Some findings after a few months of using my 1GB iPod nano.

• 1GB is probably just a little too small for me
• I stopped putting music on it. I now only have podcasts. This way I always have something new to listen to.
• Just for fun, I once installed ipodlinux and rockbox. It was fun, but I went back to the good old (&simple) Apple OS. Seeing Doom run on the iPod was quite fun. Not quite playable, but fun.
• I’m not fully satistied with the scrollwheel. Sometimes I find it not being accurate enough.

Proprietary. Difficult to use, and not compatible with other subscription services. Controls are pointlessly oblique, troubleshooting info is needlessly complicated with conversation and cutesy euphemisms. Style without function. Much happier with the Samsung YP-Z5.

The nano is really small. My cellphone looks awfully big compared to it.

I wonder how much smaller these things will get in the next few years (either smaller, or more powerfull).
