iPod nano 
6
After loads of rumours and speculation about a video iPod, Apple have released a new version of their ubiquitous MP3 player: the iPod nano.
It’s as thin as a pencil, weighs a mere 42 grammes, boasts 14 hours of battery life and with enough space to store a thousand songs or 25 thousand photos, it’s a nice piece of kit. It’s a very nice piece of kit and I’d quite like one. Please?
I like my stuff to be as small as possible and the only reason why I went for a standard iPod over the iPod mini when I bought mine was the difference in price-to-capacity ratio between the two: the iPod mini worked out at ~34GBP per gigabyte whereas the standard iPod (when I bought it) was 11GBP per gigabyte. I know the iPod nano works out at ~45GBP per gigabyte, but the sheer tinyness of it wins it major points in my mind; plus it has nearly twice as much battery life as mine and has a colour screen, too. I couldn’t have been without mine these nine or so months since I bought it but I really like the new one. I may just sell mine and buy one.
Apple also released the so-called iTunes phone [note: the link is currently unavailable], officially known as the Motorola ROKR E1. Whilst I like my gadgetry to be small, I also like each unit to be separate, i.e. a phone is a phone and an MP3 player is an MP3 player.
They’ve also updated the excellent iTunes, too.
Oooh! I like the iPod Nano, I want a iPod for my birthday, my sister Lou’s friend Vicky has one and I liked hers!
She told me lots about hers too. - Katie Fraser
I want. NOW! :) - Luke
This new iPod looks cool.
But my music collection exceeds 4GB, it’s actually nearing 8GB now! - gamesfreak (Daniel Harper)
Yeah, but do you really need to carry *all* your music around with you?
Mine library is just under 19GB but I’ve only got about 12GB of it on my iPod. - Timmargh
I’m thinking of getting one, even though my mini is only a few months old… - LobsterMan
When I see the nano I can’t help but wonder, “if we can do this for carrying music, then why can’t we come up with smaller medical devices?” For example, my TENS unit is way to large (clipping it to my clothes often results in pulling my pants down, hilarious but not helpful) and heavy.
The nano does look cool though :) - gimpy mumpy
