Compare Prices : Apple iPod nano (4GB, 3rd Generation, Silver)

Review summary: The fourth-generation iPod nano is easy on the eyes and the wallet, and you can't beat its hardware and user interface design. Just be sure to give iTunes 8 a spin before committing.

Cons: Upgrade to Apple's iTunes 8 software with its laundry list of hardware requirements a must ; the rounded screen invites glare ; sound quality is only average

Pros: Apple's highest-capacity mid-range flash player to date, with an outstanding array of nine color options that for the first time are available at a $149 base price rather than as a premium option. Preserves most of the features of last year's flat A ...
