We already loved the nano
But we love this fifth generation model so much it hurts. In a good way. Apple's kept the same slender design as the previous model
But given it a larger 2.2-inch screen which is great for showing off that spanking new vide...

Video camera & FM radio are pointless

No still camera
Video camera lens is in an odd place
Have to use iTunes software
A little more expensive than rival models
16GB storage won’t be enough for some
Video recording isn’t perfect. Weak headphones
Video recording isn't perfect
Headphones as poor as ever
No still image capture and iTunes Tagging won’t work in the UK
Not much really. You still can't take still photographs (which seems weird as you can now capture VGA video). Also when taking video you're in danger of shooting your fingers. But that's par for the course with something this small. Oh and the...
Overall, the new Nano is bound to give stand-alone pocket camcorders a run for the money. Sure, it doesn't shoot HD video, and it might not have the same video quality or extra features that dedicated pocket camcorders have, but I don't think that wil...
Attractive aluminum design, Remarkably slim and lightweight, Larger display than predecessor, VoiceOver feature, Built-in pedometer and FM tuner
Uncomfortable bundled earbuds, Lackluster video recording in low light, Not the best audio quality, nano doesn’t support iTunes Extras or iTunes LP photos/interviews
The fifth iteration of Apple’s tiny portable media player keeps the same featherweight body as its predecessor but adds a bigger screen and video recording.
Built-in 640x480 video camera. FM radio, with live pausing and iTunes Tagging. Built-in pedometer. Voice memos. 16GB version is $20 cheaper than last generation.
Video camera doesnt work well in low light, and its easy to get your fingers in the way of the lens. Shiny, curved screen picks up some glare. Builtin speaker sounds tinny. Radio requires headphones. Included headphones dont support VoiceOver features. AC...
If you need a small, handheld video camera, youll get better quality and easier editing from any of the Flip cameras ($149.99 to $199.99, www.theflip.com), but if you want a rad little media player that can shoot quick videos of your friends goofing ...

Abstract: Every September for the past four years, Apple has re-designed and refined the Nano (which replaced the popular, hard-drive-based iPod Mini). Over the years, the Nano evolved from plastic to aluminum, added video playback, bigger screens and ever-m...
Abstract: So Apple had their annual iPod/iTunes event on September 9, 2009 and with that, introduced improved iPod Touches, along with a totally revamped iPod nano, with iTunes 9 and iPhone OS 3.1, as well as the new iTunes LP format (codenamed “Cocktail”). I...

Video camera's lens placed in a stupid location. Can't take still images. Lacks autofocus. Has no optical zoom (but neither does the Flip). External speaker has squeaky audio playback

Abstract: Apple’s traditional September iPod event last week failed to deliver the all-encompassing camera update widely predicted, leaving the compact fifth-generation iPod nano as recipient of the most attention. With video recording capabilities, a new radio...

Packed to the gills with new audio-video features such as a video camera, FM radio, voice recording, Genius Mixes, a built-in speaker, and a larger 2.2-inch screen; also gets a pedometer.
The Nanos camera cant shoot photos or HD-quality video and Apple located its lens in the most awkward location imaginable. Storage capacities remain stuck at 8GB and 16GB.
No other MP3 player on the planet packs more features, from video to a pedometer, into a smaller package than the overachieving Apple iPod Nano. See all products in the series
