...Nanochromatic.

Test drove one over the weekend, and I like that it's still slim, interesting that they reverted back to this Gen design. Critics will poke at its video playback purpose- wondering how anyone can truly enjoy watching a music video or movie from such an itty-bitty screen. Consumer expectations are so high today. We expect everything to work flawlessly and the way we want it to. Some technophiles may wonder why we all don't own hoverboards yet?

Sometimes it's nice to step back and look at it from a different angle. Let's not take modern technology for granted. I'm pretty amazed. Thinking back to my kindergarten days, I remember we had to slip a huge beta cassette into a pretty bulky machine. After watching the first half of the Hobbit, we'd switch up and load the next beta tape to finish the second half of the movie. Only to find that someone recorded part of Annie over the second tape, and freekin' ruined the ending. Sadly, I still don't know what happened to good old Bilbo. Talk over the concept of DVR, Internet TV with your grandparents, they'll school you to appreciate that, too.

Fast forward to today. Now you can just load up this tiny thing, take it wherever you go, and watch entire movies at your leisure on top of listening to thousands of songs Pretty nifty! http://www.apple.com
