its shoter then the nano but thicker but it has fm radio and video plus it comes with the program to put the video on it which is really easy i had a nano before this and i am much happier with this the only thing i can find bad about it is that its hard to put playlists on it and the you cant go back just one screen the back button goes back to the main menu each time but you get used to that but if you want a small mp3 player that holds a pretty decent amount of songs and video this is the way to go plus you cant beat the price
