My favorite everyday product still is the iPod Nano 7G. Although released in 2012, My use case is mainly to listen to audio books (m4b) and music. Of course there are smartphones these days that also could play them well, but in my opinion nothing comes even close to the user experience of this device: - Size: This device is SMALL - Durability: Still works fine after 10 years - Battery life: Lasted for days with 220mah, after some years of course it decreases a bit - Connectivity: Works fine with bluetooth - Usability: Decent UI with remote support (4 different ones)[1], Sleep timer, etc. - Versatile: Podcasts, Audiobooks, Music, Sports and even Video (kind of limited though) Of course there are some drawbacks (no linux support, no wifi, hard to repair, proprietary connector, no FLAC, "unhackable" except [2]), but I'll take it together wi

It has Android 13, modern specs and most important support for OMTP headphone remote control (Sony A306 does not have this). But the M300 is way to clunky for my taste (4" display, pretty big device) and even more important: No android app fits my needs in terms of stability and reaction timings.

With a protecting silicon case I now (kind of) probably own the only iPod nano with replaceable battery (without taking it apart completely). This is also kind of dangerous, because the battery has no real protection except the silicone case and a
