Ipod Nano

Michaelz · Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2005 10:02 pm Post subject: Ipod Nano

When do you think the price will drop? I'm probably gonna get one since they are so small and sexy but the price is pretty high for the 4gb one (no point getting the 2gb tbh). I reckon after christmas or something like that.

There are two colours with it black and white and i'll probably get the white one. The black one does look better imo but the headphones and charger etc are still gonna be white (damn u apple) therefore it looks stupid, also if you scratch it you'll notice the scratch more on it than the white one. I'm glad that the battery life is improved, not like them crap mini ones. The only small complain i've heard so far is that the screen scatches pretty easily, i guess i'll just have to buy a protecter....

I know you're getting one for free(ish) James...I hate you Smile

And, I chose white Wink

Nah black all the way, i think there good, i mighht get one, but apparently they scratch really easy and the screen cracks easily and also they are a limited edition so you only have until the offer ends to get replacement screens and such so if you break it after that you can't replace it

edit: and this free ipod thing,i looked it up and its something called pyramid advertising and apparently illegal Wink

Screen cracks easliy? Michaelz didn't you have that article about testing it's strength where they dropped it out of a car window and stuff like that and it was still fine? Do you still have the link for that?

well thats what i heard, my friend's brother has one and she says its already broken twice just from having it in his pocket, im not sure u have to pay for replacements but it will be a pain after they stop producing the parts

"Apple says a manufacturing problem has left screens on one batch vulnerable to cracks and is offering replacements.

It says the problem affects fewer than a tenth of 1% of all Nanos shipped."

[BBC News]

Is it just me or are they pointless?

ah k, so only unlucky people get the bad ipods, and they arnt really pointless, cheaper than ordinary ipods, they look good and they dont make mini's any more.

Well the iPod Nano's life was kind of short lived now that the movie iPod is out. I know they are different things, but i reckon Apple could have waited more than a month before releasing the new iPod Wink

10%! wait a sec....thats....18 pounds! cooool. Anyway i was just wondering about the new video ipod and im confused about the video stuff you can put into your ipod. Can you not put normal media clips onto it etc. or can you only watch the ones from the itune store which you have to pay?

Apple aren't stupid releasing this new iPod just after the iPod nano. I bet there are millions who go out and buy the new movie iPod who have just bought an iPod Nano!
