Pimp my nano
September 19, 2005 by Mike Wendland
Accessories for the nano are building in the pipeline. What’s the best? The worst? What incompatabilities with pre-nano iPod accessories? Weigh in folks. Nano-Nano, new iPod accessories
I’m just back from working some Hurricane Katrina relief on the Gulf Coast and found the nano my favorite travel aid. As the others jabbered during our all night rides to and fro, I tuned it all out with my nano and drifted into sleep several times. It’s tiny size made it easy to carry when you scrunch up and try to find a comfortable sleeping position in the back seat.
There are lots more nano extras from iPodStreet.
So far the only accessories that turn me on are the nano tubes and lanyard/earbuds from Apple. Some of the cases announced add too much bulk. The tiny size is half the appeal of the nano. I don’t want it to look like astroturf or the Michelin man.
Too bad that Apple didn’t have at least the nano tubes ready to go. I’ve temporarily wrapped my nano the same thin plastic I use to cover my Palm screen. Scratched my mini two days after I bought it and don’t want a repeat.
I’m really glad to see Trendy Geek.com has Pod Shields in the works for the Nano. That’s all I need: no fat cases, just protection for the screen and for chrome back.
