Black Nano cheesecake!

FredsFriend · 8th Sep 2005, 09:21

Yeh the black is the shiny, and the mini was only for people that liked strapping things to their arm while exercising

4GB nano for $249 on 20GB iPod (Photo) for $299? Style vs capacity... it isn't an easy choice... Also, am I the only one who thinks the nano might snap in half?

It's ok, it's hardly "going to change the rules for the entire portable music market" though.

Also it looks too long, there's so much wasted space either side of the scroll wheel thing.

I agree, they probably have that extra space because they didnt want to make it any thicker.

the black one looks nice, still nothing special
ipods always feel to me like they've been made out of that cheap plastic that i made keyrings from in Technology GCSE

FIBRE+ · 8th Sep 2005, 10:55

BLACK fa sure, they shoulda dumped the clynical white by now really or maybe offered more colour options for all products.

Was thinking, they sound great, but like most people on here I wouldnt be able to get much on there (got 100gb+ music).

What's the top mp3 at the mo? I need a new one, me old 10gb archos is dead (cost £40 tho

).

Heard good things bout a Sony one and some of the I-river's, aint really up to date on mp3 players tho. Any quick recomedations? (dont wanna spam this tread too much)...

Sound quality (as ive got Sennheiser 580's

) and UI are important, must be 20gb or more and be pocketable and obviously a reasonable price

Hamish · 8th Sep 2005, 10:59

i really love my iAudio M3

TheEclypse · 8th Sep 2005, 10:59

I quite like my Sony NW-HD5, small enough, easy enough to use, job done. And I like the way it looks.

DeX · 8th Sep 2005, 11:10

mrhaz, why are you annoyed about the lack of colours? You already have a green iPod mini so just because this new apple product comes along doesn't mean you have to buy it.

I think they look pretty sexy as usual but also rediculously expensive as usual. Oh well that's the price you pay to be fashionable I guess.

Ah - you obviously haven't seen the Nano Tubes then. And you're not constrained to one colour, as you get all 5!

msm722 · 8th Sep 2005, 11:55

nano tubes cheesecake!!

Not a bad looking little mp3 player. But thats it, it looks cool, but you have to fork out a ton for it. No thanks, my k750i can play mp3s just fine.

r00t69 · 8th Sep 2005, 12:19

So much for the 8GB model rumoured. It'd need to be that size for me to consider moving from my current 20GB iPod but the black is very nice. Hay Black is the new ahh black

ajack · 8th Sep 2005, 12:53

Oh...yay...yet another ipod variant...woot.

I hardly see how it is so radically going to change the mp3 market tbh; it's just a hybrid of the shuffle/mini...

kickarse · 8th Sep 2005, 12:58

The Cell phone just came out too...

Nexxo · 8th Sep 2005, 14:28

Cellphone looks boring. At least they could have given it Razr looks...

And what's with the battery? Apple makes a big fuss about how the iPod battery eventually may need to be replaced. Sorry, but my Palm IIIc and T3 have Lithium batteries and they have been going for years without a single glitch or loss in performance. In fact Palm says they should last the lifetime of the PDA. How come Apple appears to have such issues with theirs?

kickarse · 8th Sep 2005, 15:17

Or made it white!

planki · 8th Sep 2005, 16:30

the black nano is the most damn sexiest mp3 player ever made just look at it!!!

the mini looks lame in comparison!

MiNiMaL_FuSS · 8th Sep 2005, 18:07

they improved the sound quality yet....?
