Apple iPod Nano 8GB 4th Generation MP3 Player Reviews

+ Sound, ease of use and features.

- Not compatible with previously purchased iPod charger or iPod stereo. Very disappointing, as this means that it can only be charged via PC/Laptop. The product itself is wonderful.

+ Great product.

- Previously owned an i-pod - the charger adaptor connection is the same however, it’s not compatible with the Nano. What a waste ! plus price of accessories are ridiculous. Talk about maximising profit from 'added value' accessory products.

+ Good value for money, nice design and good capacity for the price. Loved the colour and compact size, very easy to use.

- I've read a number of reviews warning buyers that accessories issued for use with previous generations of ipod won't necessarily work - I recommend doing your research and checking that the reviews for any accessories actually state that they have found the item compatible with this specific version of ipod (it seems the product description on some websites is not always reliable). The product only comes with the cable to link it to your laptop and so this is the only way of charging it if you rely on what's in the box - however I found it very easy to purche a mains charger for only a couple of pounds from a reputable website so this didn't add very much at all to the cost.

+ The screen it clear and big. The games are good. The sound quality is very good and its just the right size to carry around with you.

- The battery drains quite quickly.

+ Everything is good - the style, features, colour - everything about it is just fantasic !

- the battery life isnt as great as my other Nano - but everything else makes up for it !

+ Stylish, light, portable, great 'shake' feature, nicely packaged.

- Does not come with mains charger - transferring songs, videos and podcasts complicated (not simple drag and drop as all other MP3 players). Tiny little quickstart guide comes with it - all other info/manual is online. Even online manual is limited - for example doesn't tell you how to delete/remove songs. There are cheaper MP3/MP4 players on the market with as much memory that are far easier to use! You need to be well up on itunes to be able to use this one.

- Does not work with previous accesories. Including speakers and chargers.

+ It has many updated features from the old ipod. Genius feature, shake and shuffle, sleek design, Games, video are all great. Sounds brilliant too.

- It doesn't charge on my IPOD speakers like my previous IPOD meaning I have to charge when on computer, The battery runs out a lot quicker than on the 3rd generation Ipod of which I had previously. The shake and shuffle can be problematic if you don't want to put it on hold.

+ Small, good sound quality and easy to use. My 7 and 5 year old children can use it.

- None that I have found yet.

+ Looks good, plenty of memory and easy to use

- Expensive

+ Just what we needed. Only just mastering it at the moment but downloads plenty of songs and so far loved it.

+ compact- brightly coloured-not easy to lose-sound quality good- the ew stretchy cases are good

- the on/off switch very small need to use a pen etc to turn on and off, could do with standing out slightly more so it can be switched easier

+ compact, easy to use, and travel with.

+ very small and easy to use. I bought this to use with the Nike+ and it is an ideal size for going running but still stores more than enought music.

- Apple always seem to charge for every thing and my charger for my IPOD classic does not work with this even though the connections are exactly the same.
