There are so many good points, I use my ipod when i'm at the gym and it's just the right size to put on your arm when your doing your exercises, the sound quality is very good and so is the battery life.
Can't think of anything that is bad about it apart from could do with being just a little bit cheaper apart from that than there's nothing bad about 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

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.

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.

I already have an ipod nano. I bought this one as a birthday present for someone. Its compact and holds a large amount of music, videos and films ideal for taking on holiday,walking, jogging and general music enjoyment. Sound is good and picture excellent on videos and movies.Well worth buying.
A bit fiddly if you have large hands.

Anne, Sheffield
Light, compact and easy to use. Bought this just before new nano was released, but i am happy with this version, due to shape and size.
Headphones are not very good, and i bought a pair seperatley - this is the case with most ipods though

Small...easy to use
holds about 0.6 of a GB less than it said on the packet and you don't get a charger with it, which means you have to wait until you go on itunes on your computer to charge it.

Size of product and ease of use are fantastic
Trying to find a docking station that will also charge the ipod at the same time is proving very difficult as this is still a relatively new ipod design.

absolutely fantastic piece of technology. Easy to use, brilliant, clear & larger screen. Find your favourite artist/album in seconds. I will never go back to the older versions of nano ipods.
The 4th generation ipod does not charge when used with docking system.

Not having the software disc with it and having to sownload the correct software is a bit of a pain plus the real lack of clear instruction on how to set things up. other than that once you get it set up and started its pretty easy to do.

Fiona, Winchester, “love my music”
Fit's perfectly in your pocket/bag. Got a few games on to cure boredom. Can store about 2000 songs on it,,i found with the others 1000 songs was not enough! It is a tad expensive but it's worth it for the amount of music/video's/pictures it can hold. And of course the colour is great :)
Not sure if this is the i-pod or my car stereo but i've had it set up in my car and the sound quality is not as good as you'd get from a cd.

It's just an awesome ipod, you can put so many songs onto it and i luv the fact you can see the album cover wen you play the song...and the design is gorgeous i especially luv the blue! The ipod is definatley a buy!
It was very hard to set up and work the features...and the back scratches very easily...but thatz all, they're not really a problem, just not-so-good points about it.

I pod is so unbelievably small, yet holds so many tracks. Very impressive.

I had an ipod for my 10th birthday and I think that it is brilliant. Excellent sound quality and really cool - mine is the green 8gb one.
My mum says she likes a bargain so perhaps the price could come down slightly.

It has an excellent memory - now I can fit my whole music collection onto one device! It looks cool too, and you can accessorise it. The sound quality is great.
It took me a while to get used to iTunes which is the only way you can put music and video onto the iPod. Also, you can only put music/video on that has been downloaded from iTunes or comes from your existing CD collection.
