General Comments

The missus brought me a new generation Apple iPod nano 4gb back from the US and I'm well impressed.
Even though it's only 4gb I've already loaded up over 100 songs and 20 music videos all good quality and haven't even used a quarter of the memory yet, however its probably worth buying the bigger one if you're going to start putting lots of videos on there.
The sound quality is good, but the headphones are not as good as the original Nano headphones - apple have moved towards the tacky white plastic things instead of the squishy in ear jobbies like before.
The battery life with videos is only 5 hours which is pretty poor, but then a full charge is only a couple of hours so its not that bad, also it only comes with USB cable - no mains charger, so if you have no PC you're goosed. Battery life with music only is 12 hours.
I mark this down slightly for value for money as they are £99 in the UK, but only $150 in the US, thus a £25 saving if bought in the US. I would also have expected Apple to incorporate an FM transmitter (and quite possibly and receiver also) into the unit as they are so new, but no such luck - which is a bit of a problem if you want your ipod to work through your car stereo.
Anyway, overall I'm really pleased with it, its small, very thin, light and does a great job. I've had to hide it from the kids otherwise it would be long gone!
