Paul , Bordon
Score 10.0/10+ The NANO is very small and compact, it has an excellent feel to it and the sound quality for such a small IPOD is amazing. The new features with the shuffle when you shake and the ability of changing the screen when you turn the IPOD make it different and better than the rest.

Jon, Cullercoats , “technophobe but keen”
Score 7.0/10+ Small, compact and a super little unit. The new Apple IPod is still well ahead of it`s rivals in the field.
- I had to dowload a newer version of Apples` ITunes software before the IPod would work. I am running the lastest ver of Vista Premium and (SP1). Although the process was fairly quick it did not spoil the overall enjoyment of the product.

Expert reviews for Apple iPod Nano 8GB 4th Generation
TechRadar expert review
Apple's ubiquitous iPod family has dominated the market from day one and the iPod nano remains one of the most popular models. Its wafer-thin 7mm profile is impressive with its lightweight stature making little or no dent in the pocket.However, don't be fooled by its slim design as it feels robust and expertly constructed. With only a lock switch adorning its frame, complete operation is left to the central touch wheel. Like previous iPods, the Cover Flow album art and the ultra intuitive menu system mean it remains slick for grazing speedily through your songs.Restrictive…

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.
