Product has seriously broken software. The sort order for podcasts has always been somewhat broken but within a week after a 'fix' was announced for iPod Touch and iPhone a software update to the iPod nano made this product effectively useless. It has never been able to handle podcasts that have multiple segments for a 'release date'. The work around was to sort alphabetically by name but since the fix it sorts alpha chinese style from right to left instead of left to right. Manual sorts in the playlist do not work since the iPod nano doesn't play in the same order as displayed in iTunes. The problem has been demonstrated to Apple store geniuses and I am told that I am told 'a lot of people are experiencing this' but there seems to be no mechanism for sales to report a problem to engineering
Additionally, another 'feature' makes the device unable to be used for both music AND podcasts: you MUST have shuffle turned on to play music or you always play from the beginning of the list and you will get very tired of the first few tunes on the device, but you must have shuffle turned off for podcasts or you the podcasts will not be removed from the playlist after being played and you will listen to the same podcasts until you are sick of them. Trying to switch the shuffle on and off as you go from music to podcast doesn't work because that resets the not so random number and it always plays again in the exact same order as before.Get more detail about Apple iPod nano 16 GB Pink (5th Generation) NEWEST MODEL.
