| 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 with the benefits. I desperately tried to replace it with other (Android) devices, such as: - Unihertz Jelly 2 - Fiio M6 - HiBy M300 but they are all to bulky, slow, miss important features or just feel bad to me.
