    CoverFlow in iTunes 7 is nice, but the new advanced browser modes only works in the library, and not on connected devices (such as iPods)... which is crap, cuz I've got all my music on my iPod, and none on my computer. So these new browser modes do me nothing



    (I've got a powerbook, that's why I can't have any music on my hard drive.. it's full of work, all the time, and Photoshop is eating gig after gig each time I work with it.. so.. )

    They could have changed to iTunes Media Store in my opinion. So we could keep the acronym.

    I was thinking the same thing, but then remembered that media also means blank recordable media, so they may have wanted to prevent the confusion some might get trying to find it on the site, or having it show during Google media searches.

    I think that there is too much name power behind iTunes to cut it from the store name. Though it obviously doesn't fit the current if you think about the make-up of the word; the fact is that "iTunes" (the term) is now defining the store and the whole user experience, not the other way around.

    Sorry Melgross, but if that's what it is, it really does suck. I just assumed you were Kissing Shetline for his brilliant suggestions. My, this has gotten a little to friendly for me!

    I got those figures directly from the Apple technical specification pages for the old and new Nanos.



    Old: 1.5 oz

    New: 1.41 oz

    Or, as an old boss of mine used to say:
