Short extract: As we were sat watching Steve Jobs announce the new iPod line-up at Apple's annual shindig, we were shocked by the huge changes to the Nano. The previous five generations were basically all iterations of the same idea, but Apple has changed tack completely with this sixth-gen model.

Conclusion: For some, the new nano will be a disappointment, while for others (particularly runners) it will be a revelation.

Short extract: Nano nano. Once a comedy catchphrase in Mork and Mindy, it now adorns, bizarrely, a pair of audio players by Creative and Apple. The coincidence is utterly shazbut.
