Apple silently updates the Apple Store to include a 1GB nano for the same price the shuffle went. Sure, it didn’t deserve an Apple Special Event all by itself, but how could His Steveness not want to drop a “And now the nano is more affordable and cooler than ever!
” in his next keynote?
When you think of it, it’s a bit unnerving to see they can sell a nano, with its cute (fragile) screen and cute (fragile) glossy finish, and compatibility with the Apple FM tuner and all iPod accessories, for the same price as they used to offer the shuffle. Makes you wonder what kind of markup they made on these lately, and when you start thinking about Apple markups it always makes you itch a bit.
Of course I want one, even though I’m starting to feel cramped in my shuffle’s 1GB. But if money was no object — and it isn’t, considering I haven’t got the money for a 1GB nano either — I’d rather they introduced an 8GB nano instead. Which, if they’re non-announcing the 1GB variant today, isn’t likely to happen for a while.
