wingzero2309 Posted September 8, 2005 CID Share Posted September 8, 2005 Anyone else seen this? Take everything you love about iPod and shrink it. Now shrink it again. With 2GB (500 songs) and 4GB (1,000 songs) models starting at $199, the pencil-thin iPod nano packs the entire iPod experience into an impossibly small design. So small, it will take your music places you never dreamed of. http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/ I personally think that the nano SUCKS. I was looking to buy an iPod mini and was waiting for them to drop in prices (for the 6gb one, which is msrp 250) Now, they apparently phased out the mini's and the nanos just suck...only 4gb max but same price for the 4gb as it was for the mini's 6gb color screen? who needs a color screen on a freakin mp3 player Hopefully, iPod mini's drop in price at local retailers (best buy, fry's, etc)...if not, then it seems that I will have to go with Creative's Zen Micro (6gb) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptors892004 Posted September 8, 2005 CID Share Posted September 8, 2005 I heard that you cannot change the battery on the Ipod mini's by yourself, but you have to send them back to the factory and pay 100$ for the change with a new battery.. Is that right, or is it just a false rumor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptors892004 Posted September 8, 2005 CID Share Posted September 8, 2005 that is so gay omg f*** apple Apple is pretty good, but Creative Zen Players are pretty good too (and they can recharge via USB) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted September 9, 2005 CID Share Posted September 9, 2005 hmm... that is really dumb in my opinion.. Looks like they took the shuffle, super sized it, and then threw a screen on it... Apple does make one hell of a product.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferronickel Posted September 9, 2005 CID Share Posted September 9, 2005 yeah too much money for something, that its battery will die out. I bought a 5gb zen micro for $160 after rebates. It made sense to me 90 bucks cheaper and a lot more options and space. I wanted the 6gb, but I was tryin to save money http://www.zipzoomfly.com was the cheapest place. Idk by getting an ipod it somehow feels like I'm subcomming to the darkside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theGODl337 Posted September 9, 2005 CID Share Posted September 9, 2005 fuck apple archos and creative have been making the same damn things years before apple with the same quality and for a shit load less money apple apple is nothing but the posers and dumb blondes of computer tech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaupunkt23 Posted September 10, 2005 CID Share Posted September 10, 2005 Have you guys seen the iPod nano? It's like 80% smaller than the existing iPod photo. I know guys are immediately gonna think its a scam but check out my conga line site for getting a free one. Those free sites are real! If you take 2 minutes to check out my site you'll see there is a link to G4 TV where they actually talked about how the site works and interviewed the CEO of FreeiPods. It's completely legit and you do get one! [snip] Check it out! edit: *cough* spam *cough* i said spam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc11890 Posted September 10, 2005 CID Share Posted September 10, 2005 I actually like this one...i wasnt too crazy bout the ipod mini but the nano is pretty kool. check out this video http://reviews.cnet.com/Apple_rolls_out_tiny_new_iPod/4660-6490_7-6313021.html Is is supposely thinner than Motorola razr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted September 10, 2005 CID Share Posted September 10, 2005 Yeah i saw that episode on techtv.. interesting! However, I will not buy this apple stuff..

tbaker397 Posted September 10, 2005 CID Share Posted September 10, 2005 look on ebay or maybe an amazon.com marketplace seller. for the most part, you can save a good deal of money of you shop around enough. so my advice, shop around!

just- Posted September 10, 2005 CID Share Posted September 10, 2005 guys it looks damn good this new ipod http://news.com.com/1606-2-5853023.html just awsome i dont know how u guys dont like it battery life of 14h aint bad for that small thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptors892004 Posted September 10, 2005 CID Share Posted September 10, 2005 I'm still going with the small flash players that were on the market long before this product.. They're a lot cheaper and can have a longer life.. Plus when the battery runs out, you can just pop a fresh one in unline apple's products, which you have to recharge every 8-10 hrs.. And when the battery cannot be charged anymore, Apple charges 65$ US (tax incl.) for battery replacement.. That price is if you do not have the coverage.. So then you gotta pay either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good enough for me. True, but if you buy the nano for 200$ its not that much .. Then its best to get it off the net from some of the participation programs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
