iPod nano now has a built-in video camera that lets you spontaneously shoot video wherever you are. And that’s just the beginning. It has a dramatic, polished anodized aluminum finish and a larger screen. The new Genius Mixes feature acts as your personal DJ, automatically searching your iTunes library, then making mixes you’ll love. Take iPod nano anywhere and the new Pedometer counts your steps. Also making its debut: a built-in FM radio with two amazing features–iTunes Tagging and Live Pause. So the world’s most popular music player now has more to play with.
It looks beautiful, but my son dropped his when getting out of the car on the way home from the store. 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.

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…………….

This generation of the ipod has even less battery life than the 4th generation. 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.
My 2nd Generation ipod last 24 hours with full brightness and a 10 second backlight! I’ve had it for almost 4 years, too!
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.
But, the radio feature, while not having the best sound, is GREAT! The tagging of your favorite songs is even better.
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?
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.
I, unfortunately, will never be buying an Apple ipod again =(

I got a red ipod nano 16gb directly from apple, it looks really nice, and feels nice too. The speakers were a great add. The youtube videos I downloaded viewed on the screen were nice quality.
(My last ipod was a 1st gen)
The videos you take are downloaded as “.mp4″ (can’t upload onto amazon, but you can upload onto youtube) I thought that you would be able to get the videos out using itunes, but I was mistaken.
The games on it, solitaire, a maze game, and a vortex game.
You can add and delete things from the main menu, which I found convenient. The video quality was okay, and same with the speakers.
All in all, the product is very nice.
I would have probably given the ipod nano 5th gen 5 stars if:
1. The camera was placed in a much more convenient spot.
2. Along with being able to take a video, being able to take a photo.
