Impossibly Small is Just the Beginning

Believe the news people. Yesterday marked my first hands-on exposure to the iPod nano. All I can say is that there are some things that just don’t seem natural. Pick it up and you expect it to weigh 4x more than it does. Activate the screen expecting Timex, you get HDTV. Hold it in your hand and play with it for a while and crazy ideas about sliding it in your wallet alongside your Mastercard emerge. Yes, yes, and yes, it really is that “impossibly small”.

In fact, I did some research and guess what… remember last year’s standard of “thinness” in the tech world (Motorola’s uber-swank Razr phone)? Consider this…

iPod nano’s 1/2 the weight of the Razr
iPod nano’s 1/2 the thickness of the Razr
iPod nano’s battery runs more than 2-3x as long as the Razr’s

Full flavor. Zero fat. Make no mistake about it geek peeps, this is the Jenny Craig of the iPod world. I’m warning you… don’t pick this baby up unless you’re ready to throw down.

iPod nano = geek lust incarnate.
