Yeah, screw user replaceable battery. All we need as an easily maintainable back plateDim said:Yeah, imagine then if you scratched up the back of your ipod. Just get out the sander and some new stain finish and it's like new again.
Now THAT is the attitude we need to be going to Apple with!!!studogvetmed said:Yeah, screw user replaceable battery. All we need as an easily maintainable back plate
Both the Minis were aluminum too thoughEric Lewis said:1st = Mirror

I agree. Personally, I like them better to. I find the mirror backed iPods (I have owned some myself) have way too many visible scratches, blemishes, and fingerprints and what not, obviously because of the type of backing. I hated touching the backs of them when I used them..AmazingDM said:Both the Minis were aluminum too though
I think aluminum nano's are more popular

What I would do, if I were Apple, is I'd split the difference. Stick with the portrait orientation but go back to the two part chassis and make both halves annodized aluminum, two colors, silver aluminum back, choice of colors for the front plate.Surf Monkey said:I like how the mirrored back ages, actually. I think the scratches, dents and dings give it character. Besides, you're supposed to upgrade your Nano every year anyway, so why not have some fun with it instead of coddling and fussing - which I'm not saying you in particular are doing, just to be clear.
But yeah, the brushed aluminum rules. I love the black aluminum face of my 160 gig Classic. It's finally durable. As much as I like the "weathered" look of the back of an old iPod, I can't stand scratches and dings in the lucite slab or on the screen.

You could finally have an iPod nano that, theoretically, pleases everybody.
