Love at first sight

This is my first iPod. I held out for quite some time out of principle (I am a diehard PC user and do not like Macs), but now that I've given in, I can't help but love the technology. Regarding the accessories: while a lot of the older accessories are compatible with the new nano, the only available case (besides the atrocious sock) is the armband, which will not suit everyone. That said, I truly love this nano and love having the flexibility of flash memory for my morning jogs, and the technology of video for when I'm sitting around at the doctor's office or the airport. And because this new generation nano is a more compact that the earlier ones, it is less likely to break! All in all, this is one awesome little gadget.
Great product... nice design

I really like this product. The size is perfect and I like the new "fat" size. Battery life is great. I personally like the sound quality better than the older models. I put an invisibleShield on it and wont have to worry about scratches. The new UI is a great plus, and the nano has no delay through menus.
the decline of the iPod?

Today I had a chance to play with the new Nano, Classic and the iPhone. Being the techno geek, I have been keeping up to speed on the iPods and after going thru the various functions I have found out the following...
- the iPod classic has a sluggish response UI compared to the previous iPods. Very disappointing. It was more difficult to scroll through the albums and songs compared to the previous iPods. But you have to give Apple credit for the amazing 160GB capacity.
- the iPod Nano was as responsive as the previous ones. Very pleasing to the eye and very well designed. But I read about the video out issue where you need to buy a $50 cable to make use of the video-out feature. Is Apple trying to milk the customer up as much as possible before something comes up to take over the iPod market share?
- As most of us knows, the iPhone will not work at ALL unless you activate it with the AT&T service (unless you hack it...which turned out to be troublesome after today's Apple software update). The problem with the Touch is that there will be no scheduler feature for the Touch and there are some talks of how the Touch suffers from a "darker" screen compared to the iPhone. I asked about this and the Apple person told me that they heard about the problem but was not sure whether or not Apple would refund/replace the Touch because this was all very "subjective."
How nice of them to screw us.
The iPod is a very very attractive mp3 player to buy, but it seems like it's starting it's descent into ho-hum land.
