The editors didn't like
Drag-n-drop of media not possible
Screen a bit too small for videos
Basic features like FM radio and voice recorder still missing.
So-so file support. Video camera can’t capture still images. Ships with Apple’s signature subpar earbuds.
Upgrade to Apples iTunes 8 software with its laundry list of hardware requirements a must
Feels amazing in the hand, with onethumb clickwheel control, Unique new convenience (and coolness) features
Battery life slightly shorter for video than previous generation, Some might squint at video on the twoinch screen
Were in the fourth generation now so its easy to lose sight of the understated marvel here. Although a different experience from the second-gen iPod touch, launched concurrently, the 4th generation iPod nano is a serious entertainer in its own right...
Abstract: The 4th-generation iPod nano returns the nano to its roots – it’s once again a tall, narrow iPod. The 3rd-generation model was a radical departure for the nano line, with its squat size and square screen, but the 4th-generation model is tall, with a re...
Accelerometer is useful and fun, Easy to use, Well made, Lightweight and very portable, Lots of content for it on the iTunes store, Videos and pictures look sharp
Earbuds don’t offer the best sound quality and they aren’t very comfortable, Not exactly compatible with older accessories, Interface is touchy/over sensitive, Glass screen cover possible to break easily
The 4th Generation iPod Nano offers a few more features over the last generation that I think people will appreciate. The interface is great, the screen is bright and vivid and works well for pictures, videos and everything else it does. The built in ...

Expensive
Autumn is my favorite time of year for a couple different reasons. I love the cooler weather, the changing colors of the leaves and ... new Apple iPods! For the last 4 years around this time, weve been introduced to a new iPod nano and this year is n...
There's no doubt that the fourth generation iPod nano is the best so far. The design is beautiful, even by Apple's high standards, and the user interface is as intuitive as it always was. Crossfade is superb, and makes listening on shuffle even more enjoy...
Abstract: So where else could Apple take the Nano? I think it’s obvious that the iPod Classic with its big hard drive is eventually going to go the way of the dinosaur. Maybe Apple could expand the screen to 2.5-inches along with maybe 32 to 64GBs of flash storage?.
Slim and curvy design, Very good sound, Accelerometer enhances many features, Sharp and bright screen
Average battery life, No wireless feature
While the $149 iPod nano 4G doesn’t incorporate wireless features like the similarly priced, flash-based Zune, it has a more compelling design. We like the accelerometer and the Genius feature; iTunes is an easier service to use in regard to pricing...
So, should you get the 4G iPod nano? Probably. If you have an older 1G or 2G nano, you should upgrade, if only for the improved screen, increased storage capacity and better battery life. Some 3G nano owners may not want to upgrade, particularly i...
