The FM radio and camera are still in their baby steps
Scroll wheel not up to the mark.
No 32 GB size like I expected
Pedometer is a bit faulty
Good unit
But really not that different when compared to last years
Shiny new finish becomes smudged more easily
No still photo capture with the video camera
The Apple iPod Nano has a battery life of 24 hours.
Uncomfortable bundled earbuds
Lackluster video recording in low light
Not the best audio quality
Nano doesn’t support iTunes Extras or iTunes LP photos/interviews
Video camera doesnt work well in low light
And its easy to get your fingers in the way of the lens. Shiny
Curved screen picks up some glare. Builtin speaker sounds tinny. Radio requires headphones. Included headphones dont support VoiceOver features. AC...
So-so file support. Video camera cant capture still images. Ships with Apples signature subpar earbuds.
Camera lens smudges easily
Camera position awkward
No still pictures
Weak speaker
Prone to camera shake
Video camera's lens placed in a stupid location. Can't take still images. Lacks autofocus. Has no optical zoom (but neither does the Flip). External speaker has squeaky audio playback
The Nanos camera cant shoot photos or HD-quality video and Apple located its lens in the most awkward location imaginable. Storage capacities remain stuck at 8GB and 16GB.
Recorded video isnt high-definition
Video colors look slightly washed out when video is enlarged
An easytouse VGA quality camcorder... in an iPod!, FM radio (finally!), with Live Pause and iTunes Tagging, Bigger screen, builtin speaker
Shiny new finish becomes smudged more easily, No still photo capture with the video camera
As amazing as all the new features (joining the old, and I'm not aware of any that have been lost along the way) is the simple fact that they manage to fit together inside the same physical space as last year, even with the addition of necessary hardw...

Ultimately, the iPod Nano is a charming little piece of equipment. It continues the iPod legacy while adding some key new features to it’s arsenal. It does everything it says it will do in a well executed manner. Video quality lef...

Sleek and compact design; great value for money; nice sound quality.
The FM radio and camera are still in their baby steps; scroll wheel not up to the mark.
With the new add- ons, apple seem to be trying too hard. There is no grace and etiquette, something all ipods are famed for. The add-ons just made a beautiful ipod look a tad shabby. Why would they put these features on it, if they all did lack in per...

Uncomfortable bundled earbuds, Lackluster video recording in low light, Not the best audio quality, nano doesn’t support iTunes Extras or iTunes LP photos/interviews
The fifth iteration of Apple’s tiny portable media player keeps the same featherweight body as its predecessor but adds a bigger screen and video recording.
Overall, the new Nano is bound to give stand-alone pocket camcorders a run for the money. Sure, it doesn't shoot HD video, and it might not have the same video quality or extra features that dedicated pocket camcorders have, but I don't think that wil...
