I think that these two flaws were worth bringing up nonetheless. I see a
large number of people who buy extra gear to protect the iPod nano. It
reminds me of screen overlays for /passé/ PDA's, operating systems that
require extra protection, or media that requires decrypting. In all three
cases, as they say, the product "Defective by Design".
