First Take

As expected, Apple announced the second-generation iPod nano, and, yes, it does have a maximum capacity of 8GB. That brings it in line with the current market rate--before today, the 4GB iPod nano cost as much as the 8GB SanDisk Sansa e280--S$450 (US$301.14) (ouch). Well, here's Apple's retort, and while the new nano still doesn't play video, it is much improved in many ways, including the price, which gives you twice the gigabytes for the same price. The 2GB model will cost S$248 (US$165.96), the 4GB S$348 (US$232.88), and the 8GB S$428 (US$286.42). ...

WOW....Now this is a nano.

Oct 9, 2006

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: nice colors, metal case, no more scratches, very good battery life and sound quality
Cons: I find it too thin.
Opinion:
I bought mine a week after it's release and was very satisfied. It has all the good things that the old nano had and improved the bad things the old one had too(like the scratching thing). It's sound quality and ease of use is unmatched(for me) and you'll be WOWed by the battery life. Also, giving it a colored metal case was a huge plus!(it's like reviving the ipod mini which I LOVED). Over all it's a good product and worth every cent...

Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: Thin, light, great battery life, bright screen, strong metal case
Cons: It hung within 3 days of purchase.
Opinion:
I got the 8gb Nano. Its great. But there's bugs in the software. I don't know if its only mine or there's some problems with the software. Mine hung within 3days of purchase. The screen froze and I couldnt swtich it off or do anything else. I had to wait for the battery to run out. After recharging it, it operated but it reset itself during a song. I managed to get a replacement today and I hope it has no problems.
