The new 4th generation from Apple is awesome - once I turned it on and heard the first song it was like coming into another world. So clear and good sound that you forget you even have your headphones on.
This new generation has an accelerometer as well as the iPod Touch and iPhone which means you can rotate the iPod 90 degrees to get coverflow view on your albums. Also let's say you find a random song that is in the middle of an album you have you can easily turn on to coverflow, push the center button and browse through every song on that album.
Some says that the coverflow gets in the way for easy volume changes, and that is in one way correct, but the reason why I'm still at five stars is because it's not worth making a big deal out of it. If you have it vertically in your pocket it's no problem. Volume adjustments works immediately. If the player somehow is horizontally, it's just to reposition it, wait for 1-2 second and you can adjust volume. I won't call this a problem.
Shake to shuffle is also a really cool thing they have built in, and it works great. Note that if you are on a running trip and may be running in a steep downhill that may turn the shake-to-shuffle on unwanted you can of course turn it of in the setting menu.
Video playback is better that expected on such a small screen, and you don't need large resolution to get stunning pictures on it. Choose if the image should fit the screen or not, what TV standard (PAL or NTSC) along with other settings. TV shows are automatically presented horizontally. Be sure to have the correct encoding on the movies of TV shows if the battery should hold 4 hours. On a Mac which I use you can encode the movies by export them from Quick Time Pro. There is a preset called Movie to iPod. Then it's just to open the video in iTunes and sync the iPod. Video playlists are also automatically created.
Hope this helps who ever read it!
