Some New iPod Nanos Ship With Tilted Display
Apple's new iPod Nano made some waves when it was presented. It now looks just like the classic iPod and features the same capabilities - most importantly video playback. Turns out that a large number of early adopters are turning on their brand new toy, just to notice the screen not being straight within the casing. While this tilt may not be a lot, it can easily be seen on the two inch screen. Apple is replacing these iPod Nanos, but even the replacement has the same defect at times. So if you just bought your new toy, expect to give it up for 7 to 10 business days, while Apple relaces your unit. Even the new 8GB iPod Nano of yours truly has the same defect - this is certainly not impressive Apple.

Is it just me or is apple rushing for some unknown reason? I haven't seen any new competition popping up that should make them rush so much lately {confused}.
I have been sitting here all day waiting for UPS to pick up the nano, but as it turns out, the guy at the apple service line forgot to complete the report, so no pickup was arranged.
I got real ticked, told them that this is certainly not the way to do business and look at that (in a calm and firm voice...I am a very good public speaker ;)), I was offered a replacement unit IN ADVANCE.
So it should be here within 2 days (seeing is believing).
The Apple forum is flooded with reports of the tilted screen, from Germany, to New York to Tokyo...
Considering a PSP, if the screen is tilted a milimeter on a large PSP screen you would most likely not notice, but the two inch screen is certainly not something you want tilted that much. Just think of your cell phone screen being off by that much...horrid I tell you horrid.
cheers

that's great on the sansa 16gb, I love to see good competition!
probably some kid in china working for apple set the machine a little off and screwed up a huge batch of em! lol
