 Amazing October 22, 2007

I just bought the new iPod nano 8gb Product RED from the Apple Store, and I cant believe how easy it is to use. Just a flick through the quick start guide and you are away. Its sleek design and tiny size is amazing, I don't know why I didn't buy one before. You download iTunes from the Apple website, and it is so easy to find the albums you want or if you have Windows Media Player, you can import and convert your albums ready for your iPod. Well Done Apple!!
You'll have to have it but won't know why! October 13, 2007

This is my fourth ipod and yet again I have updated even though I was perfectly happy with the one before!!! The new nano is great, keeps the small compact size of its predecessors but with yet more nifty little features that youll be showing to everyone who will listen. Compared to the previous nano it can now of course play videos as well as music and storing photographs which is great! You can even divide by TV, Podcast or Video/Films. Whats more the album cover show is ideal for swiftly moving between your favourite albums!
Pros:
Great new colours
Video Playback
Album Cover Flow
Larger screen than previous models
Cons:
Back is very easy to scratch - you definately need a case!
If you already own an ipod theres no need to purchase unless youve currently got less memory or you want the video playback but this device is perfect for any ipod lover!
 Pleased so far as it goes September 24, 2007

I'd give this version of the iPod a full five stars... for a few gigs more, cheaper video releases from iTunes, plus either a screen protector or a simultaneous release from an Apple-partner who makes cases!
As a novice the the world of digitised personal music I loved my iPod shuffle (G1) so much that I bought a (4gb G2) nano... and was then given an 80GB (G5) iPod with video. I found the latter disappointing. I spend a lot of time on 2+ hour train journeys and was looking forward to the ability to watch films/favourite TV shows during my travels. In the end, the promise of iPod-release movies was not brought to fruition (other than a small quantity of expensive Pixar shorts available via iTunes) and the hard-drive based format, though portable is still on the clunky side and far from pocket friendly.
With the third generation of nanos built around flash memory technology, Apple has brought video playback into a pocket-friendly format. (Yay!) The new nano is narrower, shorter and about 4x thicker than a credit card. A number of TV shows have now been made available to download via iTunes (still no films outside of the US iTunes site)... though since these are, in a number of cases, significantly more expensive than their DVD counterparts it's hard to imagine anyone favouring the downloads. At the time of writing, feature films are not yet available via the UK version of iTunes... although the Apple UK website and promotional literature do not reflect this, focusing instead on the new nano's technical abilities in terms of video playback.
After the scratching problems associated with earlier versions of the nano, it was disconcerting to receive my brand new nano without a screen protector... and I found myself unwilling to take it anywhere for the first few days of owning it, since the dimensions of the new nano are completely different to those of previous generations (of any model) so that the only currently available case/protection system appears to be the iPod sock. Since iPod socks are only designed to protect the unit from knocks when inside the sock, I'm still constrained on video playback when travelling!
Please, Apple... when releasing a new format of player, could you make sure there's an appropriate case for it to allow usage and protection, because otherwise iPods might be portable, but they ain't useable.
great little ipod September 23, 2007

I had an old mini ipod which served me well until I saw the new ipods and wanted the video playback. For 8gb it is the same price as the 4gb nano of old so I think it is worth it.
I love the size and the colour and the colourful screen. I have 945 songs so far and will have space for video too.
It's great, what's not to like?
Video - A genuine reason to buy!, September 10, 2007

Picked one of these up on the High St. today (Apple Store) & I am very impressed.
Had been holding off buying an addition/upgrade for my old 3gen Ipod which still works OK until Apple were able to offer me a reason to get another.
I wanted video playback but couldn't justify a new full size Ipod - so was delighted when video available on the new Nano.
Very small & compact - less than the size of a credit card but approx 3 times as thick.
Spilt screen / Cover Flow & Battery Life all very slick & impressive.
Only slight doubt is it worth an extra 30 for the 8gb - Maybe not I've encoded 3 full length films (using Clone DVD mobile) & have 300 songs & still have 4gb free - How much media do you actually need for a holiday / train journey / flight etc?
Highly Recommended!!!
