The screen layout is very clever, actually. Remember, in the 1.8" version, the screen is taller than wider, but when viewing the menus, you view them normal way up, so you don't have to position your player at strange angles to change the settings, etc. Its only when playing a video, that the screen will automatically change the video aspect so that the video plays sideways. This takes advantage of the taller than wider aspect of the screen, and makes widescreen movies especially good to watch on this player.
I don't have it with me to check, but its either 9.0.48 or 9.0.49. And it depends really on your order, because they could upgrade the firmware
by the time you receive yours. I like the new firmware, btw! First, it has the Telephone book missing from my earlier 1st gen Nano clones. Plus it had more games than my other chipods. Second, it has an option to change the menu style. Instead of showing all functions on one screen, you can have a different menu where you only scroll through one function at a time, and that takes up the whole screen. Really nice, no need to mod your firmware, its pre-modded!
