Some better news: the iPod nano

So, I bought an iPod nano today. After looking at it for all of like, 2 minutes on Apple's website. I have long been thinking about buying an iPod Mini, but I kindof wanted a color screen. Whelp, the nano has that, and a whole lot less -- less in terms of size, that is.

I didn't realize how small it is, however, until I watched Steve Job's speech after work. To show the world the nano for the first time, herr Jobs pulled the nano from the pocket of his ever-present blue jeans. Not impressed? He didn't pull it from a regular front pocket, but from that little itty-bitty-totall-useless front pocket above the normal pocket, that all jeans have, but no one ever uses.

Woah!

Go ahead and fast-foward to like minute 42 of the stream to see it for your yourself. It's great.

It is amazing how Apple keeps getting better with the iPod. It seems like each new iteration literally blows the old version away. It is amazing how they keep topping themselves, and understandable that the competition cannot keep up. I hope that the nano lives up to the iPod tradition, but it is an iPod, so I'm sure that it will. :)

Expect more here when I get mine.
