I just returned my 4th generation Ipod Nano and switched it in for a 5th generation one. There seems to be many similarities between the two, except for the little extras Apple has added. The screen did get bigger-- many say it isn't too noticeable, but when watching videos, trust me you will notice. There is now a speaker on that back, so when the headphones are unplugged and you click play, you will hear the music or sound of the video coming out. It does sound rather tin like, but heck, pretty cool for such a tiny thing. The video camera is inconveniently placed behind the menu wheel, so I do tend to put my fingers on it quite a bit, BUT it is still a camera and for emergencies it is really great. It honestly isn't any worse than the phone videos one can shoot. For some reason you cannot take still life pictures which is rather odd... An FM radio has been installed and you can pause live streaming, which is pretty cool.... The main reason I am rating this a 5 is because let's all remember, this isn't a PSP or a Game Boy, it is an MP3 player meant to be used as a listening device. None of these features HAD to be added to make it a great MP3 player. The sound quality is wonderful through the headphones, I love the cover flow and it even displays the actual time on top, so you don't have to look for a watch. You can play your DVDs on this, by the way I recommed the WinX DVD software (free version) for that, which took me months to find. The colors are better than 4th generation, but to be honest, if you still own the 4th generation, it really isn't worth throwing yours out and upgrading in my opinion. I am really satisfied with this. I am really careful not to drop it though, because I have no idea and hope not to vouch for what happens after being dropped. **UPDATE: I forgot to mention I bought this in blue and the blue shown by amazon is NOT accurate. The 5th generation Ipod Nano in blue is a dark cobalt blue as opposed to the light one seen.
