The new nano is packed with more capabilities - namely, video playback and casual gaming - than its music-only predecessor. Plus, it carries a rated battery life of 24 hours for audio, and 5 hours for video; that's about enough to get you through the first two installments of the Pirates of the Caribbean series.
