Re-Nanoed

Pet Peeve of the Day: Technology marching forward. Apple is set to announce its new lineup of iPods this Tuesday Sept 9th during it’s “Let’s Rock” event in San Francisco. Pictures of the new 4th generation iPod nano have leaked out (here’s one). It’s odd to me that they’re basically going back to the 1G/2G nano design, where the iPod is long and narrow. However, the screen does appear to be bigger and it looks like video viewing will be accomplished with the nano in a sidewise orientation.
I guess this means that Apple considers the 3rd generation nano I bought last year to be something of a bust. I like it’s short, squat almost-square design, but maybe it didn’t catch on as much as they’d hoped. And come to think of it, those new 4G ones look like they’d work better for jogging, which is what I use my nano for. And the 3G ones have such a low form factor that they’re easy to lose and almost feel too insubstantial. Bwahhhh! I want a new nano! I bet the new ones will have like 250GB of memory too. Curse you, Apple!
Latre.

Are you arguing for socialized iPod distribution? Because, from what I hear, every country which has tried that is freakin’ awesome!

Time to revisti the iPod Flea! http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2005/ipod-flea-p1.php
I was shocked to learn that the iPod Tick was a power accessory, not a miniature iPod that burrows into your head to blast music directly into your brain. That’s what I’m waiting for!
