Thanks reader50.

Nano I can't believe it. I've been denying it for a while, but it's true ! APPLE now = MICROSOFT! In another ploy to ensure ipod users only use their software (iTunes) they rende…

4 gigs isn't really enough to want to store your pics on anyway. I mean you can get memory cards that big.

The nano doesn't support USB host. It's not a needless restriction. It's the chipset they've used. Probably to save space.

What business decision? What does Apple stand to profit by arbitrarily restricting the functionality of the Nano? Your argument is specious. The logical conclusion is that the…
