iPod Nano

[SingleDoubt]

holy shit...

http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/

i want one.

[Blared]

I already made a topic about this in the general forum.

[burntheaction]

they look nice, yeah. but what's the point? they only hold 1000 songs.

[b e L I E v e]

i just had a wet dream about this

I want one so bad...i think im going to return my mini, 200 bucks...and buy the 4 gb nano...for 250...hmm

[FstFtsVsFences]

They're so stupid.

[ImJerry]

I don't like them. I wouldn't want an mp3 player small enough I can lose in my pocket.

[Sean McGeezer]

1000 songs, what does that even mean? Could I put 1000 Godspeed You! Black Emperor songs on it?

[Hilikus]

1000 songs, what does that even mean? Could I put 1000 Godspeed You! Black Emperor songs on it?

haha, at least it runs pretty cheap

[Scott Weber]

Overpriced. At least it's a better idea than the shuffle.

[Trainsaw]

i want one, but i got a 20 gb one and i'm wating for the next gen 40 gb

[xglassjawx]

I will be getting an ipod for my 18th! Can't wait

[TheOtherAndrew]

Yeah, I'll stick to my 60 gig thanks.

[marrost]

Yeah, I'll stick to my 60 gig thanks.
Yea because they are really trying to get you to switch...

Not everyone has a huge library, this will do well.

[WakingTheMisery]

i still love my nomad.

[SingleDoubt]

I will be getting an ipod for my 18th! Can't wait
as will i, my friend, as will i

i had 2 ipods, both their batteries died, and then this summer i got an iRiver... i like it alot, but i definitely want a nano

[FrancesTheMute]

looks kinda pointless...... for 50 more dollars you can get a 20gig one that fits 5,000 songs.

[My.Assassin]

[lackofcolour 13]

[Katie Schmitz]

way overpriced ... and plus I'm happy with my mini; that's small enough.

[ALI.v.s.FRAZIER]

[infamous_alias]

You should all probably find this (http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/nano.ars/3) interesting.

but i dont want a 20 gig one, i dont need that much space

and i dont want one that is THAT big

and i dont want one with a regular, non color screen

And i dont want one that will not show me pictures



So. before you say something, think

Could you seriously TRY and use punctuation? It makes you look stupid, no matter what you're saying.

All 20 gigs come with color screens now.

sorry but the shuffle works perfectly for me snowboarding. it has no screen to crack or break, plus the case i bought for it is basically waterproof and damage proof and still has access to the play, forward, volume controls. I love my shuffle.

the iPod Nano looks really cool, but I think I would still go with the regular 20GB iPod just because I like to have access to all of my music, even though I know I won't listen to half of it.

Dude, I'm sorry, but having a little stick that plays mp3s with no LCD screen for $100 bucks is a terrible idea...there's no navigation, nothing...this is a technology that's existed for years and years for like 20 bucks, yet Apple just says "Life is random" and gets away with releasing a terrible product. You spent way too much money on that, man.

mmm....ipod. ill keep my 20 though...i might just get an iphone too...:)

[Capital H]

you guys, who already own bigger ipods at least, understand that one of the appeals of the nano is that it's flash based, right?

this means that you can take it running, snowboarding, skateboarding etc. and not worry about the hard drive getting ruined.

anyways, I just ordered one last night, it should come within the next few days.

i dont do any of those activities so i prefer my 20gb over the nano that you can probably snap it half with your own hands

yeah i think i might be getting a shuffle or a nano for snowboarding.. i think i may go with the shuffle so the screen on the nano dosent get fucked up

[Nick Lopez]

the shuffle was designed (i believe) for exercising or snowboarding and other such activities, where lugging around an mp3 player with a screen that could break etc. etc. is not the ideal situation. this way, you can put one cd or two cds on, and just let it play and it will be sweet. for the most part, that works. not really what i want, but some people do and it works for them.

so i was on my way out of school today, and this girl takes out a shuffle, and says to her friend next to her, "oh my gosh. my iPod almost got taken away today."

the conversation proceeds as follows..

"wait, what's that?!" (pointing to her shuffle)
"this is my iPod. well, i guess it's not really an iPod but it';s called an iPod shuffle."
"oh...how does it work?"
"well, you can only put 250 songs on at a time, but it still works."
"oh. but there's no screen, how do you know what song you're listening to?"
"well, i usually know what song it is..it's completely random, though! it's like a surprise!" (swear to god...she said it was like a surprise)
"okay, so if you really wanted to hear a song, what do you do?"
"i just skip[ through until i can get that song! it's awesome!"

and i thought, why would anyone want to have to do that? what a terrible, terrible product.

i also felt this way about the iPod nano-about how stupid it was, until i found out that it replaces the mini on the market. it doesn't appeal to me, because i have quite a biut more music than 4 GB..but to some who don't listen to that, it works out well. it's ridiculously overpriced, but hey, what apple product isn't?

and for 50 more bucks you can just get the 20gb color/photo that already comes with the wall adapter which is 50 bucks to buy and the ipod nano doesnt come with that i believe i know the mini doesnt and you get 4000 more songs

[when 4ever ends]

.....i think im going to get the shuffle.

ok for snowboarding, why would you need an LCD screen when the thing sits in your pocket the entire time? a 1GB flash drive is only about $20-$30 cheaper anyways and it doesn't play mp3's so I don't see how you can honestly tell me it is overpriced when flash drives are selling for $100.

