Small size, space for 1000 songs, long battery life!

I owned a 1st generation iPod Nano, and it was great! Stores 4 gigs, which is enough for about 1000 songs or so. Small, thin, and doesn't seem to be damaged easily. I kept it in a leather case - which caused the sensor (for circular scrolling) to be weaker and less sensitive. However, it still was able to sense. The backlight is bright enough for the outdoors. ---- Now this second generation (which I got as a gift) still has 4 gigs, but comes with a longer battery. The 24 hour batter (as compared to the older 14 hours) is a must-have if you plan to use it for more than a day w/o charging. It doesn't exactly last 24 hours, since doing anything such as choosing a new song, or changing the volume, will cut down the power a lot. The main power-consumer is the backlight (which is now 40% brighter.) You can, however, turn off the backlight by going to the settings; you can still see everything semi-clearly if there is a bright light source (indoors is sufficient) that can reflect off the back of the LCD.
Overall, great deal. For $200 at stores, or less on eBay, it is worth the money. Slim and small size, large capacity, long battery life.
