• OWNERS of the new iPod Nano --- which is selling at the rate of five a minute in one High Street chain of stores --- have complained to Apple after finding problems with the portable music player's screen.
• But Apple's store in Regent Street, London, has received complaints that the colour screen scratches too easily.
• And a website, www.flawedmusicplayer.com, has already been created by disgruntled purchasers urging Apple to recall the product, citing inexplicable cases of screens cracking.
• He wrote: "The iPod was in my pocket on the way to work, and when I took it out to show it to all my friends, the LCD was cracked.
• The screen is designed to display photos and album covers but can become distorted by scratches if the Nano is secreted in your keys-and-change pocket, buyers say.
• Steve Jobs, Apple's chief executive, demonstrated at the launch of the nano that the player was specifically designed to be placed in a jeans pocket.
• Apple claims that its award-winning design team have produced a screen made of the toughest polycarbonate but stores will examine requests for returns of damaged players.
• Dixons has been selling the new iPod, which weighs just 42g, at the rate of five a minute after a blanket television and print advertising campaign drumming home the "impossibly small" tagline.
• The new £90 Nintendo DS console, which features dual screens and can be connected wirelessly to 16 other consoles, is likely to be another favourite.
• Big-selling film tie-in games to feed the machines this Christmas will include Peter Jackson's King Kong, Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire and The Chronicles Of Narnia --- The Lion The Witch & The Wardrobe.
• After numerous false starts, this Christmas is predicted to see a breakthrough for affordable 3G mobile phones with Sony Ericsson challenging the iPod with a range of Walkman handsets that can hold more than 100 songs.
