+ Very convenient size and weight. Decent enough sound quality.

- Sometimes when you have headphones plugged in, audio will play out both the headphones and the internal speaker. Quite embarrasing as you do not realise you are annoying others on the bus. A hard reset sorts this.

Paul, Cleckheaton , “teacher in my 30s”

Score 8.0/10

+ The look and feel of the ipod nano 16G is fantastic. It's sturdy, compact and good for transporting around in your pocket. It also has enough room for most peoples vast music collections.

- To be honest, i've found the downloading procedure from itunes a bit of nightmare at times. I somehow have managed to have a duplicate set of songs on my laptop which has put a serious dent in my hard drive space. Itunes have attempted to make life easier for users, but I've found it tries to do too much and gives you less control over download, and potential for the mess up that I now have. Hope someone who works for Itunes reads this!

- Existing docking system for speaker would not take new ipod. Therefore hidden cost which had not been expected in being able to replace with same make & type. Query can a modification be purchased to allow docking system to be used. Original ipod was the original version of the ipod nano

- CAN ONLY BE CHARGED ON PC USING SPECIAL LEAD - A MORE GENERIC LEAD WOULD BE HELPFUL AS I LOST THE ONE SENT WITH THE IPOD AND HAD TO BUY A NEW ONE
CAN'T REALLY BE PLAYED WITHOUT SPEAKERS OR HEADPHONES - STAND ALONE SOUND FROM THE IPOD IS VERY QUIET AND NOT GREAT QUALITY
CAN'T DOWNLOAD SONGS DIRECTLY FROM PC - HAVE TO HAVE ITUNES INSTALLED AND LEARN THAT PROGRAMME!
CAN'T PLAY RADIO ON DOCKING STATION AS HEADPHONES WORK AS THE AERIAL!

Score 7.0/10

+ Good display, easy to use

- Personally I didn't need the camera, slightly annoyed that I had to convert all my music from the old MP3 format which took ages. Don't like the fact that you are re-stricted to "sync" with one particular computer, my old MP3 - I decided when and what to "sync" with. Not all album pictures were available and the info on how to find them was useless however searching the internet I got the answers. Shame it doesn't come with some sort of basic case. Why did I buy it - I needed a new MP3 player and the software in my new car supported an ipod, would I have bought it if this was not the case - No, I would have probably just picked a Sony or similar MP3 player.
