    honestly? I don't really care for a new iPod nano. :p I'm not getting a new iPod anytime soon (I'm still using my iPod mini), and I'm just waiting for an iPhone nano. :)

    Wow, that thing's big!

    EDIT: Er, ok, I guess it's not really that big. Certainly bigger than the current nanos though. Or any past iPod nanos.

    I supposed I'll warm up to it a bit, but its not immediately wowing me like the iPhone did. Same with the third generation Nano, I didn't wow to that immediately (its still not a fantastic design in my opinion, but its better than my original perception).

    I think Apple's slowly going "function over form", at least in the Nano line. They made the Nano fat for a larger screen for video, now they make the screen, supposedly, stand upright for a larger screen, but in my opinion, not as nice design-wise.

    IMO they should move the wheel to the right of the screen... orient it like the Creative Zen, but with the iPod click wheel where the Zen's screwy controls are. Then you don't have to twist it around, it doesn't look dumb, it would actually look kind of new and fresh.

    But... what do I know?
