Bad: Familiar design is now boring, scratch prone chrome back
Bottomline: It was in 2001 when the world saw the debut of a device that went on to acquire a near generic-term status for portable music players. It virtually became a crime to step out without those signature white ear buds. What we finally have is the 6th gen...
Good: Huge storage space, improved interface, fast data transfer, good battery life, value for money.
Bad: Click-wheel accuracy lower than previous models, bundled ear-phones could have been better, no major additions to the feature-list.

Good: Say so long to the scratch-prone plastic. Thinner than ever. Improved software interface. Excellent screen.
Bad: No power adapter. Previously bought games won’t sync. Time to buy a new case.
