Apple iPod Nano - Incredibly small

[Tanner]

I'd rather

 

[dc]

looks like this replaces the mini?

 

[V00D00]

NOT HOT!

Does anyone know why the battery life is still only average compared with the HD players? I would've thought substituting flash for a HD would give more than 2 hours of battery life compared witha HD mp3 player...

 

[davidsi]

probably cuz its freaking small..and the battery is small as well

 

[everman]

I read that it had a 1" hd, looks good. I'd consider it.

 

[jm0ris0n]

Its flashed based. And yes, I think this (sadly) replaces the mini.

 

[usernamemax20charact]

Hmmm.....

4GB iPod Nano for $249 or 6GB iPod Mini for $249?

I'd rather take the 6GB Ipod Mini.

 

[ClimberRich]

Definitely Hot!

Just not cheap!

Wish I hadn't bought a 40gb Ipod color.

 

[kitkit201]

im keeping my 4gb ipod mini.. keeps me going and idont look at the screen that often.. but color would be really ncie!

Go Apple for revitializing the iPod line!!

And the new iTunes is out! 5.0!

Any Canadians? Nano is 249CAD for 2GB and 299CAD for 4GB but...
Add the 4GB to your cart and it drops to 249CAD (~210US).
Doesn't look like it ships to U.S. but may be hot for y'all up above.

Go here http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/canadastore/
then click on the Nano image/logo to get to product page.
select the 4GB Black or White
engrave or not
add to cart
look at price

i have a dell axim x50v with 3GB of space. But this ipod nano is awsome in every way. size, battery life, and the coolness factor

also, for 1/2/3G iPod owners, you also have that GC coming in (if you opted for GC) so it might be worth waiting for that.

He's talking about battery settlement

apple keeps making it's ipods smaller and smaller. the reduction in size is negated by the necessity of a case to prevent scratches. i wish they'd build a more scratch resistant surface.

If all the iPods require cases, then they are still becoming smaller and smaller.

I agree with the scratch-resistant statement though. The mirrored finish on the back looks nice until you pick it up and get your grubby fingerprints all over it.

exactly. what's the point of making the finish look so nice if you need to cover it up 99% of the time while using it.

This is a step in the right direction for Apple. I know dozens of people who have broken their iPods due to abuse and the fact that most people don't realize how fragile HD-based players are. I already own the Creative Muvo Micro n200 and am quite happy with it. While only 1gb it still has many advantages which deserve highlighting:
Muvo n200:
True Plug & Play -- unrestricted access to mp3s and files, acts like a thumbdrive
Easier Loading -- No need to use syncing programs, just drag and drop directories/files -- each directory is a playlist
Smaller -- Muvo n200 is much lighter and still less than half the size of the Nano
Removable Battery -- I like the fact that I can carry extra AAA batteries for long trips, I use rechargeable batteries and they last about 10-12 hours each

The one major flaw with the muvo is that there's no bookmarking feature for huge mp3 files. I'm curious to see how Creative will respond to the Nano. And also, doesn't Creative now legally own the patents to some of Apple's technology?

Awsome first post, welcome to the forums!

 

[rasputinj]

of course apple will come out with the Nano, less than a month after I get my Mini iPod. Looks pretty cool, does anyone know if Apple is really shipping the nanos or is just preorders?
