User from amazon says: Pros + Small size - so thin!!!! + Nice design - shorter, fatter form factor for more reliability + Brushed aluminum front seems more durable than plastic composite of 2nd generation nano + Many color options - Silver, blue, green, black, etc...Almost no MP3 players are actually designed for audiophiles / musicians / sound engineers; i.e., the people who could tell the difference between good sound and great sound...Competitors Pros and Cons Apple's devices are obviously more expensive than other players on a per gigabyte $ cost...see more

User from circuitcity says: No equalizer (not really necessary, since the sound is good), fingerprint and dust magnet, in the beginning the software was confusing (you get the hang of it eventually), not a lot of accessories come with it...Coming from an iPod owner for the last two years, I know the pros and cons of both...The iPod is a good mp3 player, don't getme wrong, but if you want most for your money for something just as good, if not better than the iPod, you should really look into buying a Zune...see more
