The always reliable audiophile Bill Machrone has published audio benchmarks and measurements for the iPod nano
on his Serious Personal Audio Site.
The verdict? The sound quality is not quite as good as the iPod shuffle [ipodshufflecar, ipodshufflesound], but is otherwise excellent. Quote: "The nano is a winner, and a more-than-worthy successor to the mini."
Side note: Although I think the black version of the nano looks much cooler than the white one, a few hands-on minutes revealed two key words about the black version: fingerprint magnet
i really want one of these
i like the black the best im just worried that it would snap in my pocket if i leaned to far forward to tie my shoelace or something
but thats just me being paranoid
i cant see people wanting the ipod mini or shuffle now
no wonder there so eager to give them away with walkers crisps?
I would go for sound quality over appearance any day.
