The latest nano is another success for Apple. The design is absolutely lovely, the screen is excellent and the Cover Flow interface is an effective addition in terms of ease of use. Audiophiles will probably pass it by, as will feature fiends, but for the majority it's a good player at a great price. quote

Apple may call the iPod touch the “best iPod yet,” but for many people, that award just may go to this Saltine-cracker-sized player.

The shape may have changed, but Apple's relentless attention to detail remains. The third generation of the iPod Nano provides loads of entertainment for a down-to-earth price.

The new iPod nano fits into practically any pocket. It sports the pretty cover flow feature which debuted in iTunes 7. Its casing is extremely scratch-resistant. It holds up to 2,000 MP3 songs, it looks fantastic... and all for less than £120.

This re-invention of the iPod nano is, generally, top-notch. If you’re not ready to spend the hundreds of dollars that an iPod Classic requires, want a screen, and would prefer a tiny, light iPod, the iPod nano 3rd generation is the model you should check out.

Very durable in design. The back casing does get scratched easily but the screen is fantastic and I don't have any scratches yet. I got the 4 GB version and found that it stores all my songs and podcasts with plenty of leftover room. The screen is slightly too small for watching videos in my...

Pros: -Gapless playback. Plays music as intended by the artists. -Pocket friendly form factor. Despite people making fun the 3G nano as the "fatty," the form factor is actually ideal and really pocket friendly compared to the awkward tall 2G/4G nano. -The most informative now playing...
