Not just a court jester, but a great discovery made by me. I found this stack of playing cards in my grandfather's drawer which instantly caught my attention. Ill tell you why...
We'll start with the Aces...First, take note that this stack of cards is easily 50 + years old and it hasnt been unwrapped. However, i had the courtesy of tearing the plastic wrapper apart and explored each card.
Here, take a look at the sides of the cards. Yes, it is in a reflective tone of metallic gold.
On the back-side of the cards, even the little tulip flowers are metallic gold in colour.
Heavy-thick and very decent cards...
The "jacks" in its classic design....
The "queens"...
The "kings"....
Heres the conclusion : This picture says it all....Hallmark !! A 50+ year old hallmark playing cards, still something pretty fascinating. Thats all for today...
Impressive isnt it...but nothing beats testing it in your hands.
Its so so wrong to call it the "fatty Nano" because its also exquisitely slim....heres the proof
A picture says a thousand words ....However again, interface wise, its perfect ! now with the integrated "cover flow" feature, adapted from the iPhone...it now scrolls through your albums seamlessly.
In terms of sound quality, the Nano portrays a fantastic range of audio...and with its auto equalizer, the sound shivers no more...
Then again, the mirrored-back of the iPod is very very prone to scratches and fingerprints. Although its looks good, but its bound to get most of your fingerprints on it....because its soo small that you can't hold it in any other way.
Another bad point is that the sync-port the earphones socket and the hold switch are so close together, you can hardly pull it out when both the sync-wire and the earphones are attached. In my opinion, the "hold" switch should be a button or a combination of keys instead of a sliding toggle switch for easy access. Heres another comparison of size with a 50 cent coin.
All in all, lets summarize the pros and cons.
- Impressive design and OS interface
