Apple iPod Nano (2nd generation, 8GB, black)

Pros: Scratch resistant, small, lightweight, better battery life, brighter screen

Cons: Only $50 less than a 30 GB iPod video, no FM Tuner, no video

Summary: You have to hold this thing to understand how awesome it is. It weighs nothing, yet feels durable. The 2G black Nano is black all over. The lettering on the scroll pad and the apple info on the back are white. It looks really sweet. The screen is brighter, though I am not sure it was necessary.

It comes with the new Apple earbuds, and I have to say they are pretty sweet. You can definitely hear/see some bass. If you take them off and turn it up to the max, the whole room can hear it clearly.

I don't care about an FM tuner or video, I just need a small flash player that I can use in my car and to work out with, and I can't think of a better player to do it with.
