Here are a few snippets about the iPod nano to whet your appetite:
• One underpublicized difference between the fifth-generation nano and its predecessors is screen technology. Apple has changed its specs page to reflect the use of thin-film transistor screen technology.
• The fifth-generation nano is compatible with games released for the prior two generations of iPod nano; games display on its wider screen with black letterbox-style bars, rather than rescaling.
• Twelve lines of standard menu text can now fit on the iPod nano’s screen rather than ten.

This is iLounge? I’m sure there will be mention of an authentication chip that will make the headphones strangle your gonads if you use unauthorized headphones.
@Wrong Again
lol
How long before there’s a scandal at a high school or college somewhere where one of these nanos records the locker room?
Within one month is my prediction.
Why, oh, why did I graduate 12 years ago?!?! So many shenanigans I missed out on . . .
Looks like roughlydrafted.com is out for the count today.
One last thing they forgot: The iPod Classic’s display is now made of glass instead of plastic like all previous versions.
15 things you didn’t know, or didn’t need to know?
“the printing on the back of the iPod is smaller…
Futurists have long predicted this age of cheap, ubiquitous video (and other sensors). Preceded by the age of cheap processing power and the age of cheap connectivity. Who was it that predicted the “use-once disposable video camera” in, say, a Hallmark greeting card?
@ Wrong Again,
Yeah, no shit. I got banned from the site for daring to question the frat-boys that run that place.
Tools.
The Nano has always used a TFT LCD Display.

My previous classic (120 gig) has a glass screen cover, not plastic.

The Dude abides.
@MidWest Mac,
Yeah. I made a similar prediction yesterday but mine was about someone recording a crime and the video helping catch the person.
Ironic that I would post what I did and you would post what I would normally post. Man, I must be getting old.
#16 – Analogous to the iPhone’s “Find My iPhone” feature, Apple has implemented “Explode My iPod”.
Now who’s going to steal my iPod, bitch?!?!
Their obsession with the exact color shade of each model versus the previous version is annoying. The “things” not related to color matching are somewhat more interesting.
Apple should make an ultra limited edition iPod shuffle with a gold-alloy body. It would weigh 0.75 ounces and cost $999.
Lol to that ken1w!
Only you’ll find Tiffany New York or Swarovski (Austria) maybe some other high end jeweller offer an iPhone/iPod case encrusted with various diamonds, rubies and emeralds.
If only I could buy that for the lady I’d have her for life.
In fact I swear I did see an ad somewhere for one, though I am also sure it was more than $999.
Rather than make an expensive Nano for $999, I would like to bring back an old favourite Apple in-joke – make a Mac Mini for $666.66.
> make a Mac Mini for $666.66.
And give it a special wooden case.
