Apple iPod nano

Commendable loyalty Craig, but the Ipod Classic is not a serious video contender due to the tiny screensize. Any serious viewing will leave you with eyestrain. Apple should have taken advantage with the classic and introduced a landscape widescreen, much akin to the archos range. Only then would people consider it a true video & audio player.

Riyad understands that it's the little observations that add up to a useful review :

"Yep, that’s right, just like the SanDisk Shaker, the new nano can be shaken in your hand to shuffle the tracks. Although this seems pretty cool at first, I can imagine than you’ll get some odd, if not angry looks from the guy opposite you, while you “shake” your hand in his direction whenever you want to shuffle your tracks."

The nano (although I had one, and my iPod touch 1st Gen is my 6th iPod) seems more like a middle ground between all the different iPods. If I was looking for lightweight portability, I would go with the shuffle. If I was looking for storage, I would get a classic. If I wanted apps and basically a PDA, I would get a touch. I think the Nano serves as a median of all the iPods, making it the most generic of them all.
They are pretty though.. hehe.. I am contemplating a Shuffle for winter sports. hmm.. and yeah, I do miss my orange shuffle.
