Om Malik has an interesting take on the Apple iPod nano problems that have surfaced, saying that Bill Gates must be getting a big laugh out of this. Here's a response coming from Apple regarding complaints about scratched or broken screens on their iPod nano.
“This is a real but minor issue involving a vendor quality problem in a small number of units,” said Schiller. “In fact, this issue has affected less than 1/10 of 1 percent of the total iPod nano units that we’ve shipped. It is not a design issue.”
If this is the case, let's see how fast Apple can rectify the ipod nano problems.
I just turned on my nano and on the screen says
Disk mode ok to disconnect
What can i do about it? Please help, i want to finish my book!!!

I hope you all solved your Disk Mode - Ok to disconnect problem. The Apple website has a solution (worked for me) for iPod nano, mini and video. This their solution:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.

all you have to do is Hold Menu and the middle button for a few seconds and it should reset and return back to normal.
