I got the yellow iPod nano thinking it would be more like the old brushed nanos with a little bit of color. Instead I open the box to discover it looks like something Elton John would wear on his head like a feather. This is not to disparage Elton John or feathers. It’s just that it’s a little bright.

You were warned. Even the color you see before you – a nice sort of orange/yellow isn’t what it looks like. It’s really shiny and my wife and I were a little disappointed.

This is it under direct light. I promise I’ll get more pictures soon.
