iPod Nano Speed
I was playing around with the floor model of the iPod Nano at Best Buy and noticed how painfully slow it was compared to the Zune. Is there an update for the nano to improve its speed and the techs from Best Buy didn't bother to update? If that's the case, then I'm buying one this weekend for a VD present... by VD I obviously mean Valentine's Day present... not...
p.s. I just realized that Safari understands the words iPod Nano, but recognizes Zune as a misspelled word.

In many ways, cover flow doesn't make much sense on the Nano. I find that I spend too much time looking at the album art, which makes finding a particular album much slower than if I was just looking at the artist name. Cover Flow looks nice, but I'm not sure that it's an improved interface for finding your music. (and on top of that, it seems that you can't add music to the On-The-Go playlist using coverflow -- so that might be the final straw for me as far as my use of cover flow).
Slow?!
Upgrades? For an iPod?!? \
On a more serious side of the argument. The interface speed is metered to some human interface guideline, just like OS X scrollbars are in free scrolling mode. MS doesn't do that human interface tweak at all, so they look, and act faster, but you end up cursing and wasting more time trying to fix the overshoots.
