At last I got my iPod- Nano Black 4GB. It was on my wishlist for a quiet long time. I was contemplating on a iPod 30 GB Photo, then considering its size, moved to 1GB Shuffle. Needless to say, when the Nano was released, I pounced on it immediately. I have even got my name engraved on it. I like to have my name on my possessions, it gives a sense of personalization.
Took me no time to familiarize with the interface. The funny thing is that I could figure out how-to do almost everything without referring to the manual, except switching it off. (Have to hold down the play/pause button.) Incidentally, I faced the same issue when I worked on an iMac for the first time. Later I found that I need to just press the power button; I am still wondering was I stupid or it is the case with everyone.
There is no need for another Nano review, there are plenty out there already. But I will list a few of my complaints:
- What really put me off was the absence of Indian standard time on the time zone list; for that matter it lacks many other timezones. I don’t understand why Apple couldn’t cover all the timezones.
- Ofcourse the scratches, the surface looks as if it was built to get scratched.
- And please… don’t tell me that iPod comes with games, I hate the built in games.
