Yeah, double-post to share an excellent review of both the new Nano and Classic. The reviewer(s) are well-acquainted with iPod, but don't seem like boot-licking fanbois, so the review is balanced.

I especially liked a recent update:

The good news, aside from the fact that no one was hurt, is that the iPod appears to still function normally and nothing is cracked, although the screen now displays lines all over it while remaining readable. Some of you were disappointed that we left the "stress tests" out of this review, but now you have them.
