First looks: iPod nano "it sure is small and it sure is cool"

The Internet is ripe with iPod nano "first look" reviews hot on the kix of yesterday's product launch. The sounds of tittering tech cherubs casting early first-looks is nearly deafening as they proclaim on high how the device "looks like a winner", how everyone is "awed" by such a tiny device, and it's "the best combination of beauty and functionality of any music player I've tested." The last quote attributed to friendly Uncle Walt Mossberg. In fact, Walt gushes his way through a swooning iPod nano love-in finding the features, PC and Mac synchronization, sound, and battery all to perform as advertised, or better. He found the $39 lanyard to be "perfect" and even dropped the nano "several times" from a height of about 3 feet to see if it would skip — it didn't. Much more to come.

You can receive an ipod nano or any ipod for FREE. My friend just got one today. This is a GREAT DEAL.

DON'T DO IT! i was debating between the 4 gig ipod nano or the 20 gig ipod photo. i went with the 20 gig ipod photo because of its size. ipod nano seemed extremely small and the screen (only 1.5") was so small. i thought "what's the point of being able to preview photos and make slideshows if you can't even see them. for a little more, the 20 gig ipod photo had a 2" screen, a clearer picture, and a big enough navigation wheel. ipod nano may be good for some people who need to store it in small places, but most don't have that problem. In my opinion, it's just new technology for the sake of new technology, and it almost becomes not functional.

the nano gets marked very easily i reccomend a iskin ang keep the plastic on when you first get it! it your in for the looks you might be very dissapointed. Other than that the nano is value for money.Beware no firewire just USB i'm afraid.The small screen may not give you the pleasure of viewing photos clearly. rekha
