Wayne Layrea's review of the September 22, 2005 10:45:13am

General Description: This new iPod nano is both very small and thin (a little bigger than a credit card). Compared to its larger brother/sister, it is only a third of the iPod mini’s weight. At the moment, the nano is available in either black or white. Good Points: With the 4GB model the nano can hold up to 1000 songs on its internal hard disk. This is plenty of storage for your favourite songs. The colour display is very clear and is a vast improvement over the iPod mini. The addition of a colour display also means that you can store and view your digital photos. The 14 hours of battery life is also a vast improvement over the iPod mini. Bad Points: A recent Watchdog report (played on BBC1) claimed that the battery life of some current iPods gradually deteriorates with time. In the report, some of the interviewees also claimed that their iPods were rendered useless within a year of purchase. With Apple’s refusal to replace old batteries free of charge Due to the size of the iPod nano, the controls are smaller making it slightly harder access the controls. Verdict: A very stylish and attractive MP3 player which is a must buy for any gadget lover. However, the small controls make it a little difficult to use at times.
