yet.a.nano.music.player?



Sorry for the pun guys, i just can't help it. I attended the CISCO breakfast club this morning but instead of checking out CISCO's offerings I found myself testing out and playing with the iPod Nano (thanks to Grace of Microwarehouse). Contrary to my blog title, the iPod nano is definitely not your average mp3 player. I'm not really a big fan of mp3 players, as i feel that my pda can do more than this tool can offer, but the nano is a definite exception. Just think, its about as thin as a chicklet pack (if your familiar with it), stores 2GB of music, sports the same click wheel technology and get this...a colored screen!

Like always, this iPod does not disappoint when it comes to playing music (Even if I was listening to the Big Brother Theme :D ), the audio quality is definitely top notch, which I attribute to the exceptional senheiser earphones that Apple bundled it with.

The price is about the same as an iPod mini but this one looks way better and more handy.IMHO, we're definitely going to see a sharp drop in iPod mini sales because of this. Lastly, some of the iPod nanos are known to scratch easily, so unless you find battered-looking Nanos as fashionable, I suggest you get some sort of protection for it...or ask Apple to retrofit it with carbon fiber :D

On an unrelated but equally important note, an OSS awareness campaign is being sponsored by DabawGNU. I hope you guys can come.
