I bought myself an iPod Nano whilst in the states. A 2Gb version - the Apple Store in San Francisco had sold out of the 4Gb. I love it. The size, the design, the battery life (14 hours!), but there does seem to be a problem with the screen on the device.I thought it was just my bad luck that after 2 hours of being in my jeans pocket it had a large scratch on the LCD display, but I've just discovered the following article on BBC news online:
Nano owners complain about damage
It seems the problem is not isolated with my player but is widespread. I realise screens get scratched over time. My 20gb player is properly scratched, but I don't mind that... each scratch has a story and is a sign of its age and where it's been in the world with me. It's the immediacy of the problem that is the issue with the Nano, where's the story for the large scratches experienced after owning the product for 2 hours... err I took it out my jeans pocket?!
It shall be interesting to see if Apple react to the problem.
UPDATE
Apple does the right thing
