Aaron was able to get a review copy of the brand new iPod Nano 2nd generation (2g) from Tekserve for the podcast, and was kind enough to give it to me, so I put it side by side with my iPod Nano 1st generation (1g) and took a couple of pictures…
The 2g (right) is a little bit thinner than the original nano. (Is that possible?) It’s also much less prone to scratching because of the aluminum case-outside-thing. (But then again, how could anything scratch worse than the original?)
The 2g’s screen (right) is obviously 40% (I think) brighter. And sharper, though I still wouldn’t want to touch it for fear of mushing it up.
It’s cool. A decent improvement, especially with 8 gigs, longer battery life, cheaper price, no scratching, thinner, and colors. Though there are still no GAMES AND VIDEOS! I understand videos on the small screen probably wouldn’t work well, but why can’t the games from the iTunes store work on the nano???
And finally, you may have noticed that my sidebar has (yet again) decided to create an error somewhere in the code, and just for that little error, it stopped the entire sidebar from showing. But I’ll reinstall the theme and it should be back in a day or two when I have the time, and I feel like doing it.
I just posted a similar picture of my new 80G, which arrived today, next to my old 60G.
So now it’s thinner than paper? Can you blow on it for me and see if it breaks?
LOL!!
Did you get to keep it?
nah … worth way to much
bummer…
