Russell Beattie writes how he isn’t impressed by the iPod nano.

I have to say I agree with him. The design of the iPod nano is amazing, it is really good looking. But from a practical aspect, these GB of flash memory would be better put in a phone. Carrying two devices is just one too much. A phone can be a perfect music player, it has the horse power, the screen real-estate and the software to run nice user interfaces.

Yet I asked in July 2004, in one of the first post of this blog, why we don’t have an iPod phone yet, and over a year after I still ask the same question. Ok, Apple doesn’t want to deal with mobile operators (I can understand them), but why can’t any of the Asian phone makers put a few GB of flash in a phone and design a clean UI for it?
