A great step up
3 of 3 found this helpful It's what you're going to expect from any new IPod (minus the Touch, of course). Apple's new marketing idea, the Chromatic series, shines a new light to the Nano. Seeing that the third generation wasn't exactly a great new jolt to the Nano other than it being a miniature version of the IPod Video, the 4th Generation returns to the slim, tall model that the Nano was known as before.
The 4th Gen basically has only one new addition that stands out. Similar to the ITouch, the IPod Nano Chromatic is motion-sensitive. This allows you to tilt your Nano horizontally to watch movies or look through Album covers similar to the ITunes store. Additionally, there is the new shuffle method. Although the idea of "rattling" the Nano will shuffle your songs looks great in the commercials, it can be something to fuss about if you forget to lock your Nano whilst running, exercising, etc. And sometimes when you're running, you'll feel like reaching over your arm and changing the song. This will force you to hit the lock switch off, change the song, and lock it again to avoid the motion shuffle. The good thing, though, is that you can disable this feature. But it's more fun to shake the Nano to shuffle your songs rather than going to the Main Menu and scroll down click "Shuffle Songs."
The sleek, aluminum look is also an upgrade from the third generation. This is, in my opinion, the best IPod design ever released. The screen is a lot bigger in person, and about 1.6x larger than the third generation model. The chrome lock switch looks a lot better than the old white one. Also, it is incredibly slim. When you plug in the stock USB dock connector to the Nano, you can see that even the adapter is fatter than the Nano itself. And the fear of cracking it in half is not as scary as the older Nanos since this one definitely feels a lot more durable. The downside to this is that the earphone jack is on the bottom of the Nano, right next to the dock connector. The problem is that some people, including myself, have accessories that have us using both the earphone jack and the dock connector at the same time. They can easily get in each other's ways since some dock adapters are quite bulky, as well as some earphone jacks.
Overall, this is a highly recommendable MP3 product. It's already clear that IPods are more favorable than any other MP3 players out there, and this new Nano helps justify this statement even more. With all the available colors released right from the get-go, the only problem you might have is picking which color you like the most! Definitely pick this up if you can. 9/10
PROS:
-Slim, durable design
-New motion feature allows versatile ways to play and listen.
-Relatively large screen
CONS:
-dock connector and 3.5mm jack placement
