Found Footage: 1, 2, 3, 4 and many more new Nanos
Here's the ad for the new iPod Nano, (also available in QuickTime on Apple.com) which I still think doesn't look that great (the Nano, not the ad). I mean yeah, it's super cute and tiny, and it is extremely awesome to have a screen like that (with its 204ppi) playing video on a Nano. But it's just so... stubby and squished.
Still, Apple makes up for it by using the best song off of Feist's latest album, and the video that goes with it. Not quite as iconic (or out-there) as Orba Squara, but it is a great tune.

There are a lot of auto designs where folks initially complained before falling in love: Chrysler 300, the current RR http://www.autoblog.com/tag/phantom/, BMW 7 series. ps: am also confused why iPod Touch is so similar to iPhone when it does not have to be....

It doesn't play video, but that's alright with me. I don't even like watching video on full-sized iPods, it gives me a headache. I feel like when I watch video on a screen that small, I have to strain to pick up everything that is going on in the frame. It's beyond me how the rest of the world can do it.

Maybe they'll look better in person, but they are just so drab in the pictures. (I desperately want an orange nano, not shuffle, nano). Typically I'm really excited about the Apple product announcements, but this one, eh... only thing exciting is the price drop on the iPhone.

Thinking on it, it could make a great commercial for the iPod; (showing them on the counts) "1, 2, 3, 4/Can I have a little more?/5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 I love you" and the end text reads something like "The New iPod Family" and the Apple logo.

September 07 2007 at 6:23 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyWell, at first I found it a little strange looking, too.
But that's only because it's a form factor we're all not used to, from Apple and the the iPod products.
Today I can only say that I like it more and more, because it so logical ...iPods little sister. The old nano seemed, looking back, much more arkward than the new.
Btw., I think the iPod touch is the real problem. It's just the iPhone without the Phone unit. And that really seems lazy and confusing to me.
Look at the ad. You can't really tell that it's not an iPhone. Really confusing.
It's fine to me to release an iPod with multitouch, wlan and safari. But to not design it more like an iPod ... it's just lazy and a matter of production cost. That's why the could lower the price so much for the iPhone.
They should have made the iPod Touch with a metal case, like the iPod classic and no mechanical button on the front. Only a large display with almost not frame. That would have been grate. Or only a display with glass protection for the front and a metall case at the back.
!
My current iPod is a 1 gig Nano so i'll definitely by upgrading to the 4 gig silver nano this weekend.

I'm all for colour, but this is ridiculous
