I love it. It is about half the size and weight and has 8gb (I have made a case for it with an altoids can,so think that tall but thinner both ways). Right now I have 1155 songs on it and have 2 gb left to fill, so I figure it can hold around 1500-1600 songs depending on size. It sounds great even with the earbuds that come with it. The touch wheel and interface is flawless, along with the black aluminum shell.(wich is like a mini ipod mini) it is prety much imposible to scrach other than the corners (top and botom) and you realy cant tell anyway. oh yeah the color screen is awesome.

It was $250, and I knew I could have spent the same amount on buying a iPod 30g, but i love how compact the nano is. It may be easier to lose, but its a lot easier to slip in your pocket than that of a video iPod! <br /> <br />Battery life is also very impressive for the small thing. The other thing that I dont like about the video iPods is how much they weigh, its great, I love the little thing and the fact that itll hold 2000 songs! I love it!

I was happy with this, apart from how easy it was to scratch, and how uncomfortable the headphones were (I bought a different pair). I recently got given the 2nd gen as a gift, which seems to solve all the problems of the first one. I have had the nano for about a month now, and despite it living in the bottom of my wet sailing bag for a couple of days, and staying in my pocket with keys etc, it still hasn't scratched! The headphones are also a heck of a lot more comfortable, and they have a small amount of rubbery stuff on the outside, which also helps them stay in your ear! Bonus! <br /> <br />It even went through the wash at one point, and survived! <br /> <br />I just left it by a sunny window for a day, re-charged it, and it was as good as new! <br /> <br />Now, i'm not recommending that you put it through the wash, but I definately recommend that you buy a new nano! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />And to the guy who was complaining about windows media not working with the nano, what do you expect, its an apple product!

Now, i’m not recommending that you put it through the wash, but I definately recommend that you buy a new nano!

"Supports voice recording" is entirely different than stating the product is in addition to a music player, a voice recorder. The strategic use of the word supports implies that the unit is capable of the function. As amusing as your shoes analogy was, it was a poor example as your shoes only support the ability to go view a movie. No added device enables your shoes to allow you to view the movie on it. Overall, the 2nd gen nano is a better product than the 1st gen. As with any product there is always something that could be better. Being a major marketing executive for a fortune 500 company I can assure you that there will never be a 100% "perfect" product or businesses would never have anything to leave consumers like yourself something to look forward to in future versions.

Oh well, I'll just return it I guess. The part about "supports voice recording" is nonsense. That is, if I bug another device that would do it then I get it. That's not the same as "supports it". This way I could say my shoes support playing movies, since I use them to walk to the theatre where I buy the ticket and watch the movie. Be honest people, the iPod does NOT offer voice recording, unlike a ton of other MP3 players who do. I really like the BBE effects I get with my Cowon iAudio U3. Maybe Apple could license the technology...
