Apple iPod Nano (sixth generation)

The iPod Nano, now in its sixth generation, has received a hefty facelift. Gone is the long, slim design of the fifth-generation Nano along with the t...

Responsive and clear multitouch screen, compact, FM radio, ease of use

No camera, no video recorder, lacks alarm clock and calendar, can't manually turn it off, no in-line headphone controls

Apple has completely overhauled the iPod Nano. The sixth-generation portable media player is even smaller than its predecessors and features a handy touchscreen, but it lacks some key features of previous models.

Very slim and lightweight, supports voice recording

No FM tuner, must be turned sideways for video viewing

If you are looking for a new media player, the fourth-generation iPod Nano certainly merits consideration, but if you already own an Nano — especially a third-generation one — you may want to think twice before upgrading.

Apple - iPod Nano 4GB

When Apple refreshed its product range in September the iPod Nano got a significant makeover. It still uses flash memory, rather than a mini hard drive, but it's gained some of the curves of the iPod ...

Is the new Nano any good? No, it is very, very good indeed. There are one or two players that have better audio quality but nothing approaches Apple's ease of use, quality, style and now, for the first time, value for money. That's right; not only is...

Pink Nano

I have purchased this Nano for my daughter for Christmas. It is definitely pink. Having taken a quick look at it to make sure it was working etc. I am sure it is going to be the coolest present she gets this year.
