Apple's 8GB iPod nano (Blue) is just as much video camera as it is personal music library, FM radio, and fitness coach! The nano lets you record up to 8 hours of Internet ready 640 x 480 VGA video. It also gives you the option to choose from 15 different special effects to make every video truly unique. Once you've captured the moment share it with everyone through email, YouTube, MobileMe, Facebook or other social networking sites.
The 5th generation has a few design changes as well, including an expanded 2.2 inch LCD screen and a polished anodized aluminum finish. And, when it comes to storage the 5G can hold up to 2,000 songs or up to 7,000 photos. The nano still rocks the Genius Playlist feature, and now Genius Mixes as well. When synced with iTunes the player can create up to 12 different mixes based on your music.
When you feel like taking a break from your music, the nano has a built-in FM tuner. Apple went a step beyond radio by also giving the tuner iTunes tagging and Live Pause. In addition, the VoiceOver feature tells you the title and artist of the songs you're listening to. You can also use Voice Memo to save notes to self or any other audio you want to record.
To help you reach your fitness goals, the nano now has a built-in pedometer for counting your steps. And, when paired with the Nike + iPod Sport Kit (available separately) you can use the nano to keep track of your runs or gym workouts too.

It's very easy to use it, its weight is very light, I love its color. I enjoyed listening my music on my new ipod nano. Just 2 questions about the video camera: how can I erase my films? And how can I watch them on my computer?

Despite what you read, the average mp3 is about 5 mg. This will give you about 1500 mp3's in an 8 gig nano. Video will use up a lot more. Spring for the extra 8 to go to 16. Apple software isn't great but it suffices. You can get a cheaper mp3 that you can drag and drop songs into it very easily in Windows Explorer without having to run any synching software. The Nano is a very slick looking, compact product that is easy to use and sounds excellent.

The new FM radio feature is very nifty and a nice addition to this already great product from Apple. I don't know how they pack so much stuff in such a small package, mp4 player, video recorder, movie player, and now FM radio....these guys are aliens I tell ya!
