    Was it purchased at an Apple Store? If so, you might be able to exchange it. But if it was purchased somewhere else, like a Best Buy, they probably wouldn't be able to take it in for exchange (they can normally tell by the serial number).

    At worst, if it is unopened, you should be able to sell it for close to the retail price and get a 30GB video iPod.

    Note that updates are expected very soon (like, September) for the iPod Nano and the full-size iPod, so even if you return or sell your iPod Nano, it might not be a bad idea to wait a little bit to see what comes out (there might even be announcements at tomorrow's event).

    I'm sorry but I think iPods are overrated. Yes, I learned the hard way (I have one).
