I love my 8gbiPod nano.- I use it when I am doing the garden, it's so light weight that you don't even know it's there. After you master the computer bit it's all very simple, I must admit though I did need to get my son to help me when I first got it. But now I have iTunes installed there is no stopping me. I went for the 8gb version because I could double the amount of music I wanted to put on it, I had about 60 albums that I really liked (which probably would have fitted on a 4gb one) but I knew I would want to add more in the future, so just in case I opted for the bigger one.

This is my second iPod, I had a little shuffle before that only held about 125 songs and I just wanted it to hold more songs. It's just as light and easy to use as the shuffle and it's a bonus that I can now scroll through my music (on the shuffle you cannot actually choose your music it just randomly chooses songs for you) to be honest though I still just turn it on and let it "shuffle" my songs. As I said I just need more space and 8gb will keep me happy for years to come. It is not that much more heavier than the old shuffle, so the size makes no difference to me.

We measured it at just 80 cents thick—that's 3 quarters and a nickel, or 0.27 inches for you traditionalists by 5 dimes long (3.5 inches) by 2 pennies wide (1.6 inches).....read more
