Nano, Oh Nano! I’m in Love. (Lust?)
Apple continues to up the ante in cool, with its next gen Ipod, Nano. It’s all about (good) design, baby. And, I’m deeply, deeply envious that my friend and collaborator Roxanne at Bare Feet Studios had one of the first in Hawaii (thanks to her partner, Shane.)
Putting aside my personal feelings, the Time article (link above) well describes how design integrated with blazing technology (beauty and brains) makes for a great business strategy. Of course, Jobs is gambling (as Time points out) - but no guts, no glory and he’s got the dollars to do it. It all makes sense to this cynical marketer (But then, I could be blinded by - um, ahem - love. Yeah, yeah, that’s it, love.)

I love the nano! One of my co-workers has one and of course came to rub it in my face and show it off. The thing is so little! I also like the fact that you can get it in black. I got an Ipod for my boyfriend last year for x-mas and he works with cars all day so it would have been nice if it were black. It always has grease and oil fingerprints all over it. I have a shuffle which i’ve used a few times. It’s alright, I would definitely get more use out of an ipod or nano though.
anyway, where I came from…. I read the article in NMBW and thought I would check out your blog. Very nice, you have a lot of interesting topics here. I am currently taking business classes at TVI and eventually moving on to a University to get my Marketing degree so I will ve checking in regularly. The more I could learn the better
