I have the black model and love it. I did have the second generation and found that it fit in my hand better and I like the paint job on the 2nd gen better. But this new one is cool as I can watch you tube vids on it and I do love the cover flow. Now that I am used to it I like it alot. The screen is so much better. I am always looking at it for the covers and the new games I play much more often. ( I have not bought any of the games on itunes yet).

I've just gotten this little gem, so I figured the next thing I will need is a protective casing/covering (I'm doubtful that a screen protector alone would serve the purpose well)

So can somebody recommend something that is of quality? (aesthetically pleasing too?)

Thanks! :)

The Invisible Shield works great, I'd always recommend that over a bulkier silicone case.

I've had it a day and my nano already has quite a few scratches on the back. I just give up, because no matter how much I look after it, it's still gonna get scratched. Annoying, but hey, what can you do.

That was exactly what I was worried about. The front seems to be much more resistant to scratches from daily use... So I bought an InvisibleShield and am just using the back sheet to protect the mirror finish. Works like a charm, I can place my nano down on any surface and not worry about scratching the back :)

For me, it has always been bad luck with headphones.

Got a nano yesterday. Was really impressed by the size.

When I came home and connected - Windows didn't recognize my device and cant find any drivers for it (iTunes was already installed). The player has no charge. I saw an apple logo and a welcome screen for a second then the player restarted itself. I have thought get back to the store but after Windows restart everything was fine.

Works really great right now. But yesterdays problem worry me a bit :rolleyes:

I just got the new Ipod nano 8gig and think its great . . although I run Ubuntu and I am unable to get the artwork to transfer over and I had to install a newer libgpod3 package rather than libgpod2 . .. . . but once all was set it works great.

Personally I think the 4th Gen Nano is / was the best nano they ever made. Then they had to go **** it up with the 5th gen.

The clip makes it look so cheap. :/ But I agree the previous generation looked amazing. Too bad it didn't came in 32 GB, that would have been perfect for me! :)

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
