Apple has recently released the new iPod Nano 8GB.
Due to my recent “misadventures“, I had to buy a new iPod. I cannot be in a public transport for 40mn everyday without music.
I previously had a 60GB iPod Photo. It was great and I was able to load it with a lot of music. But it was heavy.
I choose to get a iPod Nano 8GB because it is small, have a nice style and I can load it with 3 days of music. And it is enough.
And I am very pleased of my choice!
I can have it every day in my suit at work and you do not feel the weight.
The sound quality is the same than the big one.
And, cherry on the cake, you can use it with mountain bike as you do not have an hard drive inside.
So, the iPod Nano 8GB is the perfect iPod up to now. Try it and you will love it 
Having never previously been moved to buy an ipod due to poor battery life I decided to buy one of these new 8GB Nano’s for my Girlfriend. All good, working well with a few hiccups due mainly to the Newer version of Itunes, then on the third day, all stop. The trackwheel and all buttons on it are completely unresponsive, tried restoring to Factory default settings through ITunes, this completed fine, but still unresponsive.
It does seem like too little care has been made to ensure basic build quality on these units (purchased in first week or so of UK release date).
Needless to say I will be returning the unit to the store, not decided whether to get a new IPOD replacement unit or a more reliable alternative…….So did try it, loved it for a while, but shoddy build quality has let it down!
