Mossberg on Nano Scratches

Walter Mossberg:

Like the previous iPods I’ve owned, my nano has never been sheathed in a case. Like the others, I carry the Nano — by itself — in my pants or jacket or shirt pockets; or loosely in a briefcase or carry-on travel bag, in a pocket containing no other hard objects. This is also how I carry my Treo smart phone, whose screen is free of scratches after much longer and harder use than the Nano’s. My Nano hasn’t been dropped or scraped. Yet it is badly scratched.

This scratched-Nano situation might be turning into a real problem for Apple.
