iPod Nano - Mine all mine!

Well I did it. After a few days trying to convince myself that I didn't want one I finally succumb to the charms of the iPod Nano.

My Nano should be winging it's way over from Ireland as we speak. I have heard reports that the Apple online store takes an age to deliver items that you order from them, but it seemed a lot easier than having to go down to "that London" and purchase one from the bricks and mortar Apple store.

Unfortunately for me, and other British citizens, the Nano is not scratch resistant. Apple quoted me 4-6 weeks delivery time on Nano tubes which seem to be the only product out there at the moment that will ensure that my little darling doesn't get all scratched. Whats a guy to do?

Well, you could always enter the competition over at Malarkey's gaff. The generous Mr.Clarke is offering one of his Nano tubes that he procured whilst on a jolly teaching in Cupertino. Where, evidently, it doesn't take 4-6 weeks to get your hands on them.

EDIT: Evidently Amazon can supply you with them faster than Apple (1-2 weeks) can which seems a little strange.

If you do enter don't try too hard because I want to win ;) I don't think my little Nano will last 4-6 weeks "naked"

  • Hello Andy, I got an iPod Nano last week, and yes, they are awesome! Do be careful about scratching the screen though. My podcaster friends don't like them though cause you can't audio record directly on them. But so what, you can put a bunch of pictures, a ton of songs, and still have plenty room for many of your important files.

  • Hi Den,

    I also have access to a 30gig iPod Photo with a Griffin iTalk which I use in some curriculum projects with Secondary school age (11-16 yr olds) kids.

    I know what you mean about the nano and scratches though. I am using an iPod sock at the moment until the nano tubes hit the uk.
