Apple iPod Nano (4th generation) Reviews

TrustedReviews reviews the Apple iPod Nano (4th generation) and writes;

“There’s no doubt that the fourth generation iPod nano is the best so far. The design is beautiful, even by Apple’s high standards, and the user interface is as intuitive as it always was. Crossfade is superb, and makes listening on shuffle even more enjoyable, but the nano still lacks some of the features seen on competing devices, like an FM tuner. ”

CNET reviews the Apple iPod Nano (4th generation) and writes;

“..The fourth-generation iPod Nano is easy on the eyes and the wallet, and you can’t beat its hardware and user interface design..If you own one of last year’s iPod Nanos, however, there’s little reason to make the jump to the fourth generation. The iPod Nano 4G’s new features are fun features to have, but they’re not worth $150-$200.”

PCMag reviews the Apple iPod Nano (4th generation) and writes;

“Although I really liked last year’s third-generation fat nano, the iPod nano 4G represents a clear improvement in both form and function..Once again, with the nano 4G, Apple has produced the coolest, slickest, and most intuitive sub-$200 flash player you can get, and easily earns our Editors’ Choice. ”

CNET.AU reviews the Apple iPod Nano (4th generation) and writes;

“Video, on the other hand, looks fantastic. Footage is smooth, vibrant and immersive — well, as immersive as you can get on a 2-inch screen. The bottomline: Cheaper, thinner, friendlier: the new Nano trumps its predecessors.”
