The New Ipod Nano

Be careful. Thin gadgets are more flimsy than you think. Making the Ipod skinny is definitely the right way to go. Why not just go as thin as credit cards ? I think Apple is tuning in right now and listening to me. Great job to Steve and the gang.
The special Hogwarts crest idea is simply a striking idea for Harry Potter fans to show off their Nano instead of books.
It’s thinner than a no. 2 pencil and weighs 1.5 ounces. But it’s also got a color screen for displaying photos. It uses the same 30-pin connector as my old iPod, which means it works with the absurd collection of accessories that seem to be breeding inside my bottom right desk drawer. There are some new add-ons, of course: A lanyard with integrated headphones, and Nano “tube” cases. The Nano comes in 2GB ($199) and 4GB ($249) capacity. The only question now is whether to choose black or white?
On the content side, the complete collection of Harry Potter audiobooks (all 99 hours and 11 minutes worth) are going to be available exclusively via iTunes. There is even a special Hogwarts crest you can get etched on the back of a 20GB model.
