+ a hit, a miss +


iPod nano. 2GB or 4GB flash memory, 1.5" colour screen, picture viewing function, actual size shown. $348 / $438. In black or white. So pretty, you'd touch it more than if a naked Brad Pitt or Jennifer Aniston stood in front of you.


Motorola ROKR. (USA only) Design wise, it's just an all-white version of 1 1/2 year-old E398 with an extra music-player button. Functionality wise, E398 with video recording and of course iTunes software. Granted, it's not exactly designed by Apple, but Motorola is no slouch in the design department either. For a delayed and much anticipated product, the strengths of Apple & Motorola can do much more. Come on, show us an impossibly cool successor soon.
