It's a great iPod that comfortably holds 1000 songs in you pocket. It can aloso view photos and watch movies with its 2-inch QVGA TFT color display. You can watch photo slideshows and read song lyrics while the music plays. It can sort contacts and view calenders as well as timing things using the built-in stopwatch. Of course, you can view clocks in Tokyo, Calfornia and Adelaide and more....
GAMES have got better too. New games like Vortex, iPod Quiz and Klondike ship free with the iPod. Of course, you can buy games for iPods like Spore Origins and Phase.
Unfortunately for me, my Nano was damaged by someone and the screen cracked. So I'm going to get a Nintendo DSi for Christmas 2008.
Anyway, my opinions on this Nano? Well, this is pretty easy to control, and I hardly ever select the wrong item on the menu, so it's easy to control. Plus it's fast as well!!
Cover Flow's excellent! I use it whenever I want to listen to something. If I can't find it, I search it using the built-in song searcher. Very portable and easy to carry, PLUS the screen is massive, so with this, you can share your videos with someone else without the need to squint at it. Games are extremely addicting (especially Vortex) and iTunes is very easy to use.
Downsides? Hmm... well 4GB is pretty small for a device that holds movies, and the other thing is that the 1 year warranty does not cover accidental damage!!
That's about it really.
Hope this helped. If you can get this iPod, BUY IT it's so cool!
Or buy the NEW Nano. (Whichever you prefere)
