So, I have had my third generation iPod nano for about a week now. So far I only have a few things to say against it.

One (and this is nothing original): the back is scratch-tastic. I had to plunk down another 27$ to get a new case. It was necessary---for the first three days, I was afraid to use the thing for fear that i would break it.

Now, on to the things that make it so great!

First, I feel obligated by the vision of pure beauty in my pocket ( ) to put in another plug as to how aesthetically pleasing this little device is. The screen is perfect, bright, and rivals screens 10 times its size in picture clarity. On top of that, the nano is of miniscule proportion, effectively bunching bliss into small packaging. Yay!

I especially like the ease with which I can interact with the UI. This is my first ipod, but not my first mp3 player, and let me just say that finding your tunes or a specific setting is a cinch.

The games that came packaged with the nano are entertaing as well, but when I have some time, I am definitely going to load up Peggle.

Well, that's about it.

Games wise, I tried out the demo for The Club, was not at all interested in what I saw and quickly uninstalled it. I am really at a loss here. I have no I dea how I am gonna get my gaming fix in the coming weeks. I can keep playing UT3 (no problem, let me assure you) but I really wany something new. I enjoyed the mechanics of The Club, but the delivery was meh, and I think that it would have been an awesome free-roamer, rather than a glorified version of Dead Man Walking in Max Payne.

Hmm, I really think I just want Just Cause 2...

Schrondinger out.
