iPod Nano
I could probably get some flack for this statement from alot of Apple afficionados, but the latest iPod displayed on the Apple web page seems like it could be a joke, but it’s not.
It looks like one of those mock pages you might see somebody coming up with, poking fun at Apple and the iPod craze. No doubt, the iPod has definetly changed the way we consume music, but this latest offering seems a little silly. If Apple is going to come out with something like this, just come out with new versions of the existing iPod and don’t try and hype it to death or make it seem like “revolutionary” or something. I don’t know, I guess Apple has to keep those profits up so anything to generate a buzz and get some sales going, we all know they’ve definetly mastered that skill.
The iPod nano is a smaller iPod, plain and simple, nothing more nothing less, it’s annoying that they have tried to rebrand it or make it seem like an entirely new product.
On a side note, Apple changed the format on their homepage as well, the product image above the content is now in a 100% width area, I’m wondering if this is something permanent or just temporary for the nano. Also starting to see a shift Apple’s look as they being to turn to darker color schemes. Should be interesting to see if this is going to lead into a new look for OSX.
