The editors didn't like
Relatively small storage capacity
Included earphones are plain
Mandatory use of iTunes
Display too small for extended viewing
Click Wheel partially obscured when used with some docks
No FM radio
Cover Flow loses some of its appeal without a touchscreen. Crappy earbuds.
Were not crazy about the wider body
The smaller scroll wheel
The lack of video output
And the average-sounding audio quality.
Could have used more internal storage capacity given the new emphasis on video
Screen and flash memory sizes aren’t ideal for video. Prior iPod Games
And iPod video accessories
Are generally not compatible with this model. Mirror-finished rear casing returns
Ready to scratch and smudge.
Included headphones are "ok" at best
Headphone jack on bottom of player
Adds video playback, Cover Flow searching, superb battery life.
Chunky design, bottom-mounted headphone socket, no supplied video conversion software.
The previous Nano generations were nice players, but it was hard to make the case for buying them when the hard disk-based iPods (now sold as the iPod Classic) were a similar price for much more storage. Adding video and the very enticing carrot of vas...
Abstract: Youve got to give Apple credit. They usually dont get there first, but they do a hell of a job once they do. Other companies have been releasing iPod nano-sized and nano-priced MP3 players that also play video for about 18 months, a feature that was ...
Amazing screen resolution, Small and light, New menus and Cover Flow
Screen is small, Stubby design, 8GB maximum memory
Stubby. That was the first word that popped into our heads when we clapped eyes on the new iPod nano. Three seconds later, though, with the device lying seductively in our hands, we turned from sceptic to believer. Its nearly impossible not to be full...

All the features of the iPod classic – including video playback, video output, and games – in a smaller, less-expensive, and flash-memory-based player; Bright, clear screen; very good sound quality, excellent battery life, improved user interf...
Incompatible with some existing dock-connector accessories, shiny back surface not as rugged as anodised metal of previous version, can’t use previously-purchased games, Cover Flow performance limited, new visuals-heavy interface slowed by album art...
The iPod touch complicates the ‘Which iPod should I buy?’ question. But when it comes to traditional iPods, the decision has never been easier. For those without huge iTunes libraries – or people who don’t mind managing which part...
Abstract: Worthy successors to the iPod name. Sleek looks and intuitive menus at a fair price. The legendary white iPod is no more. In its place is a slimmer brushed aluminium model, in silver or black, known as the iPod classic. Unlike Coke Classic, its even...
Abstract: Both players have their strong points, but the best feature remains the simple interface and excellent design. The iPod touch might be the one grabbing headlines, but Apple has given the entire iPod range a thorough shake-up. Theres no longer any suc...
Abstract: After an Apple mole leaked a picture of the somewhat chubby new iPod nano on the intertubes before the computer companys illustrious leader could make its birth announcement, some were in two minds about the upcoming device. After all, it represented ...
Abstract: The latest version of the iPod Nano looks very different to its predecessor. The long, lean shape has been replaced by a shorter, wider design that houses a 2in screen with a 320x240 resolution for video playback. The looks may take some getting use...
