David Pogue gets the Nano

There's a review today in the New York Times by David Pogue of the iPod Nano. He gets why the incremental functionality will make it hard for the Flip:

The sound is crisp but mono; the video is only standard definition. The Nano does not shoot still photos; Apple says that kind of sensor wouldn't fit in a case this small.

I want to whine about these things, I really do. But you know what? You've got video in a machine that can hide between two fingers, for Pete's sake. There's something to be said about having a video recorder in a gadget that's so small, you always have it with you. What good is hi-def if you didn't have the camcorder when the moment arose?
