Nano thoughts: A nitpick and a gush

Apple's third generation iPod Nano is a wonderful little music and video player. One thing bugs me. Look how the text is cut off on the 'now playing' screen:



There's really no reason that the song and album names need to be truncated like that; there's plenty of room to let the text flow to another line.

Obviously it's not a fatal flaw, just irritating.

The video playback on this device is amazing, smooth as silk and surprisingly watchable for such a small screen. In fact it's very forgiving for videos downloaded from YouTube — it helps hide the artifacts of low resolution encoding. (Hint to Mac users: step 1, step 2.)



It happies me.
