Full Version: new iPod Nano G2

xDiloveyouu

A thinner design. Five stylish colors. A brighter display. Up to 24 hours of battery life. Just about the only thing that hasn’t changed is the name. In 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB models starting at $149, iPod nano puts up to 2,000 songs in your pocket.(1)

QUOTE
The New Nano, with 8GB, is $249. fair enough. I don't understand how the 30GB regular ipod is also $249


in my opinion: its so ugly. i want to old shiny black and white back

[edit]
didn't see this but, the ipod video 5.5G is out, 80 gigs now [link]

New ipod shuffle 2G
think!IMAGINARILY
It looks like.. the iPod mini. Except wayy smaller.

I would want it.. My 2GB iPod Nano doesn't even have enough space to store my top 400 songs, let alone the other 1,600.

And it has 24 hour battery life too. That'd be useful for plane rides.

It's not that ugly. It's ok looking.

I have a question though.. Where's your source?
Nevermind.. It was at the Apple Store..

IT COMES IN LIME GREEN NOWWW! That's awesome. I wish they'd make one in orange. =/

The new iPod shuffle looks cool too.

I WANT TO TRADE IN MINE FOR A GREEN 4GB ONE! cry.gif
But it doesn't fit into any of the old cases anymore, right? sad.gif

Yeah, when I first saw it, I was like ... iPod mini ... but obviously smaller and thinner. I don't think it's THAT much different than the original Nano. I dunno.
think!IMAGINARILY
^ ITS AWESOMER THAN THE ORIGINAL IPOD NANO THOUGH!

It gets 24 hour battery life and it comes in different colors. And it costs less now.

My iPod is more colorful (the case), but I want it for the battery life and the storage space.

It's hard going on a 12 hour flight without music.. My iPod goes like 6 hours and it dies =/
The new one has 24 hour battery life, so that'd be enough to last a whole flight.
magicfann
oh please, those things are getting way to small, eventually people will just lose them rofl

Yeah, I like the color selection. (=
And it's nice that they lowered the price a bit.

They've deff. improved all the iPods.
I had one of like the very first ones. I eventually gave it to my brother and now I have one of the last just music, no color iPods. I really like it.

Holy crap, that is the smallest iPod shuffle ever. It's 3x smaller than my current one (old shuffle).

Black new Nano looks swtttt though. Kind of.

pandamonium
so mad lol. its alright though i knew they were coming out with something new later on. imma stick with my old nano its still good even though the battery sucks like ass.

how much thinner is it than the old one, imma look it up but i doubt it cant be that much thinner.

iguess they learned from their previous mistakes a little cause the battery life is supposedly longer.

but the shuffle is slightly attractive. looks oddish. but we.
think!IMAGINARILY
^ The old iPod nano was 1.6 x 3.5 x 0.27 inches.
The new one is 1.6 x 3.5 x 0.26 inches.

They also made the new one because of all those complaints about scratching.

i still perfer the glossy white nanos
pandamonium
yea i also perfer the glossy original ones, only if they were less scratch resistant and came in another colors.
treschicgeek
I'm seriously thinking about just getting this one. A 1GB used to be the same price as a 2GB. Love the price and battery life.

My regular nano only lasted like...4-6 hours if I played it nonstop. I wish it came in black though. _dry.gif
RiC3xBoy
Man wtf? I can eat that shuffle without chewing.
moorepocket
i love this one. I wish i hadn't bought the white one.
EddieV
I actually prefer this one over the original nano, the shine on the original nano shows a lot of smudge marks, although on this new one, since' it's not shiny anymore, there would be no more smudge marks.
pandamonium
^ yea same here, but the gloss part is still purdee, But imma wait for a little bit who knows they might come out with another ipod video. lol not that i need it. but they definately will come out with something new.
StanleyThePanda
Its not ugly.. The shuffle is. pinch.gif
I would never get a Nano though, because I would have too many songs.
lightsabersavvy
mm. i think the shuffle is a little unattractive.
but the nano looks cool.
i still am in love with my mini, though.

hmm it looks like the refular ipods but thiner and all

ive seen an ipod shuffle thats like 1inch by 1 inch by 1inch
IM NOTLYING. it was on mtv and i saw it in targets

^ A cube iPod? blink.gif

I just found out that it comes with the new earbuds too.



I don't like how they look. But then again, I don't like iPod earbuds at all.
joiedevie
i like the first gen nanos. i don't like the curved sides. it does look like a nano-sized mini.

the shuffle is cool, though. it's the smallest mp3 player out right now.

