Nano Nano
So you probably have seen the MotoRokr and the nano by now. The two latest releases by Apple this week. While the ROKR seems to be getting lackluster reviews, the nano seems to be doing quite well.
For those of you who can read japanese or who like looking at nerdy photo's, here's the most "in depth" review of the nano i've seen so far.
Upon breaking open the nano, they revealed that the nano is powered by 2GB Samsung Flash memory chips. This kind of makes it the result what you would get if the entire iPod family got together and had a baby.
Shuffle: Flash memory Long Battery Life
Mini: Screen and Click Wheel in small Form Factor Long Battery Life
iPod: Color Screen, White Translucent exterior.
Overall, I can't help thinking I want it although I know I don't need it.

Jesse, you forgot to ask which one would be best for me.

You should get the nano.
smaller form factor, color screen.
Hard disk: Same thing you have in your computer. A metal disk spinning around with a magnetic head reading and writing data off of it.
Flash memory: A chip with no moving parts with a bunch of little electical switches that store your information.
Flash memory is smaller and takes less power.
