Apple iPod nano 5th Gen 8GB

@Bobafett: I may try and do a video review of the nano for next week (no guarantees but I'll see what I can do) but even then the video samples will have to be reencoded. There's not really any practical way to host the uncompressed video unfortunately.

Jay: You're not actually helping your own argument there. When walking down the street, I don't notice traffice noise and I do notice sound quality - because the bundled earphones that came with my Sony are excellent at blocking outside noise.

I disagree that drag-n-drop is any harder than using iTunes - but even so, it's not the only option. Ever heard of Winamp?

You say yourself that you won't be getting one because your original Nano is "100% fine". Again not really helping the argument in favour of the 5th Gen. Here is a player that offers little benefit over previous generations, and at a fairly high price.

I wasn't trying to argue the point to buy the new nano just that as a sole mp3 player it's ok but as a package as a whole it's quite good, yes there are alternatives to itunes but also in itunes you can drag music out to an external device pretty easy too. I dont think it's too expensive either but value and price is subjective.
Also is it not dangerous to have earphones blocking out the noise when your walking about - cyclists and such

I have to say Apple do have some sexy mp3 player with some cool features BUT!!! You have to sacrifice, things like sound quality. SONY & Creative own sound quality. And as for Formats of music, Apple don't do that either. The only reason i would buy an Ipod and thats because, you have Itunes for Movies, other than that being tied to I tunes is crap!! And the prices you pay in the long term :O
