Cracking is not a major issue AFAIK.

Christ, people, be careful with your electronics. Of COURSE keys and sh!t are going to scratch the hell out of it.

My Nano has scratches all over it. Why? Because I put it in my pocket with keys. Do I care? No. As long as it plays music and I can still see the screen, scratches doesn't bother me. If I cared about scratches, I would have bought a cover for it and not put in it in my key pocket. I'm not going to baby a $250 electronic toy.

First, Apple has sold millions of units the moment it was announced. Even a miniscule percentage of that can be made up of hundreds if not thens of thousands of STUPID USERS who had put their shiny new product into a pocket full of change and keys and scratched it up. When hundreds and thousands of people complain even out of a billion users, a tiny fractional percentage, it is still going to make the news and it'll make any perfectly great product look bad.

Idiots. All of them.

Who cares if apple users buys it for the looks? The scratches hurts the functionality either way. Why not just by a crap shuffle with no screen if you don't give a crap about how the screen looks? Half the price.

Let's see.

Does the shuffle have a screen? No.
Does the shuffle support 2GB or 4GB? No.
Does the shuffle have a click wheel? No.

Quit knocking the Nano until you can show another product with comparable features and specifications for a similar price.

Funny that those knocking it are desperately looking for anything and everything to discredit the Nano. And they don't even own one!

Did you even read the article?

Maybe you should read these too..
"I don't really care if the case on my Nano gets scratched but my screen has scratched up so badly that all the images are starting to become distorted," Cason wrote, echoing the sentiment of many others in the discussion. "I have only carried it in my small pocket in my shorts and nothing is in there to scratch it. I still can't figure how the screen looks like it has been rubbed with sandpaper when the entire time it has been safe in my pocket (with absolutely no items)."
Keywords: NOTHING IS IN THERE TO SCRATCH IT!
It's not getting scratched by keys, it's getting scratched when people just clean it with their t-shirt. What mp3 player does that? The creative zen I have now sure doesn't. :roll:

It just astonishes me how dense you guys can be. Please, educate yourself with the issue before you come in and tell everyone they're wrong and insult them.

Don't pay these tools any attention. Threads like these are the few opportunities in their pimple-farming life that these technerds get to feel superior. Oh, they know how to keep their ipods scratch free, only because their little gadgets are the only things they worship. If only their hygeine was as important to them..

It's astonishing that even YOU believe that. Unless the Nano is made of soft wax or something, it won't get scratched under normal use. These people are abusing it and just whining and coming up with excuses to get theirs replaced. There's no doubt about it in my mind.

lol..
hmm either deathkoba is dilusional or the thousands of people that wants to get it replaced. Let's see.. what other mp3 player had NEWS sites with articles dedicated to how easily the mp3 player gets scratched? That's right, nil.

you are wrong. sorry. nothing you said made any sense or even applies to me. having an opinion and having intelligence are different beasts. apparently you dont understand what its like to be responsible and careful...worshipping the nano is not necessary to keep it from being scratched. all it takes is a functioning brain.

 

Another blah product I will never own.

Maybe it will cause them to upgrade the front plastic...

WSJ says Apple to replace iPod nanos w/ cracked screens (AAPL) By Michael Baron
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Shares of Apple Computer (AAPL) slipped in pre-market action early Wednesday. The stock fell 44 cents to $53 on volume of 43,075. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the company has responded to reports of defective screens on its new iPod nano music player products, saying it will replace the items. The iPod nano, which uses flash memory, was launched earlier this month, replacing the company's highly successful iPod Mini music players. The Journal quotes an Apple senior vice president as attributing the cracked screen issue with the nano to a "vendor quality problem" and saying "less than one-tenth of 1%" of the devices were affected.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Apple Computer Inc. has acknowledged customer complaints about flaws in its iPod nano digital music player, saying one problem is a "real but minor issue."

Early iPod nano customers have filled several Internet sites with complaints about broken and scratch-prone LCD screens.

Macworld magazine late Tuesday quoted Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, as saying the broken screens were due to a "vendor quality issue" that affected "less than one-tenth of 1 percent of the total iPod nano units that we've shipped."

Schiller said customers who had broken screens could receive replacements.

He also said Apple had received few complaints about screen scratches, and that the iPod nano screen was made of the same materials used in other iPods. He said if customers were concerned about scratches, they should use a case.

The comments seemed to satisfy some of the users who had complained about the problems.

"I am very delighted to see Apple take this issue seriously," Matthew Peterson, an iPod nano owner who set up a Web site to collect photos of damaged iPods, said in a statement on his site.

"It is sad that it took a Web site and a lot of publicity before they finally investigated, but at least future nano users with the same problem I had will not be subjected to the same treatment that I was."

Apple introduced the iPod nano earlier this month as a replacement for the iPod mini, offering a two-gigabyte version for $199 and a four-gigabyte model for $249.

Apple's iPod line commands roughly 75 percent of the market for digital music players and provide one-third of Apple's total revenue. Apple shares opened down 44 cents at $53 on Nasdaq.
