Good points:: I love my new i-pod. Had a shuffle before, but this is so much better. Haven't even managed to fill it yet!! Has so many functions that I haven't even got around to using, but I'm sure they'll be great when I do.
Bad points:: None!!

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Is pretty small so easily carried in pockets etc. Am still getting to grips with the controls and various functions - this is my first Ipod. Overall very happy with it.
Bad points:: Trying to get music on the Ipod was a bit of a nightmare. The music stored on our PC is in a different format. Tried to use a different computer to convert the music, but Itunes seemed to convert the music, but didn't store any information about who the song was by and every song seemed to be on individually, rather than in an album. On attempt number 4, we're now re-scanning each of our CDs and that seems to be working better (although I'd be lost without my husband!).

Good points:: I love this Nano, its small enough to take anywhere and easy to use. The large screen is also a bonus, it has a clear picture quality and the video camera is a brilliant feature, you can clearly see and hear all your films/videos.
Bad points:: The loudspeaker could be slightly louder and have better sound quality.
