I got my Nano as I am sight impared and cant see the screen on any MP3 player.

The Nano is the only MP3 player that I am aware of that has the speaking menu option which is fantastic, it tells you every menu option, and which artist/song etc you are playing.

It has changed my life not only for listening to music, but I have loads of audio books on mine too. I havent been able to read a book for years, this is a brilliant product!! To enable the speaking menu, just plug your Nano into ITunes, and when you get the main screen come up scroll down and enable the talking menu check box, then follow on screen prompts. Its easy.

I am a silver surfer and this was my first Apple Ipod. One can only marvel at the technology built into the Ipod Nano 5th Generation. The ease of downloading music via I Tunes is remarkable but I still have to figure out how to dowload video clips! The sound reproduction and genre sorting is excellent and the video capture works well. I am a regular Amazon Customer and as usual the product was competitively priced and arrived on time. Altogether a very satisfactory experience. My only complaint is that Apple like so many other companies fail to provide a comprehensive, easily understood, product manual.

I’d always avoided iPods like the proverbial plague. After hearing numerous reports of weak earphones, tinny sound and the domineering iTunes, it sounded like a world of pain to me. So, 5 years ago I bought a Creative Zen, was very happy with it and would never look at anything else. Then, a pc upgrade rendered my “old tech” Zen unusable and I had to consider a replacement. Creative’s range was uninspring and I found myself looking at iPod’s again.

All I can say is…wow. What a little marvel. Sound being the most important, I was blown away by how good the 5th gen nano sounds. I don’t see why good sound should be sacrificed for portability and the 5th gen exceeds any expectations. On all other portable players I’ve bought, I’ve always swapped the earphones that came with it for more expensive models but the standard are so comfortable and snug. My music has never sounded so good, it is a joy to listen to on my 2 hour to and back from work. No matter what song I play, the sound is fluid, has bounce and handles bass/treble and mid ranges with ease.

The 5th gen is super slim but packs such a punch, a beautiful finish, large screen and weighs nothing. I recommend a hard case for it though, I can see it easily scratched. I have to applaud Apple’s forward thinking, instead of re-releasing the nano with nothing new, the difference between the 4th & 5th gen is staggering. Radio will be a major pull for some, not for me apart from if my bus is stuck in a traffic jam, the video camera and pedometer are interesting and inspired thoughts. A stills camera I would have definitely used but it’s a minor whinge over a missed oportunity.

I still don’t like iTunes, it’s like the tail trying to wag the dog but I acquired a book about iTunes and already have navigated some of the irritating aspects about it.

So, I’m a convert. Instead of selling out, I’ve been missing out. I can’t recommend the new nano enough, it will be interesting to see what Apple do next.

I rarely write reviews, in this case I’ll make an exception.

I bought the 16GB 5th Generation ipod nano as a replacement for the old 2nd generation 8GB model. I’m not a fan of Apple but the ipod appealed to me for two reasons, firstly I am subscribed to a lot of podcasts, and being the market leader it is just so much easier on itunes even if the software isn’t the most ergonomic music library I have come across, and secondly, being the market leader it has an amazing array of different accessories and this is where the 5th generation ipod falls flat on its face. Unfortunately some genius at Apple decided to move the cable port from the left hand side to the right which means not only do non of my current accessories fit very well (or in the case of my car charger/transmitter – at all) but very few on the market will either – 5 years worth of accessories wiped out in a single stroke. Whether or not the 5th gen nano will be supported is hard to say given Apple themselves are too busy pushing the touch and the iphone.

I can’t say the nano isn’t an impressive mp3 player, the design looks great, the screen is sharp and sound is as good as any nano. The usefulness of the camera however is debatable and not at all necessary as far as I’m concerned, the camera is also solely a video camera which means it oddly can’t take snapshots – only video. The ability to play movies (something not seen until the 3rd gen nano’s and later) also seems unnecessary for an mp3 player with limited resolution and memory space, although the resolution in this case does seem to be a dramatic increase over the 3rd generation and a slight increase over the 4th. The volume has also been limited on the European models it seems and is noticeably quieter than previous models, I haven’t found this a problem using the ear plugs but it is a problem when connecting it to external unpowered speakers. This generation of nano’s also comes equipped with an internal speaker which seems to work when the earphones aren’t plugged in, its a nice touch although as you’d expect it is both quiet and of poor quality.

If this is your first ipod and you just want to listen to music on the go then this may be for you. If, like me, you are replacing an old nano or are planning on using old accessories to catch up on podcasts during the daily commute in the car you’d be better off looking for a 4th gen nano.

The new ipod nano has many impovements, an 8GB flash drive which holds up to 2,000 songs or 8 hours video built-in video camera and large 2.2-inch colour display. It has an all-new FM radio with an innovative Live Pause feature, an amazing more vibrant colour selection, a nifty little voice memo system which allows you to say something into the built in microphone and it will store it as a memo.

So I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is wanting an even better ipod.
