So it’s here, the new iPod Nano. I originally wasn’t too much a fan, but having seen it in real life, it looks a whole lot better than the photo’s. Doesn’t appear to be purposely designed for scratches all over it either (this time)…
Anyway, as promised, here’s the Apple iPod Nano 4G ad (details follow).
