With photo and video, Apple iPod touch, nano reinforce new market ... ZDNet Blogs
Arrington’s assessment isn’t really fair, of course. The Flip — which is a favorite among pro videographers needing quick-and-dirty video but don’t have the space to drag a proper handheld camcorder or digital SLR camera with video capability — has features the iPod touch doesn’t, such as direct USB connection (no cord necessary), a hole for tripod use and a form factor that allows a user to stand it up by itself or hold it comfortably.
Ever tried to hold the glossy, apple-slice-thin iPod touch by its edges? It’s not easy.
Nevertheless, the real news here is the possibility of such features on the iPod nano , which up until now served its lightweight purpose quite wonderfully. In terms of form factor, the nano is much more suited to play ball with the Flip — it’s almost as wide (but nowhere near as thick) and has a big ‘ol button right in the center, just like a Flip.
(The iPod classic is rumored to also be the recipient of a camera, but there’s a lot more room to wiggle in that product’s frame than the nano).
