 I'm Loving It September 15, 2007
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
My 4th generation 20 GB took a dive the day before this was released. I love the new Nano. The size is well, very small.
The display is great, photos look good, haven't tried video yet.
Menu is almost exactly like my old ipod they just added video, and photos.
The cover flow feature? WHO CARES! Its a music player.
I'd say the only downer is if you have an older Mac you'll have to updrade to OS X 10.4.8, I had to buy the newer OS and 10.4.8 is not much diffrent from what I had (10.3.9). It's wierd there must be some integration of the newer OS into the new version of iTunes.
Really Nice. Very space age like, incredible video September 14, 2007

I've had all 3 nano versions from the 1st to the 3rd (current) generation. This new nano is incredible. I mean 8 gigabytes for only $199 with high resolution video and new user interface. It's very bright, thin and weighs only 1.76 ounces. The screen is 2" which is small for viewing long periods of video but for short stretches like 30 minutes its great. Battery life is awesome too. Only small downside is that it doesn't fit into the small little blue jean pockets any more since its wider but who cares? Definately worth it.
 Buyer beware: output to TV is now disabled... otherwise great iPod! September 14, 2007

I've owned two models of the 5.5G video iPods (the 30 and the 60GB models) and have been very pleased with them. I'm a teacher, and I use them for playing videos in class--so much better than DVDs! I was tickled pink when I heard that the new solid-state flash-based nano would include video; I bought it the first week because the school year was starting.
Well, I bought too soon. It seems that without disclosing the change to customers, Apple has locked the "TV Out" feature, preventing users from outputting iPod content to their TV sets. When you go to the Videos > Settings menu and bring up the "TV Out" option, toggling it on/off is now unresponsive, showing only the word "off." When locked, video content will display on the iPod's screen, but not on your TV or portable display accessory.
According to the guys on the tech support line, the only way to turn this feature on is if you connect your iPod to a device with an "Apple authentication chip" built in, or buy the soon-to-be-available Apple video cables that will work with the new iPods and will sell for a shocking $49, plus shipping and tax.
Quite a blow to this long-time hardcore Apple fan and defender. It strikes me as underhanded. Perhaps if they had made it clear in the pitch that a $50 cable would be required to play to TV, I would have still made the same choice, but as it is, I feel, you know, tricked.
That issue aside, the nano is as cute as a button, and the little screen looks great. I will refresh this review in a few weeks when I have had a chance to put it through the paces.
My First iPod! September 14, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is my first iPod ever. Before this, I owned the Archos Jukebox 2000 which holds 20GB. This 8gb Nano blows that other heavy hunk of junk away. The nano is quiet, small, thin, lightweight, plays everything seamlessly, and is a breeze to use. If you're buying your first MP3 player ever, I definitely recommend the Nano. It is really worth every bit of the 199 I paid for it. The screen is beautiful. It's very bright and crisp. Cover flow is awesome, although I don't use the cover flow as much as I use the "artist" listings.
Compared to the 2G nano, the new 3G nano has it beaten hands down. 3.5mm thin! I mean, if you carry it in your pocket, you can hardly tell it's in there.
I really bought the new Nano to occupy me until the Touch comes out and it's doing just that. I'm plenty occupied and satisfied!
BUY THIS IF YOU WANT A GREAT IPOD WITH GREAT FEATURES FOR THE MONEY!
Apple still impresses me. September 13, 2007
12 out of 14 found this review helpful
I've owned a 2nd generation iPod Nano for about a little over a year now, bought it back when the 1-gigs cost about the same as this new 4-gig with video. I loved the little thing; it was highly portable, flash-drive based, and sounded rather well given its and its headphone's size. The only aspect that disappointed me was its battery life, as many other past-gen iPod users might know of.
The new iPod Nanos with video still has the same characteristics as their predecessors, if not better. It's still flash-drive based and it's still highly portable. The sound it produces is just as good, if not, better. We are promised a 24-hour battery life, and though I haven't owned it long enough to test this implication, it seems to be doing great so far (the previous Nano I had was supposed to last 8 hours, but I got about 5 to 6 even when it was new).
It's a nice upgrade considering the one I had didn't have video (obviously), could only hold 1gig, had a battery life of only 8 hours, and not quite as small. So why only 4 stars?? Included with the iPod in the package is only a USB plug, a dock clip, and earbud headphones. Where's the pouch to protect it a little?? But no matter, it just takes a little creativity.
