i pod nano 2 or 4gb What are they like ??

Just pricing up an IPOD Nano for my sons birthday - just really asking you all out there what you think of them - I've heard the batteries sometimes lose their charge fast;are they really that good picture and sound quality-wise.Any advice gratefully received. I think for the extra 30 quid or so,I'd be better off getting an extra 500 or so song capacity 4gb version,rather than the 2gb.What do yous reckon ???

I have the 4gb model. The sound and picture quality is as good as they say, so far I have had no problems with the battery. I did upgrade from a Ipod Mini, which I also had no problems with (even though it had bad press).

I would defo recommend anyone to buy an apple nano.

Hope this helps.

About 4 hours average battery life - this model is best for someone young I would say out of the ipod range as they tend to have less music and need less storage. I woould advise you buy a case to go with it though they scratch easy. Depending on how much music he has depends on size personally I would buy 4gb but I am in my twenties and own a good 4000 music tracks on my computer alone - so Id need more really but with the 4 gb you would change the track listing a lot less. I would assess the amount of music he has for the size no point buying a 4gb when he cant fill it. But money wise you do get better value for the 4gb, twice the space for 40 quid.
