iPod Nano 4GB A1236

Brand new, still sealed in original casing.

Cover Flow, first seen on iTunes and the iPhone, allows you to flick through your collection of music as if you're in a record store. Although we're still not sold on whether it's a more effective way of searching for music it looks great, but only if a majority of your music has cover art attached, otherwise you'll be flicking through layer upon layer of blank albums covers.

2007's iPods debut a preview pane which splits the screen in half, with the traditional iPod menu on the left and a panning preview of your assortment of album art, video stills or photos on the right; it looks swish and we spent much of our time picking jaws up off the ground. There's currently no option to turn it off but that's of little consequence on the nano because, unlike the Classic, there are no hard-disk lag issues to deal with.
