<div class="field-content"><div class="body-row" id="body-row-209632"><div style="background:#F5F5F5;"><p>In late June at E3, Square Enix tantalized fans of Final Fantasy Tactics by revealing that the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/06/24/final-fantasy-tactics-the-war-of-the-lions-coming-to-iphone/">game would be brought to the iPhone</a>. The company even announced a release date for the game: September 15th. But September 15th has come and gone now without a release for this highly-anticipated title, ... and Square Enix's response to the delay is highly unsatisfactory.</p>
<p>I played the original Final Fantasy Tactics on the PlayStation, and it's one of my all-time favorite games. I didn't play the remake on the PSP because I never really felt compelled to buy Sony's handheld. However, I was excited enough about FFT coming to the iPhone that I set up an iCal reminder to check the App Store today for the game. It hasn't shown up, though, and it's not going to for the foreseeable future. Only two days before the game's supposed release date,...</p> | <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2010/09/15/final-fantasy-tactics-for-iphone-delayed-square-enix-offers-no/" target="_blank">Read more »</a></div></div></div>

<p>"Didn't you run over the first iPod nano?" an old friend who I haven't talked to in a decade asked during our recent high school reunion. "That was hilarious." </p>
<p>His statement echoed similar ones that I have heard from both distant friends and strangers consistently for the last five years. In 2005, Apple introduced the first iPod nano, a flash storage-based successor to the then-popular iPod mini. Everyone was curious about it—it was so thin and fragile looking! Could it withstand the punishing experience of everyday use? Could it really compare to the true iPod experience?</p>
<p>That's what we here at Ars set out to discover back then when we <a href="http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2005/09/nano.ars/3">reviewed the original iPod nano</a>.
