Hands on with iPod nano

iPod nano

Yesterday, when I was at the Apple Store I got to play around with the new iPod nano. I had seen all the pictures, read all the reviews, but was totally unprepared for just how cool the thing really is. Apple’s uses the catch phrase, “Impossibly small”, and believe me… it is! I didn’t get the true meaning of that until I actually held one in my hand. It’s tiny, it’s light, the display is crystal clear, and it is super cool. Way cooler than I thought it was going to be.

Fortunately for me, the store didn’t have any to buy, because I probably would have… even though I really have no use for one. For me, the biggest advantage of an iPod is being able to carry ALL of your music. I hate having to decide what music I want to bring before I go somewhere.

You should definitely check one out for yourself, but be prepared, you may end up buying one, whether you planned to or not.

  2. i saw one up close yesterday in glasgow, but it had like 5 alarms on it, so touching it would of been a tricky task. But OMG, i still cant get over the fact of how small it is…no photograph does it justice!
