Meditations on nano
The new compact design means the nano is discrete. The new built-in clip means you can attach the nano to your person for hands-free operation — and the display rotates so you won't have to fuss when it comes time to find a new artist. The 24-hours worth of playback time means you'll never be stuck on the C platform without something to listen to. Plus, the Multi-Touch display lets you experience your music in a new way: tap to play anything you want to hear. Swipe the Home screen to browse your music by songs, albums, artists, playlists, genres, or composers. You can even rearrange the icons on your Home screen so your music is organized just how you like.
New look. Same great Genius features.
Underneath the new glam, this revamped iPod nano is still the nano you love and adore. The Genius feature finds the songs in your music library that go great together and makes a Genius playlist for you. A built-in accelerometer allows you to switch between landscape and portrait view on the LCD. Give it a shake and it shuffles to a different song in your library. And the 8GB capacity puts up to 2,000 songs at your disposal.
Nano helps you get fit
Okay, you need to provide the actual motivation, but if you do manage to get off the couch and onto the trail, you'll love nano's pedometer function. It keeps track of time, pace, and calories burned (yes, it's an approximation). And, you can utilize the Nike+ website to track your progress, goal by goal.
Apple improves their vision so you can enjoy your iPod in a whole new way
Music lovers who are vision-impaired can now enjoy iTunes and iPod nano in an entirely new way. New VoiceOver technology — the gesture-based screen reader — reads off menus, artists, and songs. Touch the screen to hear a description of the item under your fingertip. Use the optional Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic to control your music without looking at the screen. For music lovers who are hearing-impaired, Apple's industry-standard 3.5mm headphone jack works with a wide variety of headphones and externally amplified audio speakers. And, last but not least, for music lovers who are on their way to hearing impairment if they don't start turning the volume down, you can protect the maximum volume with a password, so it cannot be changed without permission.
No matter the color, it's green

I bought the 8GB here from Vanns and once again apple has proven themselves to make a successful product. I-tunes is easy to convert cds to music mp3 files. Its my first apple product and easy to use for a beginner! Works fine with windows software. Updates itself fairly easily. You can find the update section in your itunes music playermanager. Also it can automatically sync your music or photos. The Pedometer and radio station is great! My first impressions is I love it. I have tons of room after putting about a dozen cds on it, which is over 12 hours of music! Very happy with it. Sure the price is a lot at one time, but for what you get, its worth it once you get it in. I think if you have 100s of cds and want them all on here, youll have to wait until the memory is higher, or get a 16gb. But for a very portable and easy to use touch screen device, its not such a bad price I think. Thanks for reading, and hope you get one and enjoy it too!

The graphite color on the ipod is very nice. The 6th gen ipod nanos are very portable. Though i wish they still kept the camera function.

Tiny in size, yet with an 8GB storage with amazing sound, you cannot go wrong with this iPod. It also fits perfectly on clothing on a collar or shoulder strap so you dont even notice it while working out. A great product and, it comes in pink!

This ipod nano is easy to use, stores plenty of music but doesnt have all the bells and whitstles of the other, larger ipods. The touch screen works well, and the FM radio has a nice pause function. Overall, this is a great little gizmo.

This is my first experience with iPods. I was really surprised at the size of the device - it is so easy to carry and has just enough weight to remind you its there. The sound quality is amazing. I was expecting a hollow sound much like the old Walkman devices, but this sound is full, deep and truly pleasant to listen to. Very easy to use and FM radio reception is excellent, even in my home which is out of town and typically gets only sporadic reception.
