Had to use Amazon's A-Z guarantee to get my money back. I gave the product 3 stars on each count because being an Apple product it is bound to be classy and very pricey...so middle grades are always appropriate. I will review the product when I actually receive another one (ordered from Apple direct) Rating: 3 / 5 It is unfair of me to review the product because the Amazon Marketplace seller sent me a fake product which never worked.

Amazon replace it and the new one that does work well. Good quality for music, pictures and video. Use of ease is also a plus. So the one star is the fact that it was not built well for the price paid. <br /> <br />Another small issue was you guys have a tendency of packaging item at the bottom of the sale, "People who purchased this also bought this" So I did as well and one of those items was the case for the Nano 4th Generation. Well it didn't fit, as all those who ordered it will tell you. Any way I gave up trying to get one that does fit. E-mailed you and the seller and the best I got was, "We have it now", but the shipping is more then the cost of the case. As a result of the two issues, that should have been on you. <br /> <br />I do look at you guys a little differently because of the two bad experiences with this one purchase. <br /> Rating: 1 / 5 Bottom line – it only lasted a week, but while it worked I loved it.

I was listening to it for an hour and a half on the lowest brightness setting, the 2 second backlight (because you can't see what your doing without the backlight), and the battery was indicating that I had 4/5ths of the power left. That means I could listen to music for about 6-7 hours. <br /> <br />My 2nd Generation ipod last 24 hours with full brightness and a 10 second backlight! I've had it for almost 4 years, too! <br /> <br />The "aluminum" casing looks like cheap plastic, and feels like it too. When I got the 4th gen ipod in purple, it was beautiful. This one was so ugly and flat colored and textureless that I couldn't even buy the blue or purple, I had to go with pink. The pink, red, green, and "gold" (more yellow) ones are the only decent looking ones. The other ones look very cheap. <br /> <br />But, the radio feature, while not having the best sound, is GREAT! The tagging of your favorite songs is even better. <br /> <br />In the end, I had to return it (just like the 4th gen). I listen to my ipod too much in a day to have it drain in a few hours. And what is the point of a beautiful display if you can't see it because the backlight is off and the brightness is so low? <br /> <br />It might have visual appeal, but it's not worth it if you have an original or 2nd gen or even a 3rd or 4th gen, because they all look and perform better. <br /> <br />I, unfortunately, will never be buying an Apple ipod again =( Rating: 2 / 5 This generation of the ipod has even less battery life than the 4th generation.

Rating: 2 / 5 In something of an unusual nano upgrade, Apple has supplied it’s latest tiny iPods with a few new features…none more unnecessary than the integrated video camera. With owners of the more advanced model, the iPod Touch, longing for such a feature for some time it seems Apple has purposely neglected the demands of the consumer yet again.

The latest features of the fifth generation iPod nano are as follows:

- Reduced Price

- Integrated Video Camera

- Upgraded Flash Memory (8GB 16GB)

- Larger Screen (Now 2.2 Inches)

- Microphone

- FM Radio (Only Available On HD Radio Stations In The United States)

- Slightly Longer Battery Life When Watching Videos (Audio: 24 Hours Video: 5 Hours)

By adding a camera to the Nano instead of the Touch it seems the latest upgrades have been designed with the kiddies in mind. Looks like consumers wanting a camera equipped iTouch will have to wait another year at least. Sigh…………….

The screen broke, and Apple wants $80 to fix it. I can't imagine such a poorly designed piece of equipment lasting any amount of time. What a piece of junk.
