Compare Prices : Apple iPod nano (1GB, White)

Review summary: The Nano doesn't do video - even if it could, the screen's too small for it to be watchable

Pros: Good battery life ; Simplicity to use

Review summary: The baby iPod is style over substance incarnate. That's not necessarily as bad as it sounds: to a lot of people, what their player looks like is genuinely important, as is feeling like they've got something that seems worth the money they spent on it

Pros: Great looks, Good storage

Cons: Low on features, No drag and drop

Verdict: It's still a strong contender, but lack of features count against it
