Review by Mrs. M. E. Pettit for New Apple iPod nano with Camera 16GB (5th Generation) – Purple
Rating:
This is a really beautiful object. Apple ALWAYS win hands-down in the style stakes and the new iPod nano is no exception. The polished metal casings are more robust than the earlier plastic ones and the range of colours is superb. My daughter was delighted with it (it was a birthday present) and has been very pleased with all the new features. The video camera is fun (but why no still camera?) and the radio receiver is another well-received addition. She hasn’t had it long, so I can’t yet comment on its reliability but I never worry about purchasing such things from Amazon as the returns/refunds policy is excellent and I have never had any problem with anything I have bought in the past.

Me and my family has owned loads of iPod Nano’s over the years and this is the best yet. It is amazing what technology can be squeezed into such a small package. Highly recommended.

I’d always avoided iPods like the proverbial plague. After hearing numerous reports of weak earphones, tinny sound and the domineering iTunes, it sounded like a world of pain to me. So, 5 years ago I bought a Creative Zen, was very happy with it and would never look at anything else. Then, a pc upgrade rendered my “old tech” Zen unusable and I had to consider a replacement. Creative’s range was uninspring and I found myself looking at iPod’s again.
All I can say is…wow. What a little marvel. Sound being the most important, I was blown away by how good the 5th gen nano sounds. I don’t see why good sound should be sacrificed for portability and the 5th gen exceeds any expectations. On all other portable players I’ve bought, I’ve always swapped the earphones that came with it for more expensive models but the standard are so comfortable and snug. My music has never sounded so good, it is a joy to listen to on my 2 hour to and back from work. No matter what song I play, the sound is fluid, has bounce and handles bass/treble and mid ranges with ease.
The 5th gen is super slim but packs such a punch, a beautiful finish, large screen and weighs nothing. I recommend a hard case for it though, I can see it easily scratched. I have to applaud Apple’s forward thinking, instead of re-releasing the nano with nothing new, the difference between the 4th & 5th gen is staggering. Radio will be a major pull for some, not for me apart from if my bus is stuck in a traffic jam, the video camera and pedometer are interesting and inspired thoughts. A stills camera I would have definitely used but it’s a minor whinge over a missed oportunity.
I still don’t like iTunes, it’s like the tail trying to wag the dog but I acquired a book about iTunes and already have navigated some of the irritating aspects about it.
So, I’m a convert. Instead of selling out, I’ve been missing out. I can’t recommend the new nano enough, it will be interesting to see what Apple do next.

I rarely write reviews, in this case I’ll make an exception.
I bought the 16GB 5th Generation ipod nano as a replacement for the old 2nd generation 8GB model. I’m not a fan of Apple but the ipod appealed to me for two reasons, firstly I am subscribed to a lot of podcasts, and being the market leader it is just so much easier on itunes even if the software isn’t the most ergonomic music library I have come across, and secondly, being the market leader it has an amazing array of different accessories and this is where the 5th generation ipod falls flat on its face. Unfortunately some genius at Apple decided to move the cable port from the left hand side to the right which means not only do non of my current accessories fit very well (or in the case of my car charger/transmitter – at all) but very few on the market will either – 5 years worth of accessories wiped out in a single stroke. Whether or not the 5th gen nano will be supported is hard to say given Apple themselves are too busy pushing the touch and the iphone.
I can’t say the nano isn’t an impressive mp3 player, the design looks great, the screen is sharp and sound is as good as any nano. The usefulness of the camera however is debatable and not at all necessary as far as I’m concerned, the camera is also solely a video camera which means it oddly can’t take snapshots – only video. The ability to play movies (something not seen until the 3rd gen nano’s and later) also seems unnecessary for an mp3 player with limited resolution and memory space, although the resolution in this case does seem to be a dramatic increase over the 3rd generation and a slight increase over the 4th. The volume has also been limited on the European models it seems and is noticeably quieter than previous models, I haven’t found this a problem using the ear plugs but it is a problem when connecting it to external unpowered speakers. This generation of nano’s also comes equipped with an internal speaker which seems to work when the earphones aren’t plugged in, its a nice touch although as you’d expect it is both quiet and of poor quality.
If this is your first ipod and you just want to listen to music on the go then this may be for you. If, like me, you are replacing an old nano or are planning on using old accessories to catch up on podcasts during the daily commute in the car you’d be better off looking for a 4th gen nano.

I am a silver surfer and this was my first Apple Ipod. One can only marvel at the technology built into the Ipod Nano 5th Generation. The ease of downloading music via I Tunes is remarkable but I still have to figure out how to dowload video clips! The sound reproduction and genre sorting is excellent and the video capture works well. I am a regular Amazon Customer and as usual the product was competitively priced and arrived on time. Altogether a very satisfactory experience. My only complaint is that Apple like so many other companies fail to provide a comprehensive, easily understood, product manual.
