OK, with all the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the likes of Thurrott, Enderle, and analyst Shaw Wu about yesterday’s Apple announcements (I think these guys are wrong), I thought I’d lighten things up a bit with something that struck me about the new nano design.
First, they all have a black band around the screen like the iMac.
The silver one takes the iMac cues further, not only by matching its color (duh!), but also by having a black scroll wheel (except for the black nano, the others have a white wheel). I find the silver nano’s black wheel stands out like the Apple logo on the iMac, making quite a family resemblance.
See for yourself:

Nice spotting!
It’s such a coincidence that I have a silver iPod nano 5th gen, and I was thinking of getting an iMac!
What do you think of the iMac?
Good sleuthing!
I would love to see Apple integrate a pivot. I used to have one [Radius Pivot] with my Duo Dock set up and loved it.
I think the iMacs will definitely see a case redesign by MWE09
Luis,
Nope, just suggesting that the silver nano reminds me of the aluminum iPod.
As for portrait monitors, I think I’d rather my iMac be 1200 x 1920 rather than the reverse. I much prefer vertical to horizontal space.
I believe it’s time for the Radius Pivot to make a comeback. 🙂
Are you suggesting that the October release of new Mac hardware will include “rainbow iMac models”?
Or that the new iMac will have the monitor in portrait mode?
Yes, I see your point. Good looks runs in the family.
