BW: iPod Nano Packs a Punch
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by John Martellaro
The iPod nano provides beautiful music and video in a tiny package, according to Business Week. The only regret was that it doesnt have more storage.
Arik Hesseldahl said that it all makes sense now why the iPod nano has become the most popular iPod. Educated guesses put the iPod nano at half of all iPods sold.

At first, he thought that video on the nanos 2 inch screen would be "silly." "But small has its advantages, and Ive been pleasantly surprised after a few weeks of watching videos on the nano that I am barely aware of the screen size. The image quality is gorgeous.... Its bright enough and clear enough that the size matters less, which is the point. The screen density�the number of pixels crammed into each square inch of screen space�is the highest of any iPod that Apple has ever shipped, and the end result shows it," Mr. Hesseldahl observed.
The nanos screen brightness and resolution is so appealing that the author found himself watching TV shows during breaks at work. "Seriously. Just try it," he said. "Since its so small, theres a better-than-average chance the boss wont see it if he or she happens by while youre watching."
About the only thing one could ask for is more storage, akin to the iPod touch. Even if the nano were a little thicker to accommodate 16 GB, he could tolerate it.
So far, Mr. Hesseldahl has relied on the massive storage of his iPod classic. "But for sheer multimedia portability its hard to beat the new nano," he concluded.
