They have ruined the ipod nano (With the 6th generation)

Thanks for sharing.

6th gen been out since Sept 2010--had mine since then--love it --some folks just like to complain

The addition of the touch screen is fantastic! It will take some getting used to, but the small form factor makes it a great excersive companion as it can just clip on your shirt. It is different but Apple is moving away from the click wheel design and into touch screens.

If you like the click wheels, check out the iPod classics. Beware though that the classic contain a spinning hard drive and are not ment for excersise as extreme motion (or drops) could damage the hard drive inside.

If you are wanting to try the touch screens, try an iPod Touch! You will love all the different apps you can put on it. Its like a mini computer!

If you like the older generation nanos, try looking for a referbished one from Apple's listing or on Amazon, Ebay, etc.

Cheers!

I have a 5th gen iPod nano as well, and I think it's great. You have to think of the 6th gen iPod nano as a completely different product line. They are SO different...

5G - Clickwheel, video playback, video camera, hold in hand to use

6G - Touchscreen, no video at all, focused on audio, clip-on (or "wristwatch")

The 6G iPod nano is a "reboot" that takes it back to its start, as a small music-centric media player (with a screen), that didn't try to do too much.

By the 5G model, the iPod "nano" was more the size of the old iPod mini. It gained features every year, until it became TOO MUCH. And the next logical step in its true evolution would have been something more like iPod touch, which just happened to gain its own camera(s) for the first time when the 5G nano departed. And iPod touch also got a price cut (at the low end) to be close to what the 5G iPod nano cost (at the high end).

So, anyone looking to replace their 5G iPod nano, when it eventually wears out, should look to the iPod touch. And the iPod nano is back to being something that should be called "nano."
