    Great everything! Apple's got me again!

    "Well, this is my third iPod. Third simply because I wanted a replacement for my previous, non-video iPods. Now, this Nano packs a punch even for its 4 gig capacity. I use this when I work out at the gym, traveling by land, sea, air and foot. I purchased mine 3 months ago and have used it and still use it at least 4 times a week for music, videos and games. Set up is very easy and plug and play. Plus it into you..." Read Full Review »

For something so exxy I expect it to last heaps longer than that! My two sons own iPods as well... Well, the one son has been through TWO iPods already!!! Granted he is a tree planter and might expose his iPod to ...unusual ..." Read Full Review »

    "This is a great ipod. The screen is wide, and very bright. It's small, sleek, and the main menu is much better than past models. One thing is that if you want to play movies, which i don't, i would by the ipod video because with a top of 8 gb for the nano, you can only store at most 5 movies on it "
