You mean Apple are a bunch of capitalists interested in making a few (billion) bucks and not simply the loving and nurturing organization interested solely in its users' well being, enrichment and freedom that I thought?
My world is shattered.

Well, "accidents" do happen. 
The current nano is sweet. My wife has one, and even though I have the 80GB (pre-classic), I drool over hers. That little screen has the same pixel count as the larger screen on mine, so the image is incredible bright and clear. And this doesn't get a lot of play, but they made some great improvements on the user interface for the current gen model.
Hmm, maybe I need to have an "accident", too. |

Jeff, I have held the new one and I actually like it less than mine. I think the click-wheel is smaller. I've seen a lot of criticism of it for running, vs. the 2nd gen.
If I traveled a lot I could see wanting one for watching movies, but for my purposes a nice screen would be completely lost. |

Hmmm, good point. Maybe I need to go to the grand opening of the Apple Store here in town tomorrow and investigate this throughly. |

Ooh, our nearest Apple store opened almost...uhhh...3 years ago. That's when we got our Mini. We went that day, but the free t-shirts were already gone (I had a race that AM, then did's company picnic). *snap*

I would not have guessed that. I figured only in SE Michigan.
I may do some serious damage to my wallet at the Apple Store. I'm a far less rational shopper in person than when I order online. |

Plus those Apple stores have a knack for hiring super personable sales staff who know just how to work a shopper up into a buying frenzy. I swear the last time we were in there it took all of our will not to buy the top-of-the line set-up...and I think we were just in there to look for Sennheiser headphones for my iPod (they had the ones I wanted on the site and since we were in the neighborhood I wanted to see if they had them in the store, too). That place is really dangerous. |
