The drastic change of shape with the new generation of nano has brought out new ideas for accessories. After going from tall and skinny to short and fat, the nano now vaguely resembles  the face of a watch. So obviously the race is on for who is going to have the hot new wrist-mount accessory.

Honestly I don’t even think that the demand for a wrist case would even be there, but the idea is still being tossed around. People were doing just fine with their arm bands and pockets, I’m not sure if they want to wear their iPod on their wrist. Let alone the obvious flaw of everyone having wired headphones. The crossover from wired to Bluetooth hasn’t happened yet which is a huge knockdown for that accessory.

People I know don’t want to wear an accessory for their iPod on their wrist; people like to wear watches on their wrists. I see a lot of potential in the idea of a watch doing other things then just tell time, though, and I wouldn’t put it past Apple either to think about the possible “iWatch”.
