After being sat on, dropped, and ran over, it's time to wash the nano. After jonkee reviewed the nano, he decided that he wants a brand new clean iPod nano.

UBS forecasts that Apple will sell 10 million iPods the holiday quarter, and if Steve Jobs had his way, the iPod nano will make up a big chunk of that 10 million as he predicts it will be the best-selling model ever.

With the introduction of the nano, analysts predict that flash memory prices will fall. The price drop might be the key to the evolution of the digital music player. Samsung might start offering 16GB NAND flash memory beginning 2006. Expect this to go into the iPod in 2006.

Everyone knows that the nano uses Samsung's flash memories but what else makes up the nano? BusinessWeek unpeels the iPod nano to see Cypress and PortalPlayer inside.

Peter Griffin of the New Zealand Herald gives the nano 8 out of 10, saying that the design and ease of use makes it a winner.
