iPod Nano 6th Gen = WIN

I had typed a comment on a message board to a bunch of people trashing the new iPod Nano (6th generation) but when I hit post they wanted me to sign up for an account so I said "screw it. I'll post it on my blog." Here goes.

All the people who are hating on the new Nano must either be old or just need to dump on everything. I just got one a few days ago (I also own an iPod Touch) and I love it.

1. It's a lot lighter than the Touch and it clips on to my clothes and as soon as I get the watch band I ordered it will be secured to my wrist. I listen to a lot of podcasts and I much prefer to have the Nano on me than the Touch.

2. The voice memo feature. If you have a headset with a mic or one of those small mics that just plug in (like $2 on ebay) then you can use the Nano to record lectures, spy on someone, make a note for yourself of a good idea etc.

3. It's really not hard to use. I have large hands (I can palm a basketball) and find no problem using it or reading the display.

I don't think I would ever watch a movie on it if the capability was added but I would like to be able to at least see what the teacher was talking about on my iTunes U classes. It's kind of pointless to just hear the audio from some of the classes where they are demonstrating stuff. If video out was enabled along with movie playing, I could hook it up to the monitor in my car when on trips so I suppose I would like movie playing added. I could also see how calendar events could be useful to someone who doesn't have a smart phone with that capability already.

It's a great device for the cost and size. Stop whining about how stupid the Nano is and get a life.

That's it. I haven't posted anything in a while because I have been too busy and lazy (kind of an oxymoronic combination but true nonetheless). I acquired and HTC Evo a few months ago and will post about it soon.
