New iPod Re-sets Bar

Home run. And everyone was talking about the phone. Heh.

Apple just re-set the MP3 player agenda. The $200 space now is flash-based, with a color screen. And very small. The "Nano" is thinner than a RAZR or a Shuffle. It does fit in your jeans' change pocket.

2GB and 4GB is plenty - as we said with the Mini, most people still don't have more than 1,000 songs in their collections. The Mini outsells the Shuffle and the White models, folks. Colleague Michael Gartenberg's take.

If only there were an iTunes subscription service...
