Ever since the first iPod nano I've been banging on about the delights of devices with no rotating disc. The latest nano is just a delight, go along to an Apple Store and pick one up - then contrast it with the iPod Classic.
See what I mean? Isn't it big, and , er ... clunky? Sure it holds tons of music, videos, photos and other vital stuff, but its big. Why not do the obvious and put the nano on steroids?
Well maybe I now understand why they can't. It isn't that they don't want to, I'm sure even their bad designers are smarter than me on this, its just that they can't. they can't do it for the most simple of reasons - ther aren't enough suitable memory chips on the market.
Apple has hoovered them all up, and still they can't make enough Nanos. So my non-rotating drive Classic must be on hold. Until you read about a major new plant being built to double or treble peoduction. Then watch out.
