look at this!!




in case you've been living in some mountains, apple has juz come up with the ipod nano. as you can see from teh above pic, its extremely slim, extremely compact. fits nicely into teh palm, as shown below:



it cna even be worn as an arm band:


in fact i htink the arm band look wld be great when you're doign ur regular jogging (not tat i do, of cuz =p)

however the picture below makes me wonder about whether its ergonomic enough. firstly, the display seems super small, but of cuz i'm sure the intended users ie youngsters have enough eye power to handle tat. secondly, there is hardly any buttons there. means there is alot of function sharing among the buttons. while enhancing its cool factor, this also means that the way the commands are mapped out, and shown on teh display panel, must be super clear and easy to follow in order for users to be able to learn how to use the ipod nano easily.


hmmm actually i'm qte sure many of you have heard about it le. cuz i dun usually hear about techie gadgets and now even i noe about it???? shows the wonders that a good (or shld i say, cool) design can do eh. makes pp spread teh word about it, such tat even a mountain panda (wait, is there such a hting as mountain panda???) like me also have heard, and raves, about it.

hmmm too bad i dun have the money to buy it.. i havent checked out the price, but im' sure a cool product comes with a cool price. =(
