Apple's first misstep in the iPod nano line-up, the sixth-generation model trades its predecessor's click wheel for touch-screen controls. But an ultracompact form factor means the display is much smaller. Plus you lose video capture and playback capability, but it retains the same price.
 

In addition, The Nike+iPod Sports Kit is a device which measures and records the distance and pace of a walk or run. The Nike+iPod consists of a small accelerometer attached to or embedded in a shoe, which communicates with either the Nike+ Sportband, a receiver plugged into an iPod Nano, or directly with a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Generation iPod Touch, iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4. If using the iPod or the iPhone 3GS, iTunes software can be used to view the walk or run history.

Apple iPod Nano

Pros:

  • physical volume controls
  • the same price as the last generation at launch (doesn't start more expensive and get cheaper as the device gets older, as is common with most consumer electronics - a great deal to buy at launch)
  • built-on clip design allows for easy access - can be pinned almost anywhere on you body, makes use during exercise possible without having to buy third party bands
  • 240 x 240px capacitive multitouch display - a first for the Nano
  • lighter and much more compact than the last generation - almost half the weight (21 vs 36g)
  • One of the only iPods that features FM radio playback
  • comes in 7 different colours
  • provides more of a focus on the Nano being a music-centric device - rather than the previous generation camera wielding version, the jack-of-all-trades Touch
  • Slick interface so that mixes bits of iOS and the previous Nano UI.
  • Full screen analog clockface + wristband = nifty watch (and it works reasonably well clipped there when listening to music)
  • Small screen doesn't really interfere with the functionality.

Cons:

  • the same capacities as the last generation devices
  • poor codec support
  • lacks the video playback capabilities of the previous generation Nano
  • questionable value next to the much more versatile iPod Touch
  • the same price throughout its life cycle (generally becomes a worse deal as the year progresses as an upgraded model will be available for the same cost to the consumer in September)
  • works with iTunes only - designed with a proprietary 'walled garden' approach in mind (the intention to sell you music and applications from a single source, limit how you use your device)
  • No additional apps or app store available (atleast as of launch)
  • the first iPod Nano with no physical playback controls
  • loses the camera of the previous generation
