I find the horizontal halving of the new nano's face between screen and scroll wheel, along with the halving of the screen vertically to be poor composition. They've drawn and quartered the nano!

When you browse song titles, the "list" part fills the screen.
Still, I agree that it looks weird halving the screen...I like your two-third/one-third arrangement better, to be honest. But I like the rest of the new iPods' subtler interface tweaks, like Cover Flow and the Apple TV-esque "Now Playing" screen.
To a certain extent, it seems like Apple changed the iPod nano and iPod classic just for the sake of change.
