"I love it! But beware use of 1G accessories"
Pros: Thinner, lighter, brighter, no finger prints, stronger
Cons: 1G Nano accessories may not work with 2G Nano
Summary: This is a great iPod. I just recieved it last night and it works great with the new iTunes.
However, my wife has a 1G Nano and we have many accessories for it that I assumed would work on the 2G Nano (Apple does not mention this at all when purchasing the new Nano). The 2G iPod will not fit in the following accessories we have: the iPod Nano dock (I noticed a new dock for 2G Nano's on Apple's site yesterday), the Belkin Tunebase FM, and it does not fit as well in our cases.
The dock connector port on the 2G nano has been moved about an eighth of an inch to the left thus making it difficult to insert in to some 1G accessories.
For both the dock and FM transmitter, I had to take a chisel to them in order to make more space on the right side inner wall to fit the new nano.
I have also used FM transmitters than incorporate the dock connector and the headphone jack and I can assume that these will not work either due to the new spacing of the dock connector and the headphone jack.
Other than the fit issues, it's a great upgrade. I look forward to more accessories made just for the 2G nano.
