Steve Jobs has gone and done it again… giving me a longing feeling that I belong, a sense of warmth and acceptance. what am I referring to? the new “iPod nano”, the newest recruit in apple’s mp3 arsenal. I’m amazed that microsoft haven’t attempted to glean a corner of this market - they’re getting a right royal spanking.

official specs below:

• Holds up to 1,000 songs and full-color album art
• Only 3.5 x 1.6 x 0.27 inches and 1.5 ounces
• Bright 1.5-inch color LCD display
• Up to 14 hours of battery life(1)
• Apple Click Wheel
• Charges and syncs via USB
• Accessory-compatible Dock connector
• Completely skip-free playback
• Works with Mac OS X or Windows 2000/XP
• Plays music, podcasts and audiobooks
• Holds up to 25,000 photos(2)
• Syncs contacts, calendars and to-do lists

I already own an iPod mini, which I have to say, I’m not that impressed with. I have the first generation mini, 4GB, 1,000 songs, 8 hour battery life… not that impressive. shortly after the release of the 4GB model, they decide to release their second generation - 6GB, 18 hours battery life blah etcetera. so you can imagine I was pissed off. and apparently this new iPod nano is replacing the mini… come on Steve, stop fucking around.

anyway, enough of the rambling…

iPod nano. gorgeous. as thin as a #2 pencil, color screen - it is utterly splendid. and the cool thing, it comes in black also - good, something to match my PSP. you can take a look at apple’s official site to check out more pictures and information.

great, something else for the thugs to rob you of on the F train [rolls eyes]
