After a brief hands on with the iPod nano, here's what we think:
-The nano is small considering its screen. Very light and comfortable to hold. Thinner than even the first generation nano.
-The New UI is very smooth. Animations are a bit slower, but the navigation is as responsive as ever.
-The screen is vibrant and offers a very clear picture.
-Video is surprisingly nice. The picture is sharp and everything is easy to see.
-The scroll wheel still feels a little small, but all in all, its still very responsive and works the way its supposed to.
-The case design is slightly rounded on top, giving it a bit of a 3-D effect.
-Seeing this thing in person makes all the difference. It's really nice when it sits in your hand and you see the screen for yourself.
