CNET Review

The Good: The third-generation iPod Nano offers crisp, bright video playback, an exceptionally thin all-metal body, above-average battery life, built-in games, and an advanced user interface.

Review Summary: It's a triumph of design, but wipe the drool off your chin and have a careful think about what you really want. Of everything here, this'd make the best gift for someone else, but possibly not yourself
