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

By (cnet.com)

Packed to the gills with new audio-video features such as a video camera, FM radio, voice recording, Genius Mixes, a built-in speaker, and a larger 2.2-inch screen ; also gets a pedometer

The Nano's camera can't shoot photos or HD-quality video and Apple located its lens in the most awkward location imaginable. Storage capacities remain stuck at 8GB and 16GB

No other MP3 player on the planet packs more features, from video to a pedometer, into a smaller package than the overachieving Apple iPod Nano.

No other player offers video recording, but even without it, the iPod nano is still the most graceful device in its price range.

With a new polished and colorful paint job (you can choose from nine hues)...

Fifth-Generation iPod nano

By Susie Ochs (maclife.com)

The fifth-generation iPod nano packs new features into the world's most popular music player.

Built-in 640x480 video camera. FM radio, with live pausing and iTunes Tagging. Built-in pedometer. Voice memos. 16GB version is $20 cheaper than last generation

Video camera doesn't work well in low light, and it's easy to get your fingers in the way of the lens. Shiny, curved screen picks up some glare. Built-in speaker sounds tinny. Radio requires headphones. Included headphones don't support VoiceOver ...

Good Piece of Equipment

By (netmall.com)

I got this as a birthday present in place of the previously-planned digividicam, and it works very well. 16GB capacity makes it quite unlikely that you'll ever have to take any music off. It can hold virtually all of my library (or, at least, the portio...
