The Apple iPhone launches in the UK this Friday, and we’re already running a comp to win one. However, you may be happy with your Nokia/Samsung/LG/Crackberry/whatever smartphone, so to win one of five iPod Nanos instead, just do this simple task and indicate which UK or Irish town/city you live in. Remember to enter your correct email address when you comment so you can be contacted. The winning answer will be picked randomly from the entries, and announced, on Friday. The competition is open to anyone in the UK or Irish Republic.
Competition: Please write a Haiku containing the word Nano and post it in the comments.
Hint: It doesn’t have to rhyme.
P.S. Yes, I know this is a totally evil competition, but it was just too tempting, sorry.

Like sunset in glass chrome and aluminum
My hands long for thee
I’m not living in the UK, therefore disqualified… But I am a Haiku fan…
