+ Nice and compact product with a good range of features.

- Bit disappointed that although it takes good video footage, it's a shame it doesn't take still pictures.
Battery life isn't all that long before a re-charge is needed.

+ New Nano feels thinner than the older version and really lightweight. Radio, Video and Pedometer also a bonus.

- Had to return my first one, as all songs slowed down and skipped, battery life drained. But new one working fine!!

+ Really good product would definatly recommend it, it may seem like a lot of money but its definatly worth it

- the colour can wear off if used a lot so it needs a protective cover which comes at an additional cost

+ I bought it for my Grandaughters tenth birthday and she loves it. Her Mum got one for her Christmas and hers is not nearly as good as the new on. The new one vidoes and can play and be heard without the earphones. There will be more good features but me being the Grandmother I am not up with modern things.Lauryn says it great and it is her favourite colour.

+ Has all the good points you would expect from an ipod, plus the video camera.

- The new Nano won't charge on a Bose docking station as other ipods have done before. I think this should be made clear at the point of ordering, as I would not have bought the item had I known.

+ Fully featured and easy to use

- 'Touch Wheel' can be a little tempremental if your using at the gym. It seems to have a problem detecting your presses when you start to warm up, making volume adjustment / menu selection awkward. otherwise no probs so far (4 weeks constant use).
