I agree, it does basically look like a stretched out/squished mini, but eh. I never really liked the look of the mini, but whether you like it or not.. if you care about your iPod at ALL it will be in a case, yeah?

I had the 4GB black 1stgen nano, and I traded it out for the 8GB 2ndgen (also black, duh). It was the same price and I was still on my 90 days for the first iPod, so with Radio Shack I got an even exchange.

The screen definitely is noticeably brighter, the battery has lasted me since I got it (a week after it came out) on the first charge, and there actually are a lot of new features. The earbuds are nice, and I love that they snap in - if you drop it, the earbuds don't just pop out, they stay. And the old earbuds were really uncomfortable, I like these a lot. Plus the extra storage.. I can't tell you how happy I am. I was happy with the first iPod, and now I've got a much better one.

I wanted a pink Ipod Nano
But now I want a playstation portable.
But I also want a Helio (Myspace phone)

Oprah and Bono just came out with a new RED ipod nano.

its weird howcome they never released this color before and now its studdenly hott. i dunno i really wanna buy it cause its red. and 10 dollars goes to people in africa.

^it's not "suddenly hot." red has been an incredibly popular color since the beginning of this season.

i've always loved red though.
i've got firetruck red shoes, am currently wearing a firetruck red sweater, and my room walls are firetruck red as well.

hooraay

I'm thinking of buying an iPod...I'd like the capacity of the iPod Video, but the appearance and size of the Nano, so I dunno...I'm thinking of going with the Video, but I'm still unsure.

Anyone who has the new iPod Nano or improved iPod Video, would you recommend buying either one? Any pros and cons you have?

this ipod shuffle and nano looks better
but its getting smaller and smaller
it is so small it will be easier to loose
therefore you buy another one and make the company more richer
Don't get me wrong i like ipods its just that i wouldn't buy a new one.
I have the ipod nano and as long as it works and plays songs... Im alright with the old one... im not updating it just for the fashion =P

i own the firstgen [black; 2gigs] & secondgen [sliver, 2gigs] and i like the second gen more =)
brighter screen, longer battery life, and more scratch resistant than the first.
and the headphones, they're much better than the first one they released.
the bass doesn't die out&become a rattling annoyance after the first five minutes of using it on full blast. :D
apple's selling them for $30, or so.
the only thing that sucks is that there's not that many accessories out for the secondgen [that i've seen] and you can't use many firstgen cases on secondgen, or it'll just.. eh. fall off/be loose. unless you use a leather one. but who needs a case if it barely gets scratched? :)
