In some ways, Apple’s recent launch of its updated iPod range was a little disappointing, with only minor changes made to the iPod Classic and iPod Touch (albeit sweetened by welcome price cuts). However, the iPod Nano was, yet again, completely redesi...

Heres a hard truth: Even if Apple decided to carve its new Nano out of petrified poo and bless it with a Braille display, the interface alone would still make Cupertinos latest flash-based music player leagues better than the competition. So whats o...

Enough colors to make you second guess dropping that third hit of acid before hitting the Apple store. Up to 16 gigs of storage. On the fly Genius (should be called Lazy) Playlists let you quickly suit your music mood. Energy saver mode is clutch. 8 gigs...
Why no love for the squarePod? Shaketoshuffle is a nightmare during parkour outings; switching off the muchneeded French Hip Hop in favor of our knitting podcasts whenever jostled. Tapered design is just curvy enough to be fey, but not quite severe enough...

Farewell fatty. Yup, Nano 3G – AKA the iPod Classic Mini-Me – is no more. This fourth incarnation is slimmer and taller than its forebear. Indeed, with the demise of the mildly chunky 160GB Classic, heavy-boned Apple staff must surely be shift...

The new 4G iPod nano leaves behind the shorter, wider shape of the third-generation (3G) model to embrace the taller, slimmer profile of the nanos of old - even slimmer, in fact, than those older models.When it comes to physical appearances, the fourt...

Overall, the new 4G iPod nano looks like a solid upgrade in most areas, despite slightly-shorter video-watching battery life (and, to some of us, a step backwards in shape). Perhaps most important - from Apple's perspective, at least - the new design...

Overall, it’s a great portable iPod but except for the Genius playlist I can’t see anything compelling in the upgrade. I’m fine for the fat and 2G Nano for running and there is nothing that encourages me to pick this up for video.

Apples fourth generation (4G) iPod nano melds the best of nanos old and new: specifically the older, more popular tall-and-slim design with the newer, larger screen from the third-generation player. At $149 for 8GB, and $199 for 16GB, the nano is im...

Sexy, thin, rounded design. Same excellent user interface as in previous nanos. Built-in accelerometer shifts screen for horizontal viewing (like on the iPhone and iPod touch) and lets you shuffle songs by shaking the player. Genius feature creates on-the...
No built-in mic—you need to upgrade earbuds to use the integrated voice recorder. Apple still hasnt upgraded those lame bundled earbuds.
Apples slimmed-down, slicker-than-ever iPod nano responds to your movements, creates playlists it thinks youll like, and makes the competition look like a bunch of clunkers...

The fourth-generation iPod Nano is more attractive and colorful than its predecessor and includes Apples new Genius playlist tool, a tilt sensor, and accessibility features for the visually impaired.

The fourth-generation iPod Nano is more attractive and colorful than its predecessor and includes Apples new Genius playlist tool, a tilt sensor, and accessibility features for the visually impaired.
To use the new Nano, you must upgrade to Apples iTunes 8 software with its laundry list of hardware requirements; the rounded screen invites glare; sound quality is only average.
The fourth-generation iPod Nano is easy on the eyes and the wallet, and you cant beat its hardware and user interface design. Just be sure to give iTunes 8 a spin before committing.

The newest iPod Nano is incontrovertibly a step up from last year's model, crammed with new features including a video camera. But can the Nano stay the same cool little player while simultaneously invading the Flip-cam market? This new Nano—the...
