ipod nano announced
Overnight in the states, Apple has announced a few new things. The RCKR iTunes music phone (nobody cares about that one), iTunes 5 (at least a few people care about that) and the ipod nano (which everyone cares about.) Basically it's replacing the ipod mini and it's teeny tiny, has a colour screen, flash based storage, uses the same connectors as the standard ipod (which means most accessories should work for it) and comes in capacities of 2 & 4gb. And glory be, it also comes in black. Thankyou apple.
14 hour battery life and a click wheel. Does most of the stuff that the ipod photo (or just ipod colour as they're called now) does in a teeny tiny package. One thing that all the other mp3 players are doing and I wish apple would add is a radio. I know its all like the future and stuff, but goddamn it, sometimes espescially on a limited capacity player you get sick of the music and want to listen to something different.
It looks pretty damn tiny, and I think as if anything they released wasn't going to sell its arse off, anyway, but this looks like its going to be a massive hit. Most of the nerd websites are crowing about how cool this is, and that's because it kinda is cool.
