We like:
Crisp, bright video playback; exceptionally thin all-metal body; above-average battery life; built-in games; advanced user interface
We don't like:
Wider body; smaller scroll wheel; lack of video output; average-sounding audio quality
CNET UK judgement:
Apple's new iPod nano seems to be drawing equal amounts of ire and admiration. Although we miss the slender form of the second-generation iPod nano, we feel the latest edition has more going for it than against it. At less than £100, the 4GB iPod nano offers one of the richest user experiences we've seen on an MP3 player
