Wow, I'm glad I purchased a Nano not too long ago. The salesman pointed out I could get a Video iPod with 10x the memory at the same price ... but I told him my primary cocern for a portable device is its miniscule size.
The old Nano is perfect for that. The new Nano (which means the old one won't be available before long) is not. Kinda defeats the purpose of the name. Oh, it's still small. But not nearly as small as the original Nano.
MUSIC is something you can experience on-the-go. Video not so much.
I understand people want video on the go (perfect for an airplane trip, among other things) ... but I have little need for it. I'll be sad to see the original Nano go. It was a brilliant piece of tiny engineering.
On the other hand, I'm always forgetting either my cell phone or my iPod, and I'd love to have them be in one device. I'd be tempted to buy an iPhone if my cell and iPod weren't both practically brand new.
Personally, I think the iPhone is too big for a portable device. (Will it fit comfortably in a pocket? That's my criteria). Maybe the next generation will be smaller.
