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
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...
Apple’s highest-capacity mid-range flash player to date, with an outstanding array of nine color options that for the first time are available at a $149 base price rather than as a premium option. Preserves most of the features of last year’s...
Battery life for video and game playing has dropped from prior version, though audio playback time is roughly the same. New tapered shape feels like a dull knife in the hand, versus the softer curves of prior iPods and nanos, and requires rotation for

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,...
Very slim and lightweight, Supports voice recording
No FM tuner, Must be turned sideways for video viewing

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. Specifications: Device type: Digital player; Flash memory installed: ...

Abstract: 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.
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....

Abstract: Reviewed by Jacob Spindel, September 2008 Previously, on “All My Nanos…” Last time, we met the third-generation iPod nano, whose video playback capability and small size instantly made it one of the most popular citizens in all of Podville. But then c...
