The original Nano looked so much nicer, and you can't get a true white nano anymore, not impressed by that. As for the 8GB space, I like that... not going to buy one though, sticking with what I have. And this is even thinner than the original, it'll snap like a twig if they make it any thinnner!
Aswell, however, I much prefer the aluminum casing.. I have a green 6gb mini that I absolutely LOVE, and plan on getting a Nano or an aluminum shuffle now that its AL aswell..
Better colors for the nano is a plus, aswell... The clammed up video/nano is very prone to problems... my bro had quite a few til he got one that was prefect...
all I can say is YAYYY!!! :respect:
tempting tempting...would be my first apple ware...

I would most definatly reccomend a case-- especially a nice iskin though. worth the $$ to protect it.
Also dont buy those plastic stick on "screen protectors" I got some bubbles in it as had as I tried not to, than when I took it off it left a film on that was imposable to 100% remove, and scrached up my screen fairly bad using a lcd cleaning cloth to clean/remove it :S.
However, I strongly suggest an iskin.

Best cases for the $$. PERIOD. Use a few compared to cheapas cases, and you'll understand why. Very very quickly.
i agree that the 1g nano looked MUCH better. i can't stand the fruity colors and weird rounded edges of the mini or the new nano. grah. i guess i'm more of the industrial design type.
btw, i heard you can use cd cleaning solution (the scratch removing stuff) to get the scratches out. supposted to work like a charm on all but the deepest scratches.
I used mp3 doctor its seposed to patch scratches, but dident work to well I did it over and over :P.
I wish they had the iskin in stock, before I went on vacation when I got this thing :S ohwell I hardy ever notice the scratches. :)
God that store pwnz! :cool:
So I could not resist getting an iPod any longer...
I went for the Gold, and grabbed the 8GB model :) closeup pics coming soon.
cheers
