To date, the iPod Nano is the world's most popular digital music player, easily outselling all other iPods. Public response to the Nano was overwhelming, with over a million units sold in it's first 17 days of release -- no other music player has seen such rapid growth. But with the introduction of the iPod family's newest member, the iPod Touch, will it overtake and outsell the Nano?

The iPod Touch is aesthetically similar to the iPhone. It features the same gorgeous 3.5 inch LCD display and slick casing. The only feature that differentiates the Touch from the iPhone is the lack of the phone function. It will definitely sell well (and will sell more than any other competing player), but it will not outsell the Nano.
While it is an attractive device, it's large size is not practical for many. It will not appeal to joggers and those with jobs requiring heavy physical activities as the Touch is a fairly fragile device. Dropping it may result in a dysfunctional LCD screen, rendering it completely useless.

The fact that there are no physical buttons for playback is enough to turn a lot of people away from the iPod Touch. To adjust volume or use any playback control, you'll need to press the sleep/wake button and the home button twice, where you'll then be presented with the on-screen controls. The lack of these buttons means that you'll no longer be able to adjust volume or skip songs while the iPod is in your pocket.
