The Nano is excellent....the recall was because the plastic screen broke VERY easily. Not a design flaw, but a manufacturing flaw. Not Apple's fault. 1/10 of 1% of what was shipped out had this flaw. Yes, people were mad that Apple would not acknowledge there was a problem at first, but they did acknowledge the problem and recalled them. That is why there is a flurry of negativity out there about the nano right now. The recall happened last week and the dust is just starting to clear.
I have one-- it is awesome. It is the thinnest MP3 player out there. It rocks! I don't know how old you son is, but I recommend getting the thin silcone skin for it (a nominal investment maybe $15.00 on eBay) this will protect it from scratches from dropping it or having it in a pocket.
