The iPod nono looks COOL and also the article was cool enough to give insides into the ipod nano and related ipods. The only thing I found difficult to understand is :
If Ipod Nano supports USB 2.0 then how come the transfer rate can be less than the firewire port. USB 2.0 transfers data @480 mbps while firewire400 transfers @ 400 mbps.
I think you need to correct the statement as it sends a wrong message and specially when you mentioned it in the negatives of the product.
PS : Dont tell me that you were refering to the firewire 800 port as none of the ipods charge thru the firewire800.

USB 2.0 does not sustain 480 Mb/sec, it is more of an initial peak while firewire (400 and 800) has sustained speeds of about 400 Mb/sec which roughly translates into about 1 GB/min.
