Questions for ipod nano 5g owners

+Please can anybody convince me to get a 5g 16 gigs nano? I'm a bit scared to go for this new buy and sell my old 3g nano.+
Would really appreciate if u guys can give me a feedback on these few questions. I don't intend to use the camera much at all and I don't want to play videos on it...still im a bit concerned about the battery.
1) How is the battery quality? Experiencing any troubles?
I do own a 3g ipod nano and the battery rocks, I can listen to some music for about 2 hours per day and go like that for a week or so. 4g ipod nano was a real lemon if compared to the 3g...wondering if the 5g is as good as the 3g or not.
2) What about the flashy colours that have been used? Are they looking good? I honeslty really liked the satinated aluminium and the soft colouring of the 4g better.
3) The clicking wheel is that rather thick? I do remember that the 4g nano had an incredible light clicking wheel when i was touching it it felt like it could broke if really pressed hard. 3g has not that issue, it feels very sturdy and compact.
4) I also noticed that in many pic sonline there is a sort of a gap between the clicking wheel of the 5g and the cover of the ipod itself. Is that something that all the owners of the 5g have or there are only some bad manifactured ones out there?

1. I haven't been able to test the battery power extensively due to the fact that I've been playing around with transferring videos from my iPod to my PC, and I just installed a hookup in my car so I could listen to it in there, and this hookup also charges the battery... BUT I did play Sudoku on it the other day while I was waiting for a pizza to cook. The timer had me clocked at 14 minutes after it was all said and done (I thought I was pausing it but it kept counting the time, and the screen never went idle). After I finished, I looked at the battery power and it had barely gone down at all, maybe a slight smidgen at most. With my 4th Gen, I could play a game of Sudoku for about 8-9 minutes and that could drain a full battery anywhere from a quarter to halfway down, so in comparison, 5th gen battery life is MUCH better then 4th gen, though I suspect I may have had a faulty battery in the old one...
2. Personally, I love the new colors and casing on the new nano's. Very shiny.
3. I played around with my 3rd, 4th and 5th gen to see what you ment about the click wheel. The 3rd gen is thicker, but with the 4th and 5th gen, you are dealing with a slimmer nano, so Apple most likely slimmed down the click wheel to compensate for room. My 4th gen held up well, I don't see why the 5th gen would be much different.
4. I think any gaps you may have seen from pics might have been a trick of light and shadow. All Nanos have extremely tiny spaces between the click wheel and the casing if you look close enough. For the 5th gen, I think it might be the aluminum finish, and that the click wheel is raised ever so slightly on each side, that makes the gap on that nano seem larger then it really is.
I hope this helps, but of course, this is only my version, I'm sure others will put there two cents in too.

    I get a message "The Itunes server could not be contacted, check your internet connection" when trying to check for Ipod Nano software updates. I have a 1st generation Nano and haven't updated the software for a while. My internet connection is working. Was thre a change in the internet address for NANO software updates? Do I have to reconfigure something in Itunes to point to the correct address?

    What version of iTunes are you using?  The latest is 10.6.3. In iTunes, choose Help -> About iTunes to check the version number. If it's lower than 10.6.3, download the latest version from here.

    Hi
    I have a iPod Nano 5th generation with the click wheel and no touch. When I search iTunes fro Apps & Games, I find only for iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone. How do I search only for iPod Nano 5th generation click wheel games

    Mouse over App Store. You'll see a arrow pointing down. Click it and on bottom of list is iPod click wheel games. Click it and your there...
    Too Bad we still have to pay so much for these old games. I think Apple should just release them as freeware...

    What is the screen lock default code for iPod nano 5th gen?

    There isn't one.  You'll need to connect the Nano to your iTunes library and restore to factory settings.  There is no other way.

  • Reinstall software for iPod Nano

    I have recently bought a new PC and would like to install the latest version of softwares including iTune and iPod in my PC.
    However, I can only found iTune on Apple wesbite but not for iPod Nano. Does anybody know where are they?

    with the new iTunes 7.0.x versions, there is no longer a separate "standalone" iPod Updater application. updates and restores are carried out using iTunes 7.0.x itself.
    have you been having any trouble with the iTunes 7.0.x installs?

  • How do I find games for ipod nano 3rd generation

    I cannot find games for iPod nano in iTunes even though all the support keeps telling me to select iPod nano from the Source list. There is no source list, no games tab, nothing that leads me to the iPod nano games. When I click on apps, and just go to a game, they are all just for iphones, ipads or ipod touches. This is frustrating. Any help would be appreciated!

    I believe that a few really low quality iPod games were distributed as freeware a long time ago, however you're much more likely to find malware infested web sites than any genuine source if you go hunting for them, and you'll still be disapointed with what you find. If you want games get an iPod touch.

  • When the new Nike Sport Armband for iPod nano (5th generation) ?

    When the new Nike Sport Armband for iPod nano (5th generation) ?
    Is the Nike Sport Armband for iPod nano (4th generation)same to use??
    Is Nike Sport Armband or Incase Sports Armband good to use?
    Message was edited by: terry9891

    Not sure about the Nike, but do NOT buy the InCase armband. This product is HORRIBLE for at least 3 reasons. I am tall and of normal build. Tried to wear it while working out (have worn other iPods and MP3 players in armbands/cases while working out with no problems at all).
    1) The strap is barely long enough to fit over my biceps (which is normal sized). The strap is not flexible, so it's loose when your arm is extended, tight when your arm is flexed. When doing a normal arm exercise (not even a biceps exercise), with a normal amount of weight, the very first time I tried to wear this, it popped right off my arm (literally).
    2) This generation Nano is longer than previous ones. The case is even longer (longer than necessary). It barely even fit on my arm, length-wise, between my elbow and my shoulder (and my arms are somewhat longer than average). Also, it was so long that I had to try to wear it in only one position, otherwise I couldn't really even bend my arm (during the 1 minute it stayed on my arm to begin with).
    3) The case has a thin opening at one end but none at the other, and is difficult to get in and out. Thus you can either have access to the earphone plug or the "lock" button, but not both. I actually "solved" this by creating a small hole in the bottom that allowed me to stick the earphone plug through it, allowing me access (sort of) to both ends. (Unfortunately, did this before testing the product out and can't return it now, if I could have to begin with.)
    Do NOT buy this product. I wish I hadn't.
