CNET Asia Review

By Donald Bell

Excellent

8.7

out of 10

The good: Video camera; FM radio; voice recording; Genius Mixes; built-in speaker; large 2.2-inch screen; pedometer.

The bad: Camera can't shoot photos or HD-quality video; lens in the most awkward location imaginable; capacities remain stuck at 8GB and 16GB.

The bottom line: No other MP3 player on the planet packs more features, from video to a pedometer, into a smaller package than the overachieving Apple iPod nano.

Lousy finishing tat makes it a finger prints magnet.

Oct 3, 2009

Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: Same as the last generation
Cons: Cheap looking glossy finish, bad cam placement
Opinion:
Besides the cheap looking glossy finishing tat attracts a mighty lots of fingerprints, the cam is very unergonomic to use. Forcing users to hold the unit in a cramps-inducing awkward manner that most will most probably drop the damn thing while shooting videos! The microphone is also very badly placed at the bottom!

still not the best

Sep 16, 2009

Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: a lot but...
Cons: still not the best sounding player, hello...itouch
Opinion:
Do they really think shooting video with it would excite consumers? Can't even shoot stills, duh! Several players sound better and are cheaper. Or if you're really an apple fan go for the itouch. Life is easy...
