- Given that the world has finite resources it is reprehensible that a product such as an ipod is designed to be obselete on the expiration of the life of the battery and the consequential forced not purchase. Out of respect to the environment and not just a desire for profit a respectable organisation would ensure that the facility to replace the battery was designed in to the product and that the organisation's products are not an additional drain of the finite resources of the Earth.

Score 9.0/10+ Portability is without question, the click-wheel is easy to use and the screen resolution is fantastic.
- Perhaps the click-wheel could be larger in diameter without sacrificing the overall nano size for easier use during exercise/running.

Score 9.0/10+ The best looking mp3 player on the market to date..it is slim, sexy with the Apple brand to boot. Simple to use navigation without having to press too many buttons and I like the Genius functionality.
- Battery life is good but there are longer lasting mp3 players on the market. It still is pricey for an mp3 player. Gave sound quality 7 out of 10 because I am unsure how it measures up to other mp3 players. Sound was good enough for me though.

- No inbuilt radio which many other similar products have, ear phones aren't very good quality and battery life isn't amazing

RJM, Herefordshire
Score 5.0/10+ Flip between portrait and landscape. Higher definition of pictures. This makes it a better machine for video than previous models but it is seriously worse for music
- Compard to my previous Nano, the battery charging connection has been changed so will not charge using the car connection fitted for my previous Nano so it cannot be left in the car making it unsuitable for this use. Tthere is no connection lead availalbe yet, i think. The volume level is less and it is not enough to convey the excitement of music. The shape makes it less easy to hold and use. the screen scratches more easily.

Expert reviews for Apple iPod Nano 16GB 4th Generation
TechRadar expert review
Apple's new fourth-generation iPod nano marks a triumphant return to the traditional vertical candybar format. We confess that despite some initial squeamishness with the design of the immediately preceding 'fatty' iPod nanos, we came to love them well, but somehow this latest generation just feels very, very right. The newly-portrait screen suits the frame perfectly; put it next to a first- or second-generation nano, and the truncated screen of the older model starts to make it look distressingly like a cheap knock-off. The most striking thing about the new iPod nano line-up is the…

MP3 Players Buying GuideManufacturer's Description
Rockalicious. Colour isn’t the only brilliant new iPod nano feature.
Colour isn’t the only brilliant new iPod nano feature.
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 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.
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.
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. 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 it 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.
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 Centre 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.
Shake your groove thing.
Sometimes, we could all use a little unpredictability. And now you can shake to shuffle 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.
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.
