The third-generation iPod Nano offers crisp, bright video playback, an exceptionally thin all-metal body, above-average battery life, built-in games, and an advanced user interface."

It's excellent, but it's not a replacement for a dedicated video device."

bright, clear screen"

And even though this is the smallest video-playing screen I've used, after watching a 90-minute movie on the nano I was pleasantly surprised by the experience."

the increased use of album art and previews throughout the new iPods' interface makes for a better visual experience"

Battery life will be shorter if you frequently skip songs or if you use the nano's backlight for extended periods"

The sound quality on our test tracks was very good, with no audible system noise."

It also sports a snazzy new split-screen interface, revamped graphics, and a short, squat design--though it's still slim as ever"
|
|
|
"
|
Attractive new interface"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"
|
The screen is bright and crisp, and I found it comfortable to look at despite its small size, except in very bright sunlight."

Apple has made a few updates and enhancements to the "classic" interface, most of which will drive longtime users to exclaim, "Finally!""

Achieves better than promised battery performance, as well as nearly equivalent video and audio performance to the iPod classic, making better use of its smaller components."

|
|
"
|
Prior iPod Games, and iPod video accessories, are generally not compatible with this model"
|
|
|
|
|
