Give me a 200 gig ipod classic and i'll be happy. My 160 broke, and now I have more music than that....

not really the same pricing.
The 8gig versions have a $50 diff ($150 vs $200)
The 16gig nano vs. the 32gig itouch have a $120 diff ($180 vs $300).
According to the apple site, there isn't a 16gig itouch.
Apparently now there is a 64gig itouch, but it a hefty $400.

Then you have the bulkier ipod classic w/ 120gig @ $240-ish.
Looking at the apple site, I see now it's a 160gig unit.

Way I see it, the only need for the nano is if you use it for exercise.
It even has that built in exercise-o-meter, whatever you call it.
Even that's arguably unnecessary.

you're only screwed if you absolutely 'have' to have the latest toys.
you'd be much better off keeping your existing imp3 device,
& spending that $150-$180 on a better set of headphones, or even a portable amplifier imo.

Me in a nutshell

I have a Touch 2nd gen...but i think i'll have to pick this one up too for my runs...

BTW, I just jailbroke my touch this past weekend....BEST THING I've ever done. Makes me wonder why I didn't do it before.

BustedS13 · 09-10-2009, 12:10 AM

i used to upgrade to the newest, biggest ipod every time. had a 4th gen Photo, then a 5th gen, then the big 5.5 gen, now a 160gb classic. have had no reason to upgrade since. might not ever, as it just sits in the glove box.
also i had the first two gens of the shuffle. the new gen didn't entice me because its controls are retarded.

yup! if i had a 32 gig Iphone then i wouldnt buy any other ipod.

my music collection is only 13.gigs

no need for more space.

ronmcdon · 09-10-2009, 12:32 AM

Think the best 'workout' mp3 player is probably the Sandisk clip 8gig @ approx $75 shipped.
Seems to get good reviews.
Size is a tad bigger than i-shuffle, but much smaller than nano.
Sound quality is nicer than the nano or shuffle.
Plus, you have some controls unlike the shuffle.

Fries · 09-10-2009, 01:24 AM

I've owned 2 nanos. 2nd Gen which was stolen and a 3rd Gen that I just recently put thru the wash.

I do like the fact that there is a FM tuner on this one. I may actually pic it up. Its rough working out or even wrenching without the constant stream of music flowing thru my head.

I've been interested in other MP3 players, but I guess I'm just a bitch when it comes to that stuff. I know that the iPod is a tried and true piece so I stick with it.

If it wasn't for those people, we wouldn't have all the new things that we would like to have. I enjoy progress.

Maybe they discontinued it, because I have a 16gb one.

I'm definitely not an apple fanboi, and only have an iphone because a friend sold me it very cheap, but now I'm used to it I couldn't go back to any of my old phones.

This ipod nano does look good, but I don't really see the point in spending too much on an mp3 player when modern phones do so much. I would of thought they'd put their effort into putting these features into their phones, whilst keeping costs down.

Wow that was a time when Ipods were too expensive for most people still. Hahahaa

***enkei2k*** · 09-10-2009, 08:46 AM

man, i want to get the touch because i still have the 1st gen nano. can't seem to get rid of it though even with the crappy 3-4 hour battery life with 2gb space. now seems like a good time to buy, but i say that every year around this time when they come out with new stuff. just gotta check out the apple store and see what's good.

only reason i have one is because it was the company xmas gift last year...its pretty neat to, our company logo is laser edged into the back, makes it special...the scuffs and scratches on the other hand dont...im good with 4 gigs of music...

S14_Kouki · 09-10-2009, 09:31 AM

Theres alot of hate on here for the ipones. Well you should pick one up and play around with it I promise you will never want another phone

that's not bad setup at all.
one of my relatives recently got the same exact thing.
Wouldn't trade my 3G for it, but the extra storage, improved web browsing speed, etc is a pleasure.
Read on head-fi.org the sound quality (as an mp3 player) has improved a lot over the prior iphones;
What's your opinion on SQ of Iphone 3GS - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio
(actually a lot of discussion on various mp3 on that site)

once there's a 64gig version (maybe next yr?), I'm replacing my 3g in.
even if $$$ were no issue, its wasteful to get a new phone every year.

Yeah I was almost certain there was 16gig iTouch.
I think apple just updated all their mp3 based products (not just the nano) and phased it out.

so you hate 90% of modern america too...

i think i have a 3rd gen nano.. only b/c my 1st nano got jacked out of my car..... only paid 75 bucks too and its 8g

then i got a 2nd 3rd nano for free, b/c the screen doesnt light up.. also 8 g... so i have enough music storage yay...

and my mac book still rocking tiger... lol so behind the times

driftsilvias13 · 09-10-2009, 11:54 AM

Cool but I would never buy one. I got a 1st gen 512mb ipod shuffle I got for x-mas like 4 years back and I am still using it today. I pretty much only use it when im working out, snowboarding, and working on cars. I dont need 1000000+ songs. I just have the 100+ songs that I actually want to listen to haha.

LeftNutOfGowd · 09-10-2009, 12:24 PM

Damn I might just have to get myself a ipod nano since I misplaced my ipod shuffle

Dirty Habit · 09-10-2009, 01:53 PM

What the fuck is an Ipod?!

That shit hasn't hit the mid-west yet.

I think that goes for any smart phone. Once people get a Blackberry, Iphone, or G1 they can't go back.

I agree fully. I just got a 3Gs, I will not be buying what ever new Iphone debuts next summer. If Iphones are still offered with AT&T in two years, I might then upgrade. Then again buy then something better might be out.
