Am I the only one who thinks the shiny coating is a dumb idea? Sure it looks nice, but the second you touch it it's going picking up fingerprints. Every glossy device ever has had this issue.
the point is that the current nanos have a really nice matte aluminum finish, so this is a huge step backwards to go to glossy.
Seriously, every single device that comes out with a glossy fingerprint-magnet finish gets ripped upon by every single reviewer, yet apple just goes and does this. seriously, wtf.
i'll be sticking with my current nano that's for sure.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.

...check the iTouches, shiny silver backs. Even in my rubber case its getting scratched up. Whats the point
Just get your current nano and varnish it. Are apple trying to get people to call them turd polishers?
