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.

"Love the new screen, tilt and cover flow features."

By phillipa01 (cnet.com)

In conclusion, a fantastic upgrade from my pr... 

I had the previous pink iPod Nano and I found the screen too small, but on the new iPod nano, I found the screen to be big, bright and easy to look at. I found the tilt/shake features on the iPod as a good addition, but not necessary.

Thought the click wheel could have a sensitivity setting (going from slow-fast).
