The Good
Gorgeous, superslim design with bright, photo-friendly screen; easy to operate; works seamlessly with iTunes and iTunes Music Store, which has the world's largest selection of music; nimble processor and system performance; no skipping, thanks to flash memory.
The Bad
Unspectacular battery life; though durable, device scratches easily; pricey in terms of gigabytes per dollar; 4GB maximum capacity is not a good fit for many power users; no sought-after extra features such as FM radio; no A/V-out; doesn't work with Camera Connector.
Bottom Line
Thanks to its limited capacity, the gorgeous Apple iPod Nano isn't for everybody, but it sets the standard for MP3 players to come.
