The Apple 4-GB iPod is a vast improvement over the older versions. However, it is not without its flaws. The battery lasts up to 12 hours, which is a great lifesaver for those tired of recharging their iPod everyday. If you use slideshows or movies, the battery lasts less; about a little over half the time. The new ear buds claim to have better sound, but I found no difference and use noise-reducing headphones instead. There are also many other nifty extras that are too numerous to go into. Jumping from a 2-GB to an 4-GB was a great novelty for me, not having to delete just to add more songs. I suspect this iPod Nano will be the iPod to have for a few years at least.

I loved this mouse from the very beginning - its ability to work on almost any surface without a mouse pad is a big plus. Some of the functionality like displaying all open windows by pressing the buttons on the side of the mouse (if programmed) is easier accessible with the mouse. What I find distracting every now and then is that it's easy to press the side buttons when you do a drag&drop operation, so depending on what functions you have programmed this can be very annoying. The scroll ball seems a little too small but feels right when you get used to it. Sometimes the horizontal movements are a bit too rapid but I assume that can be adjusted with the mouse configuration. Overall a good device, I don't regret the purchase!
