Summary

On some level, I know that life existed before the iPod, but I really can't remember it. iPods have changed the way our family listens to music and co-exists with each other; we ditched our stereo in favor of good speakers for the iPod. We use our...

Strength

Small. Color screen. Shows graphics, if you care about them.

Weakness

Shows every fingerprint and smudge. A poor value compared to the 30 GB iPod.

Bottom Line

This is an excellent MP3 player, but for most people, the 30GB iPod represents a significantly better value.

Summary

I've been a bit out of the MP3 scene... there is only so many units one can play with and I definitely have bought more than my share of units. The last major MP3 player I bought was the iRiver H10 (can't really count the Lexar LDP-200 unit as a major...

Strength

Size, Color Screen, 2-4 GB flash memory, you can exercise with it, black color

Weakness

$250 against 4GB iPod mini, non-user replacable batteries, placement of headphone jack and dock connector

Bottom Line

The Nano is almost to die for... Apple has another winner on its hands although a bit expensive. Minor shortcomings outweighed by size and usability.
