Coming soon for the Nano.

A heads up to folks who might be considering the very sharp looking Nano. An apple.com thread linked to in the register story http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?14@823.1UXDaaTXUpD.0@.68b94d61 has many folks saying just putting the player in thier pocket scratches it up(!!).
Apple could have a real disaster on thier hands here. Hard to see how thery could let such a fundamental thing go wrong, especially with thier focus on aesthetics.
Could production problems cause this, or is it the materials?
Folks say Apple willingly exchanges them, but if the new ones do the same thing...?
Covering it with some kind of case seems to defeat the point of paying the Apple premium for the good looks...
Arrrg. Glad I am not dealing with that problem. Jobs has got to be ticked off. I have seen no comment from them yet.
Coming soon for the Nano.
A leather thong?! Oh, that ain't right.
iPodPeople.
Ipods are over priced, over rated, and too restrictive on their use. Why not buy one of the other dozens of MP3 players that can download songs from dozens of other sites for a fraction of the cost? Yahoomusic has just as many songs and is only $5 a month.
One with studs and chains won't be long in coming.
Uh oh, maybe I should wait for the second generation ...
Because there are so many people who have been brainwashed into thinking that Apple can do no wrong!
Wow, and our iPod only has a wardrobe of sweaters (lots of different colors, granted) but nothing as provocative as a thong, LOL.
Well, if you ever used one you would find out.
I really like my iPod (not a Nano). I own the music forever, don't just rent it, and the ease of use is just wonderful.
I have talked to three sets of parents who thought they could save a few bucks by getting some other MP3 player, only to discover that neither their kids, nor they, could get the fool thing to actually work. Possibly the alternatives have been improved, but 2 years go many brands were so complex even high school kids couldn't use them.
My awesome Palm Tungsten has disposable screen protectors. Anyone stupid enough to dish out $300 for a Nano and not get $15 screen protectors deserves what they get.
Once you have the songs on your portable they can not be removed by anyone. Only removed off your PC.
My neighbors 15 and 17 year olds just bout the ipod that holds 1000 songs. They are both having trouble with them. Their ipod claims it is full and won't accept any more songs. They only have less than 50 songs on them. On hold with support for 4 hours on sunday and still no solution.
Apple computers are for hippies, but my Ipod is the coolest music device since the invention of the electric guitar.
The Yahoo $5/month system requires special players that reauthorize each month.
Stop paying and the music stops playing.
You mean to tell me once I download a song to my iRiver or Creative portable, the song will actually disappear from it when I cancel my subscription? Does it have an expiration date if I don't connect to their service at least once a month or something? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. I realize I can't burn it to a disk without the .99Cent fee, but for it to disappear off my portable is something i,ve never heard of.
