Such great hardware, but so lacking software.. Apple should really have tossed in some WiFi love and application support on the iPod Nano making it capable of doing offline synchronization of streaming solutions like Spotify.

While I
love the new Nano design, what you posted is exactly why I will not buy the newest Nano. The price is somewhat high, and it is crippled without having even the most basic Wireless network connectivity.
At a Minimum, it would be nice to sync with iTunes via Wifi, or better yet, allow Wifi enabled audio / video content applications be installed by 3rd Parties. Would love to have Last.FM, TWiT.TV, and possibly even NetFlix, and YouTube on such a device (yes I watch postage stamp videos).
I will just keep holding onto my 5th generation Nano.
Apple needs a nanotouch™ with wifi and ability to load media consumption applications and or streaming.
