Handy hardware volume controls; greater capacity for similar price of original model; Genius playlist support; less buggy OS; podcast episodes play one after another; Nike + iPod receiver built-in; great audio playtime.
Internal speaker tinny; screen looks a little dingy; video playtime not up to Apple’s estimates; doesn’t charge from older accessories; video out requires expensive cable.
