My primary use for players is audio books–OverDrive, Ingram, rips etc. The Nano can’t be beaten for them BUT I have music
on it too. My only real objection is its size though very thin it is not exactly pocket size so I always grab a clip for portability.
The ipod has always scratched at the drop of a fingernail so it needs a case for protection. I use a clear one that I found
on sale for $4 as opposed to $30 for others.
The nano 6th gen is much more portable and has a clip on the back. It’s closer in general design to the clip+ than the touch, of course, and, to me, a more fair comparison than comparing it to the touch.
When I accidentally broke my clip+ – duh! – a few months ago, I considered getting the nano 6th gen. I liked the overall design, the 24 hour battery life and that it’s made of metal. Plus there’s the accessories, like the wrist band, and being able to wear it like a watch is cool and versatile.
In the end, the excellent design of the clip+, the expandable storage, the better sound quality, and the price could not be beat and I wound up getting another clip+ and haven’t regretted my choice.
The price on the 6th-gen Nano was enough for me to immediately say “Never!” lol. If it was priced like a Sansa, I might have been curious…but it’s not.
Kind of depends where you shop. In my neck of the woods, 6th Gen Nanos are pretty darn cheap…
For me, no matter what the price, I wouldn’t give up my 5th Gen Nanos…a far superior unit in every way over the 6th gen models.
