The editors didn't like
Drag-n-drop of media not possible
Screen a bit too small for videos

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
Abstract: The new iPod nano has added some compelling features, writes reviewer Chris Maxcer. The aluminum frame is incredibly thin but also has a nice solid feel, and the screen plays back video with great clarity. The accelerometer -- a feature familiar to use...
Abstract: Apple has a knack for manufacturing hype and consumer interest for their iPod lines. With multiple iterations debuting annually, it has become increasingly hard to determine just how much necessity there really is for the latest and arguably greatest i...
Accelerometer enhances interface and games, Extremely thin design and lots of color choices, Very good AV quality, Useful new features like Genius, adjustable font size, and spoken menus
No wireless features, No custom EQ, Mediocre battery life, *
Overall, were pretty satisfied with the new nano, even though its nowhere near as sexy as the newly revamped iPod touch. And on a small, dedicated audio player thats focused on slim design and pocketability, we dont feel too slighted that the nano ...
Triumphant return to the stick design, hooray!, Support for new headphones with clicker and/or iPhone headphones, New features make it the best click-wheel iPod yet (shake to shuffle, Genius playlists, accelerometer)
Apple is hitting a dead end with UI innovation for these things, Many games made for click-wheel iPods dont make use of the accelerometer, and therefore suck (but some do!)
As an Apple-made portable media device, the 4G iPod nano is quite solid—surprisingly so, given the fact that half the world has already moved on to the iPhone and iPod touch. But the new nano gives potential buyers—including many of our own re...
Abstract: Now you might us may not have thought we needed a new iPod Nano, after all what was wrong with the old one? But like everything in gadgets the latest upgrade is around the corner and here the new 4th generation Nano from Apple jumps from 4 and 8gb to 8...
Most capacious nano yet; more features than the iPod classic; Genius feature works directly on iPod; better-than-estimated battery life; Spoken Menus and larger menu fonts improve accessibility; improved interface with optional preview panel; audio-crossf...
iderably under-hyped is the 4G nano’s new Spoken Menus feature, which actually “reads aloud” as you browse the iPod’s menus, offering nearly-complete navigation even if you can’t see the iPod’s screen. Designed to incre...
Aesthetic changes aside, the fourth-generation iPod nano isn’t the dramatic overhaul last year’s nano was. If you’ve already got a 3G nano, the 4G model’s new features may not be compelling enough to get you to upgrade—especi...

Abstract: For its third anniversary, the highly portable 4G iPod nano gets a new tall and slim design, Genius Playlists, audio recording and other new software features, twice the storage at the same price, and a new array of colors. It continues to offer high...
Abstract: The nano line is new and improved with some great feature additions and a whole rainbow of available hues, and the new Touch is curvier and more functional than the last. Genius playlists are everywhere, and they just may make you happy when you want to listen to a good selection without putting too much work into it.
This text will be replaced We wont miss the older, square, postage stamp-shaped iPod nano 3G; we definitely welcome the return to Nano form in the new Apple iPod nano 4G. This iPod nano is sharp, almost in a literal way, the edges are so tapered an...
