Briefly: More Nano goodness


  • Review: iPod nano – Apple’s thinnest and, quite possibly, coolest iPod yet (a 4.5/5 rating; particularly impressed with the speed Nano moves from screen to screen, something that we’ve read in other reviews too; also mentions an advantage of the headphone-port-in-the-bottom placement that makes sense: ”[...] if you carry the iPod in your pocket. When you lift it out of that pocket it’s oriented so you don’t need to flip it around to adjust its controls.”)

  • iPod nano Special Report: things you may want to know (good wrap-up, though we’ve already covered most of the things mentioned here; also, 1-month delay for the lanyard accessory)

  • Apple iPod Nano Seen In Holiday Showdown With Xbox 360 (Credit Suisse First Boston: new iPods “will bolster Apple’s momentum into the critical holiday season”; also notes that the Nano’s system-on-chip controller is PortalPlayer’s first flash-based win at Apple, considering that the Shuffle uses SigmaTel chips—this is a critical observation) [via]

  • Dear Macworld UK editors, please tell me you’re joking (a whole article about how “Apple’s new iPod nano has won a rave review from Wall Street Journal technology writer, Walt Mossberg.”; look we’ve mentioned it in one of ‘briefly’ posts too for completeness-of-coverage sake, but everyone knows that Mossberg could review an Apple-made brick and still rave about it)
