Amazon.com Product Description--Posted September 9, 2008: With eight amazing colors, a new curved design, and great new features, iPod nano rocks like never before. The Genius Playlist feature finds the songs in your music library that go great together and makes a playlist for you. With its built-in accelerometer, iPod nano is made to move. Give it a shake, and it shuffles to a different song in your library. Turn it on its side to flip through your album art in Cover Flow. And tilt, move, and play accelerometer-inspired games (games available separately). Watching movies, TV shows, and video is even more fun on the sharp 2-inch screen. And your photos (up to 14,000 of them) look great in portrait or landscape view. Available in 8 GB and 16 GB models, the 16 GB iPod nano puts up to 4,000 songs or 16 hours of video in your pocket.

A Musical Genius
Say you're listening to a song you really like and want to hear other tracks that go great with it. The Genius Playlist feature finds the songs in your music library that go great together and makes a Genius Playlist for you. It's like having your own highly intelligent, personal DJ.

Find Your Music Faster
It's even easier to find the song you want to hear. Now you can view your album art in Cover Flow. Or just press and hold the Center button to browse by album or artist. When you find the right song, press the Center button to add it to your on-the-go playlist.

Rock and Roll Over
Tilt or turn iPod nano on its side, and you'll listen, watch, and play in new ways. You can flip through your album art with Cover Flow. Or, vertically speaking, see more albums and artists on the screen at one time.

Shake Your Groove Thing
Sometimes, we could all use a little unpredictability. And now you can shake to change your music. Just give iPod nano a shake, and it shuffles to a different song in your music library. You'll always be surprised by what you'll hear.

Let the Games Begin
Now you can get in on games made especially for iPod nano and the accelerometer. They respond to the way you move, so they're immersive, addictive, and a blast. The iPod nano comes with Maze, which lets you work your way through vast mazes by tilting and moving. You can find even more games on the iTunes Store.

Even Your Photos Rock
Pull hundreds of photos from your pocket and share them wherever you go. Hold iPod nano upright and see your photos in portrait view. Turn the player on its side to see them in landscape. Your photos look beautiful in their proper aspect ratio on the vibrant, 320-by-240-resolution display.

The World's Biggest Small Screen
Watching movies, TV shows, and videos is big fun on iPod nano. And the high-resolution picture looks crisp and vivid on the 2-inch widescreen display. So you can always have a little video with you.

Great MP3 Player

by Guanxiong Mao 2008-10-06, 12 people found this review helpful

I'm really impressed by the build quality of the nano. Before this, I used a 2nd gen dell jukebox which had a 20GB capaciy(which was also all aluminum) and I really liked that device because the all aluminum design made it rock solid (though not water proof unfortunately). The only reason I'm getting the nano is because the dell's battery was dying but the device looks just like new except for the few small chips where I kind of dropped it on the sidewalk while jogging.

This feels just as solid as my old Dell, except this weighs under 1/4 as much. The color of these nanos really are amazing. I wasn't sure whether the photos were digitally enhanced (ie passed through photoshop to increase saturation) because they seemed so fantastic. I went for a conservative black, and I'm almost kind of regretting this because now I know the other colors really are as gorgeous as they look in the ad photos. Basically, these shiny smooth aluminum babies make the dell dj look like coarse rubbish (maybe it's just good paint?)

I'm new to the ipod interface. This is my first ipod and at least compared to my old Dell, this is way better. The coverflow really isn't that useful except as a distraction for when you ride public transportation. The color screen though really is gorgeous and extremely detailed; makes the text so much more readable. The scroll wheel did feel a little sluggist to me as well; basically a tad insensitive to the touch so the scrolling lags at times. This however should be easily fixable with a firmware update.

To address the cover flow complains: let me clarify one thing: the ipod doesn't engage cover flow as easily as some people claims. If you set it down flat on a table, it will not go into cover flow mode; only if you turn it sideways but with the screen still facing forward (or maybe backward) will it go into coverflow. In other words, Apple DIDN'T design the nano to jump to coverflow for all directions but vertical. Seriously though, you don't need to change volume all that often. I don't really build play lists with Limp Bizkit and Mozart right after one another so usually I only adjust the volume like once or twice an hour and even then, it's usually to turn the volume down to save battery (my old Dell had a way shorter battery life). If you're fidgeting with the volume so much that the trouble of taking the thing out and turning it upright is a huge annoyance, then I think you need to get the first gen ipod touch 16 gb for 40 dollars more than the nano because you obviously need more distraction than a device designed to play music.

In Summary: terrifically solid build quality, spectacular color and outward design; good software interface with few minor problems; basically a surprisingly good device for a reasonable price (frankly, given that this is an Apple product and the overall quality of the device, I would have expected it to sell 250-300). Ultra light, ultra attractive mp3 player for an affordable price.

Best player ever!

The new 4th generation from Apple is awesome - once I turned it on and heard the first song it was like coming into another world. So clear and good sound that you forget you even have your headphones on.

This new generation has an accelerometer as well as the iPod Touch and iPhone which means you can rotate the iPod 90 degrees to get coverflow view on your albums. Also let's say you find a random song that is in the middle of an album you have you can easily turn on to coverflow, push the center button and browse through every song on that album.

Some says that the coverflow gets in the way for easy volume changes, and that is in one way correct, but the reason why I'm still at five stars is because it's not worth making a big deal out of it. If you have it vertically in your pocket it's no problem. Volume adjustments works immediately. If the player somehow is horizontally, it's just to reposition it, wait for 1-2 second and you can adjust volume. I won't call this a problem.

Shake to shuffle is also a really cool thing they have built in, and it works great. Note that if you are on a running trip and may be running in a steep downhill that may turn the shake-to-shuffle on unwanted you can of course turn it of in the setting menu.

Video playback is better that expected on such a small screen, and you don't need large resolution to get stunning pictures on it. Choose if the image should fit the screen or not, what TV standard (PAL or NTSC) along with other settings. TV shows are automatically presented horizontally. Be sure to have the correct encoding on the movies of TV shows if the battery should hold 4 hours. On a Mac which I use you can encode the movies by export them from Quick Time Pro. There is a preset called Movie to iPod. Then it's just to open the video in iTunes and sync the iPod. Video playlists are also automatically created.

Hope this helps who ever read it!

Beautiful

First of all, I've been reading a lot of negative reviews because of the 4th generation's new feature called Cover Flow. Everyone who was upset with it can now calm down, Apple just came out with a new patch version 1.0.3 which allows you to turn on/off the Cover Flow feature, problem solved!! I love my 4th generation iPod now. I upgraded from a first generation nano and I must say I am really impressed with how this one looks, it's beautiful
