Still no FM tuner
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

The fact that you have to upgrade to Apple's iTunes 8 software
Very slim and lightweight, supports voice recording
No FM tuner, must be turned sideways for video viewing
If you are looking for a new media player, the fourth-generation iPod Nano certainly merits consideration, but if you already own an Nano — especially a third-generation one — you may want to think twice before upgrading. ...
Abstract: This year, Apple has set the Nano back on track with the thinnest, lightest design yet, and has features that are hard to ignore. Offered in a wide range of colours (nine total) for both the 8GB (AU$199) and 16GB (AU$279) capacities, the latest iPod Na...
Abstract: Back in 2004, when I got my first MP3 player, I never cared that it lacked a camera, web browser and crystal-clear video playback - features that are now common on digital media devices. Apples latest iPod Nano offers these kinds of perks and plenty m...
Built-in video camera, mic, and speaker. Larger display, but same-size frame as previous-gen nano. Excellent user interface. New Genius Mix and VoiceOver features. Adds an FM tuner, and a pedometer.
So-so file support. Video camera can’t capture still images. Ships with Apple’s signature subpar earbuds.
Sleek Design, Good Screen, Great Sound, Responsive Controls
Dependance on iTunes, Subpar earphones, UI needs to be more refined, Expensive
The Apple iPod Nano’s fourth iteration maintains its reputation as an excellent MP3 player. However, in terms of design it has gone under the scalpel and emerged looking sleeker and more svelte. It still retains winning features such as its click whee...
Ultra-sleek and Light-weight, Built-in Accelerometer, Good audio and video quality, Decent battery life, Intuitive User Interface, Good data transfer rates.
Drag-n-drop of media not possible, Screen a bit too small for videos, Basic features like FM radio and voice recorder still missing.
The 4th generation of the iPod Nano 8 GB sells at approximately Rs. 9,000 while the 16 GB sells for around Rs. 11,500. This is completely against Apples theory of keeping the price of the newer edition the same (at least here in India, since in the U...
The battery life has reduced compared to the previous-gen nano. One movie is enough to drain the battery. But music lasts plenty of hours. Remember, if you are upgrading from an old iPod, you will still need to get iTunes 8 to work on the new nano. You...

More attractive and colorful than its predecessor; includes Apples new Genius playlist tool; tilt sensor; accessibility features for the visually impaired.
Upgrade to Apples iTunes 8 software with its laundry list of hardware requirements a must; the rounded screen invites glare; sound quality is only average.
The fourth-generation iPod nano is easy on the eyes and the wallet, and you cant beat its hardware and user interface design. Just be sure to give iTunes 8 a spin before committing.
Gimmicky Shake mode; included accelerometerbased game could be better.
LEAN AND MEAN: The new iPod nano is one sexy beast. APPLE amazingly comes up with a slimmer version of their iPod nano each year. This year is no different as the fourth generation of iPod nanos make their triumphant return to the slender long slim des...
