Two interesting iPod nano articles
Tags: iPod, iPod nano, Marketing, Apple
A couple of iPod nano articles over the weekend really caught our attention. One of them in Gizmodo actually explained why
so many people call the iPod nano design clean. But even better, the article goes into some depth about the subliminal design factors that affect people's perception of products. It's this sort of thinking that really separates great products like the iPod from the run-of-the-mill widgets produced by most high-tech manufacturers.
The second article is over at Ars Technica where they decide to do some destructive testing of their iPod nano. Yes, it's enough to make a gadget geek cry, but you have to give these guys an A for effort. We were particularly impressed with the fact that it was still playing AFTER IT HAD BEEN RUN OVER BY A CAR NOT ONCE BUT TWICE. The coup de grace only came from throwing the iPod nano about 40 feet in the air and letting is smash onto concrete.
You have to admit, Apple designs amazing products.
