Standing On Boxes

Sitting on the box the Nano comes in. It’s the same size as the Shuffle’s box. The outer slip-cover actually has a life-size image of the Nano on it. Embossed front and side views.
(The nano is thinner than the shuffle. You’ll have to check Apple’s website for Shuffle and Nano specs if you want exact dimensions… I don’t have a ruler handy…)

Haven’t quite figured out the prayer/thumb wheel on the Nano…

I don’t use the ‘ear buds’ that come with these things (Or my PSP)… they make my ears hurt… I like my music pain-free… so I bought a pair of cheap ‘clip-on’ headphones. (I have a much better pair of real headphones I use at work with my PC…). Worth the $9 I spent on them.

Not the best picture… my (3 year old) digital camera doesn’t do close-up shots very well… I guess that is next on the replace list (Christmas?)

Is it an iPod or a PDA?

I bought it to play music… (and other audio things)…

I’d heard that you can put contact info on it (Anything you can put in vCard format) and calendar info (though I have no idea how to do that…)…

It looks like you can also put text files on it… kind of a small screen to read eBooks on but… possible.

The real surprise… there are several games… standard simple stuff you used to find on cell phones before they got so smart… some thing Breakout, a solitaire game, music trivia (It plays a part of a song from your iPod and you have to guess the title), and something called ‘Parachute’

I need some kind of case for this…

The “docking port” on the end the the nano doesn’t have a cover. I wonder how long before dirt gets in it and it stops working…

There’s a docking adapter… but no instructions on what to do with it… at least not anything included with the iPod…
