good stuff) and your favorite podcasts.
It's when you start putting photo's and films on there it starts getting really full, but that's not a problem with the ipod. You can fit a movie on ther and have enough room for at least a 1,000 songs/podcasts.
The picture is very good for your photo's and movies but don't expect it to be your next cinema but it's good for something to watch on a train/plane trip etc.
The battery is very good but can go fast(ish) if you keep the light going but it's not a problem (it can last for a quite a while), especally if you can recharge often (there gadgets to help you). As the previous reviewer said the colour is not to bright and is very good.
Final thought the iPod is the best music system (personal or otherwise, especally if it's got a docking bay) ever. You only need to go for a bigger size if you want something with a stupid amount of songs, podcasts, films, games etc.
The only choice left is which colour.
