I appreciate the ingenuity, but come on really. This "solution" counteracts the biggest advantage of the iPod Nano, which is its tiny size.

...would thank you if they could. C'mon...even you have to admit that the small FF of the nano isn't conducive for long-term video viewing.

This is an ingenious solution using existing low-tech components; now all someone has to do is apply the principle to a flatter magnifier that has an integrated set of speaker(s) and dock.
