The New ipod Nano...

I ordered my nano the day it was announced by Apple. I got it 4 days later despite there being a weekend in between. That was quick!

Feature-wise, there's nothing to talk about if you already own any ipod. But the appearance, feel and size makes it extra-ordinarily impressive. Further, being a flash-memory based device makes it a little "different" from the earlier ipods. I said "different" and not better.

If you already own an ipod, I don't see any other reason why you would want to go for a nano once the excitement dies down, other than to present it as a gift or to use it while running or in the gym. Its small size makes it extremely efficient as a portable storage device - its as small in length and width as a business card cut into half, and probably few millimeters thicker. Appearance-wise its unbeatable; cost and feature-wise its almost the same as an ipod, without the benefit of large storage. The black nano, although the better looking, will show visible marks of your fingerprints when you hold it in your hands for a few minutes. Make sure you get the nano-tubes as well, although it would no longer render your nano black anymore!
