Apple iPod Nano (fourth generation, 8GB, silver)

Pros: The new accelerometer is very fun because it gets incorporated into a new game that is preloaded on the Nano, it is a maze game and you have to tilt the Nano to move the ball very fun! Cover flow runs much more smoothly than the 3g Nano.

Cons: The curved screen gets just a little glare but not enough to make a big deal out of it. The battery life is not as good which is disappointing. I also feel like the screen is a finger print magnet.

Summary: Over all I think that it is an improvement over the old Nano for the good. There is no need to go out and buy it if you have the 3g otherwise if you have any of the older Nanos I think it is time for an upgrade. The new elongated body will make some happy if they preferred the older Nano style over the fatty but I am neutral on style I like the square body, and I don't mind the rectangular body either. With the accelerometer built in you can now tilt the screen on the main menu or while listening to something and get cover flow to pop right up which is very nice. Also while your watching a video you are forced to turn the Nano on its side to watch something, but you can turn it on either side and it will flip the video upright to the side that you turned it on. the new shake to shuffle is good if your just wanting to turn some music on quickly or your just lazy like me and don't want to scroll through the main menu to find a song to listen to, you really don't have to shake the Nano that hard I found and it has not gone to the next track on me when I didn't want it to. I also cant wait to see if they make anymore games for the Nano that use the accelerometer. Alas I am happy they doubled the gigs for the same price and it is a very good mp3 player but there is still room for improvements. Thanks for reading!
