Jon Gales iPod nano Review

Calling himself an "Apple guy and a gadget nut", Jon Gales of MobileTracker shares his opinion about the iPod nano in a review on MacMerc.com where he says, "The iPod nano is the coolest thing I own bar none."

"The minute I heard about the iPod nano, I knew I couldn't look at my mini the same. I actually heard about it later than most of you, since I was on a flight to New York during the announcement. When I heard about it from the Engadget guys at a party that night, I quickly plotted a trip to the SoHo Apple Store the next morning. To my surprise they had no units, but I was able to pick one up at my local store this morning."

iPod nano Skins

Evolution Vinyl Works has introduced a new line of iPod nano skins, specially designed to give your iPod nano a whole new look.  The full-color printed "stickers" or TrueVue™  "stickers" provide total front and back iPod nano coverage. All of their printed wraps are 1440 dpi, high resolution images printed on 8-year cast vinyl that never shrinks or warps. After the printing is done it then receives a 2 ml high-luster clear vinyl laminate film to prevent any smudging, scratching, or smearing.

“This is just the start of what we plan to do with the “Skindustry” said Mike King, Co-Founder of Evolution Vinyl Works. “In a matter of days the demand for this particular product line has been overwhelming to say the least”.

David Pogue Reviews iPod nano

New York Times technology writer David Pogue reviews the iPod nano, and points out that the new Apple gadget has a few similarities, and some nice new features that are not found on other iPods. David Pogue writes:

"Like other iPods, the new one is designed to synchronize its audio material with the free iTunes jukebox software for Mac and Windows; it handles songs copied from your own CD collection, songs you've bought from Apple's online music store, audio books from Audible.com, and any of 15,000 free weekly podcasts (wildly uneven, and wildly entertaining, amateur radio shows). But only the Nano identifies, with a blue dot, the podcasts you haven't yet listened to, and only the Nano can display the lyrics of whatever song is now playing. (That trick requires you to install the new 5.0 version of iTunes and paste the lyrics in yourself.)"
