Here’s a sampling of the iPod nano’s video quality. The 5th gen iPod can now play video and we’re wondering why this was the stark limitations given to such a powerful device. According to a friend, it may seem that today’s generation is a YouTube generation and photos may seem to be a thing of the past. Taking photos was reserved for camera phones while videos, in their relevant complexity is saved for more interesting devices such as the Flip … or the new iPod nano.

The new iPod nano’s video camera is honestly a bit oddly placed, but oh well. It’s still an Apple. And we know it’s going to sell.

Due to popular demand, I’ve posted a more detailed show off starring the Navi key of the Nokia N72. Some of the minute differences include:

(1) switching of the Bluetooth and memory card slots, (2) the location of the 3.5mm head phone jack was moved to the top of the device, with the new power button prominently placed on the center. There are also (2) new shortcut keys in the QWERTY thumb pad for the flashlight (we’ve seen this in the E63), instand on Bluetooth and silent mode. A convenient and well thought of addition. Looks like the speaker was also (3) moved behind, beside the camera.

Today I attended the launch of Nokia Connect 2009 — presented here is the video demo of the E72 where we talk about the new features, the scrolling user interface, the aesthetics, and of course, the comparison with the predecessor, Nokia E71.

Overall, the E72 is a welcome upgrade from the previous year. The E71 was already a kick ass device when it was launched, and it still is to this very day. The most tempting features that may force you to get the E72 would be the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack, which made debut with the E63 and the HTML email downloads, allowing you to receive more colorful and formatted email

I was able to review the unit and compare it side by side the Nokia E71. Take a look and decide for yourself, but I’d honestly suggest to wait for it!

Behind the Scenes:

In one of the biggest squares in Lisbon, Portugal we have the making of the world’s first human snake video. This is a tribute to the world’s most iconic mobile game – Snake. If you’ve ever owned a Nokia in the past 15 years, you know what we mean. This video took in 1,000 extras to make the cut.

You can view the high quality version of the video here which also puts in a bit of a surprise in the middle of the vid

I’m predicting another series of Internet memes based on this project – great job, Nokia!

Definitely a good view. Happy weekend!
