Apple iPod Nano (fourth generation, 8GB, blue) review

By (cnet.com)

The fourth-generation iPod Nano is more attractive and colorful than its predecessor and includes Apple's new Genius playlist tool, a tilt sensor, and accessibility features for the visually impaired

To use the new Nano, you must upgrade to Apple's iTunes 8 software with its laundry list of hardware requirements ; the rounded screen invites glare ; sound quality is only average

The Nano's scroll wheel is snappy and responsive, however, the controls become a little confusing after turning the iPod sideways to watch video.

I like the menu features, font size option, smaller unit is nice

The 4th generation nano will not charge in a docking station. I get the screen message "Charging is not supported with this accessory". Thats a big inconvenience for me. Battery life seems to be shorter than earlier versions