80 gig ipod? that's more than my computer holds!!!
WHIMSICAL 0NE
I want a new iPod!

I think I'm going to get a new car first. laugh.gif

I might be forced to buy the new high-capacity iPod(The 80GB). My 30GB Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra just ran out of space the other day(It didn't actually run out, I still have a whopping 6MB left). I've read about replacing the hard disk in it, but to open it up you need a Phillips screwdriver smaller than size 0, and I honestly don't have a clue where to find one. (Well I have a clue, I suppose)

When I first bought my MP3 player my only restriction on what I could buy was that it couldn't be an iPod. But since Creative no longer offers a comparable player with the capacity I'm looking for, I've been backed into a corner. Not even Microsoft's competing product, the Zune, which hasn't been released, will satisfy my needs.

As far as the new Nano, it simply looks like they took the old iPod mini and shrunk it. I think they'll become more popular due to the colors available, but I'm never good at predicting market trends. I was among the group with thought that the iPod shuffle was a huge blunder when it was released. Clearly, I was wrong.

Thats not an iPod shuffle, thats a MobiBlu DAH-1500. Or at least thats what I suspect you saw. There was never a version of the iPod shuffle in a cube form.

I like the way it looks. The colors are awesome. I just don't like the memory. I'll stick to my iPod Video. happy.gif

I was thinking about getting one actually. Eh, maybe I'll get one. I think they look cute _smile.gif. I didn't like the black & white Nanos sad.gif. Such plain colors.

i didn't like the shiny ipods. i can't stand seing fingerprints on shiny things... like my cello. i polish it constantly.

i wonder how long it'll take to see the new ipod nanos/shuffles?!? at school. i'm guessing a week.

the size of the shuffle is ridiculous... blech.

Lol..

I'm just excited for the 80GB iPod Video.

i cant tell if your being sarcastic but what is an ipod grill. i dont get it sorry.


BUT they should of changed the colors of the ipod video also, thats new also, it features the search alphabet bar also, and brighter screen and better battery life also, And it the price dropped also so its a new ipod all in all.

Thats actually a selling method, when they refresh everything. I work for hollister and we would get new stuff in every week which was annoying. They know kids come in just to look for new stuff and they buy it. So people want new stuff, and we constantly got in new stuff, so im guessing ipod will continue to make different kinds of ipod...
moorepocket
i hate hollister. No offense but i would never shop there. Their clothes are like "in" for one minute and "out" the next.

plus, i really thought the 30g video would be the last ipod.

hahaha the shuffle looks like a midget. the nano is okay looking because of the color selection.. and what's this i hear about 80 gb ipod?

You can't really expect a company to stop coming out with newer versions. If a product line stagnates, it doesn't create new revenue; and it's much more expensive to create a new product than redesign an existing one.

Of course, it does not go to say that, because a company releases new products, consumers must buy them, even if their existing version is perfectly functional. In layman's terms, I have an iPod that's about three years old with which I am perfectly satisfied, and have not had a desire to buy a new one.

Theres something not right about all 3 of these. The new and "Improved" iPod, the G2 and that new shuffle.

Oh wait I know what it is, they're made by apple.

iPod fanidiots and everyone in the world except me and a couple others rejoice.

Whats up with that shuffle? That thing was just a terrible idea from the start. You know whats smaller, better and has aton of more features? Without being complicated, and has a touch dial thing that you idiots love? Tactile Buttons kick ass you nubs.

It's not available at the Apple store though.

THANKS GUYS. imma go search for these idrops. lol.

I JUST BOUGHT SOME YAY. lol i will tell you guys if they work or not, they said they will ship them the same day as i bought them.

EDIT

I just got in my idrops and they worked but the catch is patience. Um it took me an hour and a half to get my scratches off, the idrops costed me 14.95 and it was fast delivery and they were really nice, they said thank you like a bajillion times through the whole ordering process. even though this took longer than life i am still happy with it. the idrops worked. just took time. and i still have more than half the bottle left.








Even though they worked it still didnt get all of my scratches, there are still like 2 scratches left but i will eventually get them out sooner or later. i was just lazy.
Trinie
^^^^ OMG zed gimmie some nowww!!!! omg.gif
pandamonium
thanks for using half my bottle

I've always like the design of the mini better, with the aluminum-ish casing. It just feels a lot better and you don't get all those fingerprints. Scratching is also less frequent.

The silver doesn't look that nice, but I like the look of the colors and the black one. I need more room than 8gb, otherwise I'd definitely consider one. :)
