Cnet has some news on how not all is light and happiness in ipod nano land.

‘ The most widespread complaint about the otherwise highly-praised device seems to be that the color display screen gets scratched extremely easily. …

 I don’t really care if the case on my Nano gets scratched but my screen has scratched up so badly that all the images are starting to become distorted,” Cason wrote, echoing the sentiment of many others in the discussion. “I have only carried it in my small pocket in my shorts and nothing is in there to scratch it. I still can’t figure how the screen looks like it has been rubbed with sandpaper when the entire time it has been safe in my pocket (with absolutely no items).”

But this week several users also started complaining about screens cracking, or failing, inexplicable. A Nano owner set up the site, flawedmusicplayer.com (formerly ipodnanoflaw.com) to tell the story about how his Nano screen shattered after just four days, to see if others have had the same problem, and to suggest that Apple recall the Nano and use stronger screen product.

“It is way too fragile. Apple markets it in a pocket. Hell, Steve Jobs himself pulls it out of his when he announces it,” wrote the site host, who himself was smitten with the Nano upon its release. “It was in my pocket as I was walking and I sat down. No, I didn’t sit on it.”’
