Huge capacity, small and light

No charger, no WMA support, poor earphones, uploading music only possible from own PC (software needed), no editing/deleting without a PC, body and display too easy to scratch

stores lots of music and pictures, small and fits easily into your pocket without being bulky, music volume goes quite loud.

battery runs out quickly, scratches very easily, the screan isn't very strong.

i think the ipod is good overall but it scratches too easily, even when there is nothing else in your pocket.

Nano worked well & looked stylish until very recently (last week).

Screen cracked last week for no obvious reason (it was not dropped & was merely being carried in a pocket).
