The odd shape isn't as comfortable to hold as previous and current versions. I would say the only ‘bad’ point about the 3rd gen nano could be the size.

That and the size are the biggest differences. You have to ask yourself if you want the video playback feature. James:

I noticed you have John Butler Trio on the Nano. They are one of my favourites too - awesome band from Western Australia. I'm curious how you heard about them over in the US.

I tried out the video on the fatty and I have to say they are really tiny. It must be my age (approaching 40). As far as aesthetics goes, I like the old Nano much better. Julie was right: the wheel on the new nano is not as comfortable as the previous-generation one. As for the size of the memory: even 8GB is not enough to store both music and video, so I don't see the point of the fatty as far as video goes. So, the Nano is a NoNo to me. I like the new 180GB classic much better, but I am currently broke and my good old 4G 30GB iPod is still working fine, so there is no point of buying now. Thank you for your review, Julie.

It's existing video-out devices that won't work. Boom boxes should work fine with the new devices (if the new devices includes iPhones…). It’s existing video-out devices that won’t work.

Particularly interested in the Harman Kardon Go+Play which is now down to $250 at Costco. I see that you recently reviewed the iM600. It would be helpful to know which ones work with the new models as some have video out. I’d be interested in a review on iPod boomboxes.

While not primarily to watch video, it is valuable to have video to watch a favorite show or just have video as an alternative to the music and audio content. A nice addition I think. And with external video, the image could be on a large screen. - Joe Nice review and helpful to have it out so quickly after the review of the classic.
