I did take a look at the 2nd Gen Clix, but couldn’t really find a place to buy it that I felt comfortable with (found it at one place online?). I watched some videos of it and while the interface looked quite slick, I wasn’t too sure how I liked the whole-device-as-a-button idea.

The Nano isn’t ugly in my opinion but ergonomically it’s awkward.

One that you should definitely check out is the iRiver Clix (gen 2). Overall, it’s gotten some really good reviews and is pretty innovative from a button standpoint.

In my opinion, the nano is ugly. There’s something wrong with its proportions. I had a chance to play with it a bit at an Apple store, and it definitely doesn’t sway the opinion that I got from photos. Video capability is nice, but on a 2″ screen? I can’t even stand it on the 2.5″ of the iPod Video. Oh, and that’s not mentioning gunking up the UI – why add frivolous images in the menus and slow down the device’s speed? Leave the eye candy to the Touch or jack up the speed of the processor.

There are many players to choose from on the market.
Nano is nice for the person who only wants 250 songs, but is real small and my friends seem to lose them.
Samsung would be my choice for something other than iPod.
Now you have to find the best price for your new purchase, also you can buy used or refurbished to save some money.
Don’t forget what color you want!!

The nano is not ugly. After seeing (several) of them in person and getting to play with more than a few of them, I have to say that I think it’s diminutive size is absolutely sexy. If anything, it makes me wonder why they chose to make the 1G and 2G nanos so long and gross. Plus it’s not really barebones since it has video functionality….
