I have been playing the past weeks with the 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 generations of iPod Nanos.
I have been very happy with the ones with clickwheel. They have a diferent "personality" in themselves and feel like they have a unique personality. It's not just the clickwheel but the entire design. They way the handle and feel is soft and curved.
I have had the 7th gen for about a year and it's the one with less use of all. It's size and weight are impressive but it's too square, you can actually feel the hard borders and it has always felt a little weird to have to move my finger all over the tiny screen which seems hard and not slippery even if it's not.
But the worst thing came with my recent adquisition of a 6th gen nano. I just used it for an hour and it seems huge, clunky and really slow. The screen feels even more non responsive. Overall, it doesn't feel like and iPod at all. I look at it and I don't feel like using it. Seems cold and hard and boring and frankly makes me feel bored.
Am I actually nuts for writing this thing?
