How long before the "Apple stole the design from Nokia" comments?

I don't like the white screen frame. Seems backward from all their other products.

Love the white frame! Makes it looks different, fresh, and uniquely Apple.

By the way I think this would have been a perfect iPhone Nano. Beautiful functional design.

Mac Rumors has a picture of this device their web site.

Well, it's the 2.5" screen people were yelling about back then. Now they get to see exactly how it works in a device proper.

Doesn't white screw with color perception on the screen?

My favorite announcment of the show(unfortunately almost everything had already been leaked about the iPhone 5).  Wasn't expecting this, and it seems like an absolutely perfect workout tool.  My only wishlist for the next upgrade would be to squeeze in a gps if possible, but this looks great.

Take a look at comments on Engadget.

I am VERY disappointed that they got rid of the "iWatch". Don't get me wrong, I like the new Nano's functionality. However, I would've liked to have seen the new Shuffle take the place of the former Nano with added bluetooth connectivity since they made the Nano bigger again. The only thing missing from the old Nano design was bluetooth, but instead they just axed the form factor completely.

I know I'll get slammed for this but i don't care.

Personally, There is nothing in this device that would inspire me to purchase.

Disappointed.

The design sucks, the white face-plate is godawful.  Really black is the only tolerable color.  It doesn't really even look like anything that Apple (team Ives) would have designed...like they took the previous nano...stretched it out and added a home button, which appears to have only one use.

I felt like the last few watch Nano's were a side step from the evolution of the Nano.  Much like the wide-body Gen 3.

There's still no way to quickly navigate without looking at the device (meaning no eyes-free operation), and it has far too little storage for my needs.  I was really hoping for the iPod Classic to converge with the iPod nano with this design.  The storage and eyes-free user-friendly operation of the Classic, mixed with the lightness and thinness of the nano.  This fails on many levels for my needs.  No 64gb option. No Wifi, No iTunes/iCloud sync.  No still/video camera.  Seems like a U-Turn and not a evolutionary one.

Seriously?  they put videos on a 16gb device?  That's like 8 movies and no music.  Or all my podcasts and no music.  Or 1/8 my entire music library and nothing else.

I guess i'll just have to go back out and replace my now-dead Classic with a new one before they discontinue it.

They should make a lower storage model, add IR and sell it as a $79 Universal Remote.

This is the design that should have immediately followed after the last scroll-wheel nano (aside from the silly white face). It was obvious back then that the clip-on nano was a design mis-step. Glad they are back on track with the nano. (That said, I still think the scroll while nano was a better overall design; but if you insist on going to a touch screen, this is galaxies ahead of the previous touch screen nano.)
