I had a 2nd gen nano that was great. Battery lasted forever and worked a treat with my Bose Soundock speaker system. But the screen failed after 18 months (a common problem, apparently) and I replaced it with the new 4th gen version. The screen is great and the software 'bling' sounds good in reviews, but ultimately it doesn't play music any better. However, the corners of the slimline case are razor sharp and will eat trouser pockets in no time. Battery life is much shorter than my old one and to add insult to injury, the latest model will not charge from previous accessories like the Soundock (although it plays music through it ok). So, it spends most of its life in a drawer with a flat battery. Conclusion: with this model Apple has introduced features I didn't need and designed out things that made the 2nd gen the best compact mp3 player available. Would I buy another? No, I'd look elsewhere next time.
