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

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
