Strengths: -portable (on-the-go)-bright screen-responsive accelerometer-shake to shuffle

Weaknesses: -should've bought the 16gb-very fragile can easily break -although scratch proof...the apple logo can become vulnerable to scratches diminishing the physical looks

Summary: Overall, I am not too satisfied with the product. However, Apple has put in a substantial effort in revolutionizing this particular generation. It is very bold and eye catching.

Strengths: Battery life, small, sturdy

Weaknesses: None

Summary: The screen is clear and bright. It has great battery life and can last for a couple of days without recharging. I like the sleek design and the metal feel when you hold it.

Strengths: Battery life (for music), Price, Light Weight, Speedy Interface

Weaknesses: Curved screen causes glare, Needs to be rotated for videos/game-play

Summary: Although I've owned multiple "Classic" iPods, iPhones and a mini, this is the first iPod Nano I've purchased since the first generation Nano. After three generations of Nanos, Apple just about has it right. This Nano has double the capacity. The screen is almost twice as big. Battery life is much improved. They've added features such as "Shake to Shuffle," video playback, genius playlists and a much nicer interface. All of this for $100 less than I paid for the first one. So if this is your first Nano, or you haven't purchased one since the 1st-2nd generations, this is a great upgrade. However, it still has its flaws. The Nano must be rotated for viewing videos and gameplay, and the battery doesn't lost very long when playing videos. If you own the 3rd-generation Nano this isn't much of an upgrade. The added feature list is quite gimmicky and battery life for video playback has actually been reduced. One positive aspect is that they've replaced the easy-to-scratch mirror finish in this release. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. Improvements on current features from the first generation are nice, but no "wow" for owners of more recent Nanos, so hopefully we'll see some more innovative features in future Nanos.

Strengths: shuffle(accelerometer), cover flow options, genius playlist, bigger screen, nice design, great price

Weaknesses: too fragile, if you put them on the speakers, they kinda tilt backwards since its tall and slim.

Summary: i bought the iPod nano 4G a few weeks ago and was quiet impressed with its design. This is my first iPod and I really liked its design better than the previous Ipod nanos.For its good points and bad , I have already mentioned it above, Overall its a masterpiece.
