New iPod Nano (Video) Options

[Phil2thejay]

I rate it 8/10
I just baught it yesterday and I love it.
I recomend getting it.
The only downfall is that, yes the screen is tiny. But it is still visible.
It fits in the palm of your hand. Its like holding a ipod mini thats like cut in half.
I douno just my opinion.
I have the black color for 8GB. $200

Eh.. I held it when I went to the apple store. Personally, I don't like it. I posted this on another forum but I'll put it back here:

The good:
1. Video - Hey, you can finally watch videos.. on your nano. Although people have told me that you can hack the older one(s) and watch video on it. Hmm..
2. New menu interface - Oohh background. Instead of all white
3. Screen quality - Hey, with higher brightness and and image quality is sleeker
4. The Front - it's dull, thus allowing people to grip it more easily. It sucks to hold it and then suddenly have it slip out of your hand -- so some people might like the front case. At least it will scratch less (or even none at all).
5. Price drop - Yep, it's good that you all waited, right? Those who always wanted an iPod nano but couldn't fork over the moneys, now it's cheaper!

The bad:
1. Wider - I, along with some other people, much prefer the vertical rectangle as opposed to a.. square. Some say it fits better in your palm if it's wider, but it fits better for me if it's longer.
2. Video - Why in god's/buddha's/allah's/whoever's name would you watch video on the tiny thing? I mean I though it was cool that I have video clips on my phone, but even so it's still too small. It's worse with 16:9 video, since the screen is for 4:3 ratio video.
3. the BACK - They reverted back to the original iPod nano 1G design by having that mirror back. It gets scratched so easily. When I came back from Hawaii and saw the new iPod nano 3G at the apple store, it was already SOOOOO scratched up on the back. it looks worse than my black iPod 1G. It was a bad design to begin with.
4. the FRONT - It's not as sleek as the 1G or the 2G. Albeit the 1G iPod got scratched much mor easily due to the high gloss during moderate usage, it was still cool. The 2G hardly even gets scratched, with its casing paying homage to the ancient iPod Mini.
5. Screwed - yea, those who bought the iPod nano 2G are kinda screwed. But not as bad as the iPod 1G people! Man, apple just keeps milking us of our moneys!


BUT that's just my opinion...
