Yes
It’s the thinnest iPod ever made
But only thanks to Apple’s crafty tapering at the edges. It’s also much taller than its predecessor

Abstract: For its third anniversary, the highly portable 4G iPod nano gets a new tall and slim design, Genius Playlists, audio recording and other new software features, twice the storage at the same price, and a new array of colors. It continues to offer high...
Abstract: The nano line is new and improved with some great feature additions and a whole rainbow of available hues, and the new Touch is curvier and more functional than the last. Genius playlists are everywhere, and they just may make you happy when you want to listen to a good selection without putting too much work into it.
This text will be replaced We wont miss the older, square, postage stamp-shaped iPod nano 3G; we definitely welcome the return to Nano form in the new Apple iPod nano 4G. This iPod nano is sharp, almost in a literal way, the edges are so tapered an...
Apple’s highest-capacity mid-range flash player to date, with an outstanding array of nine color options that for the first time are available at a $149 base price rather than as a premium option. Preserves most of the features of last year’s...
Battery life for video and game playing has dropped from prior version, though audio playback time is roughly the same. New tapered shape feels like a dull knife in the hand, versus the softer curves of prior iPods and nanos, and requires rotation for

Enough colors to make you second guess dropping that third hit of acid before hitting the Apple store. Up to 16 gigs of storage. On the fly Genius (should be called Lazy) Playlists let you quickly suit your music mood. Energy saver mode is clutch. 8 gigs...
Why no love for the squarePod? Shaketoshuffle is a nightmare during parkour outings; switching off the muchneeded French Hip Hop in favor of our knitting podcasts whenever jostled. Tapered design is just curvy enough to be fey, but not quite severe enough...
Very slim and lightweight, Supports voice recording
No FM tuner, Must be turned sideways for video viewing

Overall, the new 4G iPod nano looks like a solid upgrade in most areas, despite slightly-shorter video-watching battery life (and, to some of us, a step backwards in shape). Perhaps most important - from Apple's perspective, at least - the new design,...

The fourth-generation iPod Nano is more attractive and colorful than its predecessor and includes Apples new Genius playlist tool, a tilt sensor, and accessibility features for the visually impaired.
To use the new Nano, you must upgrade to Apples iTunes 8 software with its laundry list of hardware requirements; the rounded screen invites glare; sound quality is only average.
