Apple afficienados are particularly prone to being vocal in complaining about each and every fault, whereas Dell, Creative etc. customers just take it as part of the ‘user experience’.

you say you have an iPod - which iPod do you have?

The so-called broken screens issue was also not widespread. There was a short run of the Nano which had a defective screen and Apple is replacing these no-questions-asked, but this whining about surface scratches is just lemming-like whining on a subject the whiners would not have worried about before.

Oh, and the prediction that people will “leave it in the store window”, yah, right. Another “Apple’s (whatever) is Dead” prognosticator bites the dust. I predict you will be found full of . . . Brasso.

You guys obviously didn’t buy a Nano nor did you read the complaints on the forums - people’s Nanos were scratched by contact with people’s fingernails! My mobile phone travels everywhere with me in my pocket and my keys or coins haven’t scratched it, never mind fingernails.

There is obviously a problem with the quality of the material used to make the Nanos - it needs to be fixed.
