Strengths: Very lightweight. Screen is small, but not too small.

Weaknesses: The back scraches easily so get a case for it.

Summary: I had a 2nd Generation Nano that I lost, so I got this to replace it. I have had it for about two months and have loved it. It is very compact and the screen is the right size to watch a personal movie. I would highly recomend it to runners because it is very lightweight and you can get a arm-band so you can listen to it while you run.

Strengths: Battery life improvements, decent navigation, quick response, good sound quality

Weaknesses: Pricey, does not come with wall charger, no belt clip

Summary: The small form factor of this ipod is both good and bad. I'm a tall guy, so it's sometimes awkward using the scroll wheel. I could find no major problems yet with the basic operation of this 3rd gen Nano, although I've had issues with my older ipod (mainly battery and crashing issues) so I'm hoping this one holds up. Battery life on this thing is much better than my older ipod. Audio and video quality are acceptable for me on an ipod this size. I did not like the lack of a belt clip, although I never owned a Nano so perhaps they never had belt clips. I think the Ipod mini had them, and I guess you can buy a hard case with a clip if you want one. I wish ipods still came with a wall a/c adapter charger. My old ipod came with it and they are a great help so you don't have to charge your ipod with your PC. These things are expensive as well when you buy the Apple brand a/c adapter separately.

Strengths: crisp clear lcd, nice matte front, battery life,price

Weaknesses: back prone to smudges and scratches, crappy earbuds

Summary: This is a great unit for anyone who wants an affordable player that works well.It hold up to 2,000 songs based on 4 minutes per song or up to 8 hours of video.

Strengths: Looks better then the previous Nano and has a bigger screen.

Weaknesses: The menu is somewhat hard to get use to.

Summary: This 3rd generation iPod Nano is small and sleek. It has the same solid feel as previous iPods but refined into a sleeker smaller design. The 8GB of space is pretty great too! The only quark I have with the iPod Nano is that the font is very small and could be a little bigger, easier to read. A nice added feature if you get the iPod from Apple is you can have them engrave whatever you want on the backside of your iPod, a nice personal touch. And I also recommend getting the Apple Care extended warranty.

Strengths: It is small and compact with a good battery life. Videos are clear!

Weaknesses: The case marks easily!

Summary: This is my first ipod! I like how compact it is and how I can take it with me wherever I go. I love the video feature and how clear the picture is. It is a great product for the price. I would purchase it again.

Strengths: Very small and thin, nice interface, video

Weaknesses: DRM infested - defectivebydesign.org

Summary: This has all the functionality of the hard disk iPods (5'th gen, classic) but VERY thin and small.Similar to all iPods though, unfortunately, it is DRM infested - defectivebydesign.org

Strengths: Slim, UI, battery life, can play photos & videos

Weaknesses: Back is shiny chrome (scratches easily), small scrollwheel

Summary: This is my 2nd iPod. My first iPod was a 4gb 1st generation iPod mini in 2004. I only have about 6gb worth of music - so the nano was a great choice for me. I also go to the gym 3-4 times a week and I always bring my nano along. The battery life is very good (claimed to be around 23 hours). I did also transfer some photos and videos on the new iPod nano and they do look pretty nice. In the tech specs, the Nano has the highest PPI out of the new iPods (including the touch and iPhone), this makes the photos and videos look nice & crispy on the screen. Although, the screen is a little too small to watch videos and now I don't really bother with the trouble of converting stuff to videos. I mainly use this to listen to music while I'm at the gym and in my car.Great iPod and I'd recommend it to all that is looking for something small/slim with this range of storage capacity (4gb - 8gb).

Strengths: audiovideo

Weaknesses: Free engraving from onsale.com

Summary: I love the Ipod and everything works perfectly, the only problem is the engraving that is free faded off in three days of opening the package.

Strengths: Huge screen, increased memory capacity, new navigation system, small size, video playback

Weaknesses: Metal back

Summary: This is a nice update of the iPod nano line overall. The screen, navigation, and memory upgrades are the most noteworthy. However, it is too bad that Apple went back to the metal back style that is a fingerprint magnet. This is the only downgrade from the previous generation. Otherwise, a quality Apple product that will keep you happy.

Strengths: The size of this ipod is just amazing and yet, very robust and sturdy. I guess thats because it's made out of aluminum. Oh, I can't say enuff about its visual display either.

Weaknesses: Ironic that it's weakness is its size. I feel like I can lose it whenever it's out of my hands. It can easily be stolen or swallowed up by a flaw in the time-space continueum.

Summary: I love this lil gadget as it has kept me company with lil complains or excuses. Apple has a nack for making really high quality products and this is no exception to their awesome craft. Call me what you will but Apple and their products have been good to me and I will continue to do business with them. This nano will help flame Apple's continued success.

Strengths: sleek and small. Easy to tuck-away in your pocket.

Weaknesses: For the price I would have expected a little more from this tiny mp3 player.

Summary: I would like to see a more variety in colors for all of the iPods. I don't like that you can only get certain colors with certain storage capacities. I opted to get this one because of the color but if they had it in the 4GB (which you can only get in silver) I would have purchased the 4GB.

Strengths: great big beautiful screen, movie playback

Weaknesses: none

Summary: Once again, Apple comes out with another excellent product! Here are some pros and cons about the nano.Pros: - Has a great big beautiful screen (2 inches)- Battery life is excellent! I got my nano about 3 weeks ago and it still hasn't died on me.- Sleek, smooth design- charge time is very quick (about 3 hours for full charge) - Interface is eye candy- sound quality is pretty decent with the provided ear buds (I would recommend getting a better pair of headphones though)- Movie play back and picture browsing is crystal clear

Strengths: Excellent video, small, compact, great hearing, easy manageable. Everyone should have one.

Weaknesses: Non whatsoever.

Summary: I bought this Ipod Video Nano and I am thrilled with it.. The quality and the size really matters to me. I using it everyday and I know it will last me for a long time. I recommend this product to people of all ages.

Strengths: Compact design while still keeping screen size. Battery life before recharging.

Weaknesses: None noted at this time.

Summary: This is the second nano ipod I have purchased in the last twelve months and like this one even for because of the video playback and the ease of downloads for the Itune store.

Strengths: Compact, ease of use, screen size, price

Weaknesses: iTunes download, headphones, reflective metal back

Summary: I highly recommend getting this. I purchased this for my husband for Christmas as the price was irresistible. I immediately opened it and found it to be very compact to hold in the hand. He will be using it while jogging and found other mp3 players difficult to scroll through and see in the sunlight. Since it had the reflective metal backing I went ahead and purchased a silicone case and the shield to protect it. They look great together. The headphones are not great. My son used them and the headphones he got from his Creative mp3 are of much better quality. You definitely have to spend extra $$ for better headphones. The Apple ipod Nano can't be beat!
