Proof that there still is more to do. On Saturday I got an email from Sylvia saying that a friend of mine had bought her first iPod. It took me a few minutes to figure out that she was talking about herself. Funny, I had never thought about whether she had an iPod or not, but I have been on her case to get a digital camera. So she brought her iPod over, it's one of the new "fatty" nanos with video. It was so funny to see it through her eyes, and even cooler to read her story. I didn't realize that there was a reason she had never gotten an iPod. Sylvia: Sliding into song. I seek out experiences like this. Stones I can turn over that reveal a rich experience, an eye-opener, a bright horizon that doesn't take much time or effort to achieve.

Dan Frakes  likes what he sees. âThe screen makes it clearâno pun intendedâthat the design is a winner.â Awarding iPod nano 4.5 (out of five) stars, he points out that âmenu text is clearer and easier to read than it was with the previous model. And even though this is the smallest video-playing screen Iâve used, after watching a 90-minute movie on the nano I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Picture quality is comparable to that of the iPhone, just smaller.â âEssentially a miniaturized version of the iPod classic available for as little as $149,â iPod nano offers âall the same features and capabilities including video playback and output.â
