new iPod Nano G2, very ugly Options

[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)

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!IMAGINARIL...]

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!
But it doesn't fit into any of the old cases anymore, right?

[Serendipity]

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!IMAGINARIL...]

^ 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

[Serendipity]

^ ITS AWESOMER THAN THE ORIGINAL IPOD NANO THOUGH!

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

[*WHIMSICAL 0NE*]

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.

[*salcha4u*]

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!IMAGINARIL...]

^ 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.

[*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.
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.

[Jeng]

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

[think!IMAGINARIL...]

^ A cube iPod?

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.

[IceMouse]

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.

[BonneVache]

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.

[smoke]

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

[*Funkadelic Kiss*]

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

[*suddenly she*]

Man wtf? I can eat that shuffle without chewing.

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.

[ANG33ZY]

Lol..

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

[*x1227x*]

i'd prefer the ipod mini.

[*RiC3xBoy*]

Omg, WHEN IS THE IPOD GRILL COMING OUT.

[pandamonium]

Omg, WHEN IS THE IPOD GRILL COMING OUT.

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.

[Trinie]

there was never a cube form of he ipod. lol

[moorepocket]

i hate that apple is coming out with new products. Do we just buy all of it?

[pandamonium]

i hate that apple is coming out with new products. Do we just buy all of it?

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.

[gojira]

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?

[thanhmai]

^ ITS AWESOMER THAN THE ORIGINAL IPOD NANO THOUGH!

The new one has 24 hour battery life, so that'd be enough to last a whole flight.

i'm sad. i got my nano 4 months ago.
and the battery life sucks

[*mipadi*]

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.

[uLoVeMikeRoch]

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.

The Mobiblu Dah 1500i

[claycrrl]

i don't like it, id rather have the shiny black or white ipod!!

[dinoooRAWR]

Man wtf? I can eat that shuffle without chewing.

hahahahahah

the shuffle .. looks weird.
the new nano looks EXACTLY like the mini but smaller.
the 24 hours is good, but im perfectly happy with my nano.

[pandamonium]

Hey does anybody know a cleaning solution that covers up the scratch marks on my nano?

Cause i have really small scratches, but they still bother me even though they are still so small.

im trying to find something for mine too.
but go to like circuit city and they have the plastic covers for like $5. theyre precut to fit your ipod. if you go to best buy theyre $20 and they arent precut

[Trinie]

i love them! i want one!!! what if they came out with colored IPOD VIDEOS????~~ omg that'd be so awesome!!

iDrops.
Those are supposed to work really well.

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!!!!

[pandamonium]

thanks for using half my bottle

[smokescreen]

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. :)

[*Libertie*]

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.

[Anna-x-chan]

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.

[*suddenly she*]

^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

[Siena Jade]

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?

[AimeeLynn]

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

[deactivated]

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? :)
