I'm not sure when the new iPod are slated for release. I would guess a couple of months.

Don't get one now, they're unveiling new ones in 4 days.

 

[Goosemaster]

might as well wait a little bit and get the new one since you aren't paying for it....

The rumors are calling for an Ipod Nano encased in Metal and bigger standard iPods.

Definetely wait.

even if it doesn't come out in 4 days there should still be an update to the ipod line soon.

There is going to be something new coming out all the time. At some point you just have to buy something. I'm sure there is a Playstation 4 coming out but that doesn't mean I shouldn't buy something in the meantime

But I understand what you are asking, just giving you a hard time

I bought an iRiver H10 and the first thing it did was throw a blank screen. I reset it and it worked for a week, then crapped out. What's more, it didn't show up like a hard drive when I did the lame ass key combo, and the WMP special device setup is just as bad as requiring iTunes.

you should buy an ipod never

Sandisk is making some awesome MP3 players. Their Sansa line competes directly w/ iPod Nano. I'm thinking about picking up a Sansa 2 or 4 GB. My system is Apple FREE! Well, 'cause it's a PC. My PowerMac is a different story.

awesome...ill just wait then. thanks

 

[michaels]

well you just got a bad one, i'm sure there are tons of bad ipod stories out there.

It does not matter anyways because the H10 pretty much uses the same parts as the ipod mini.

I have an h10 also...i hate it. battery life is horrible and the wmp syncing is awful too

The question is still valid - should anyone buy an iPod now? Or, when will the full-screen video iPod's come out?
