General Comments
Have both the first generation Apple iPod Nano (4gb) and now the new metal 4gb one. Both are great however the old Nano has about an hours battery life and the new one really does seem to have 24 hours. First one was covered up due to the horror stories about the screen and scratches. The new one isn;t and seems to resist scratches fine. The first one came with reasonable headphones and I really appreciated the good quality sound and fit ( a far cry from some serious money headphones but still better than most). The new iPod came with different ones and I assumed they just looked different and would sound the same, I was wrong, they didn't fit in my ears well and sound a good deal worse than the older ones. My one recommendation is to budget to buy some decent headphones with the new generation iPod.



Buy if you want enough music not to be repetitive (like the shuffle) and it's not too big and heavy. I have had no faults on mine and I think it is a really nice looking bit of kit too.