The thing is absolutely perfect for me, I just put my favorite songs on it, put it on shuffle and press play and it provides me with hours of music while snowboarding and I don't have to worry about it breaking. I find absolutely nothing wrong with that so I'm sorry you don't like it, then don't buy one, but don't criticize others for doing so. That is just being arrogant.

.....i think im going to get the shuffle.
if you seriously are going to get it for snowboarding, i would recommend the shuffle over the Nano and get the sports case for it. The case it so nice, it seals and it is very durable so if you fall on it, it is protected. Plus it is like $100 cheaper for the shuffle and you don't even need a screen snowboarding. I love my shuffle no matter what anyone says.

okay, so some people don't need/want that much music.

why spend that 50 bucks more?

[FinchFan11]

I'll be getting one in about a month or so..
Honestly, a 1000 songs is more than enough i think. why does anyone need 15,000 songs with 60GB..good lord that is to much music you'll never listen to.

No. You're wrong, and naive for buying into Apple's bullshit. Sorry.

62 bucks, and it has a screen. AND IT HAS SHUFFLE, OMG!!!!


Life is random - bullshit. Don't you want to know what you're listening to?

[Louise Heng]

i use my mini while snowboarding. it's fine. i dunno about you guys, but even riding pipe and park and stuff, i don't usually land flat on my chest.

[ActorInThisPlay]

Then don't fucking buy the thing. If you actually read my statements, I had said that I bought it because it DID NOT have a screen to break. I also have a very durable case for it and it works great for snowboarding. I really don't give a shit if I got ripped off or not because I love my Shuffle. I like the look, feel, and the accessories that are available for the Shuffle. You are not going to change my mind on this, so can we move on now?

To quote Dane Cook, "enjoy your spaghetti, you're very egotistical."

Hey man, as long as you're ok with knowing you're getting ripped off, that's fine. People like you are the reason Apple is successful....people that know nothing about technology and pay way too much for it, because they "wuv their cute wittle white apple pwoducts."

Yeah, I know I'm egotistical - and I love spaghetti. Thank you.

I love spaghetti too. The thing is, I don't feel ripped off from it. Apple makes excellent products, so you get what you pay for. Sure I could buy a cheaper mp3 player, just like I could have bought a cheaper computer, or a cheaper car, or a cheaper TV, or a cheaper snowboard, etc, but I didn't because Apple I know makes quality products and I would gladly pay $28 more at Apple.com, just like I would pay $20k more for a BMW, if I had enough money for it.

Anyway, back to the Nano, I really want a black one, but I really don't see myself needing a 2GB or 4GB mp3 player when all I need right now would be to possibly get a new 20GB iPod because my 15GB Dell is getting old and is starting to break down.

Oh really? Did you read reviews on it compared to other mp3 players of it's class?

A quick search I did earlier today proved that it was rated the worst in it's class and has many serious flaws.....

haha oh well...I like it and haven't had any problems with it so far. I'm pretty sure that most of those mp3 players are just as expensive or more expensive then the Shuffle though. I remember seeing some Creative and Sony ones that were actually about $30 more then the Shuffle.

But when you make points, it makes you seem more unintelligent than you actually are. Actually, judging by some of the stuff you say in the sports forum, I think your punctuation might fit....I kid...

sigh. P.S. .... the iPod nano is selling poorly in it's first week, it's suspected that Apple will have to lower the price by 50 bucks.

[last light]

my sisters BF got a nano...that thing is tiny...its nuts how small it is

[funnytalkinfish]

i dont get why they didnt just keep the mini they have sold shit loads of them !

[b e L I E v e]

if they lower the price im getting it

[when 4ever ends]

scott the nano just came out and not that many people know of it yet. and as far as http://www.mp3.com/tech/top_flash_1.php that goes.. thats for the shuffle. peoples biggest complaint with the shuffle is no screen. all those mp3 players have screens- higher rating.
but this is the way apple has decided to go with their marketing
1) shuffle- no screen, randomly plays music, flash drive, cant use accesories
2) nano- screen, flash drive, cant use accesorites like iTrip (yet) due to the accesory not being able to access power from the dock connector
3) ipod regular- harddrive, accesories.


you get what you pay for. its a smart idea.

id give apple at least 4 months before we make our decision on if it fails or not.

Yeah, I know that, I posted that link in reference to the shuffle, how could you not see that? We were talking about the shuffle, not the nano....I think the nano is fucking rad, it's just way expensive.

oh i misunderstood

if they lower the price to 200 i would consider definitly getting one.

same here...i have someone now who wants to buy my mini plus my dock for 175...adding 25 bucks to get a color screen, new product, and a 66 percent smaller player is worth it
