Here's a great piece from Time on the development of the new iPod nano.
If you haven't touched an iPod, it's hard to appreciate the technical and aesthetic elegance embodied in it's design. Despite the fact that we've had 3 iPods fail on us within less than a year of their age, my wife and I still bought a new 4th gen (this time an iPod photo). Suckers for punishment? Maybe, but something about the design of these products really hooks you in. I believe it's the attention to detail. For example, in the current gen iPod, they put in a tiny built-in speaker solely to make the little "clickclick" sound you hear when you touch the wheel. Check out this interesting read to get some insight into the minds behind this new technical beauty- I can't wait to covetously stroke one:

i just bought a 20gb ipod....
i wonder if they're gonna continue making the shuffle, i mean... the nano is VERY compact, and it has a color display screen
I heard a brief mention on CNN today that Apple is having some quality issues with the new Nano. After I research a bit, I'll post some info.
