I decided to get one of the new iPod nanos, Steve Jobs announced at this weeks special event. The new nano was a logical choice. My last two iPods died upon HD failures and flash drives tend to life longer. Although the 8 gig version is much too small for my music library, it’s enough for my on the go needs (mainly podcasts).

I received my nano on Friday and I already had some time to play with it. At first I was a bit disappointed. The scroll weel is a bit too small for my fingers and the screen doesn’t look very crisp. But I’m getting more and more comfortable with it. I’ll try to use it over the course of this week and if I find it useable I’ll keep it.
