The iPod Nano

I've seen/held the new Nano this week for the first time.



It really is that small, that gorgeous and that cool. It is not possible to overstate how cool or how fast this will fly off the shelves. I still don't like the wheel on the front because it's still weird to try and manipulate it with one hand... I still prefer the Rio in that respect. But Apple has a home run on this one. More than a home run, a grand slam. Actually, it's like some kind of freaky grand slam that some how results in a 99 yard reception for a touchdown + a hat trick. I'd love to invest, but I feel like it's probably already so highly valued already. Note: this blog post may be used to say I told you so in three years when the stock has tripled.

Comments:
I thought for sure I would buy one but I too held one this week and I was totally underwhelmed. For me it reminded me of this terrible, plastic remote control I have. For the money it seems like you are getting a piece of plastic. It reminds me of HP and how they add metal to the back of their calculators to make them heavier and thus more substantial.
