Score 8.0/10+ Range of applications, new features such as the volume button and "shake to shuffle feature". Very good wifi internet access and extremely easy to transfer files to and from itunes. Plus it looks amazing.
- A little big for an mp3 player. Battery life not great. Takes a little longer than other mp3 players to turn on. Also 8gb does not hold very much but the models with larger memory a little too expensive.
