Just saw pics of it today, looks like the ipod mini is gone from apple's store
now, and replaced by this guy. I really like the thin profile on this guy; I
think it will probably sell well, although I'm not sure if I will buy one yet.
With so many gadgets out there nowadays, I'm a big supporter of the "thin
is in" mantra
I apologize if there's already a thread on this... I didn't see one after
looking around a little bit, so I thought I'd start a new thread about it.

I don't think I'll buy anything from apple anymore. The ipod mini...it
well...sucks. I can't believe I got one >.>. Downloading any music is a
pain and a lot of time to learn how to do. It takes an awful long time to
re-charge , too. I really hope this one comes out better.
i've heard ipod mini will use flash memory instead of the standard mini hard
disk.
If you are talking about nano-technology, well that is not part of ipod, it's
just a modification to the ipod.
Well if you do that yourself then you might void warranty
No, I'm talking about the new ipod just released today... the ultra thin one
with the screen, which is replacing the mini... it's .27 inches thin, which is
why it's called the nano I guess...
@glassheart: Sorry to hear you've had such problems with your ipod. I've been a
keen mac fan and ipod owner since the 1st gen came out, and have never had any
problems with it (apart from a slight split down the side of a 3rd Gen one, but
it got replaced easily enough)
@tiki223: while not the ipod nano, the new NCD's look quite good, although I
have heard there might be some problems before it becomes an industry standard
(over LCDs). Although it is a nice technology, and certainly looks clean and
crisp, I don't know if it will catch on. (even the article you linked had some
problems with the ebook) heh, and I doubt you'd be able to do it yourself either
unless you were an employee of Ntera ofr a similar company and could nab a spare
compatible screen!
@rowen: Yeah, the new nanopod as I seem to be calling it now looks pretty mad.
Looks almost frail. The main thing that worries me is the fact that it has a
colour screen coupled with it's apparent battery life. I fear it might not live
up to it's quoted number of hours.
I'd like to say I'll be getting one, but really can't afford it at the mo, and
also still have a 4th Gen 40Gb that I take with me Everywhere!
Well it is pretty expensive...but the size is great news, 0.69cm thin... Well I
think I'm not gonna buy one anytime soon, maybe in the future...but for now my
shuffle does the job.
Well, after having a look, I really like it. 14 hours of battery life isn't too
bad, but with the 40+ hours on my Sony, I don't think I'll be changing. I do
think it looks very swish though and if I was buying anything from them, this
would be it.
I like the iRiver much better than the iPod, mostly because you don't have to
worry about DRM and the like quite so much, and because you can use programs
other than iTunes to transfer. That's what i've been saving my money for.
on the other hand, sony has those really nice oled screens that just blend in
with the surface.. the only thing is that sony mp3 players are twice as
expensive and the controls are so small so it's hard to use in a way.
I just recently got an ipod mini(pink)4GB last month and well..its in perfect
condition..and all wrapping and receits..etc saved up..
Is it possible that if i take the mini back to the store...that i will be able
to exchange it for a nano..and perhaps if its more then the mini..pay the
difference?
I did get a 3 year warranty on it .
I recommend taking a look at your receipt and seeing what the return/exchange
duration is good for. Usually it's 30 days... there may be some sort of
restocking fee depending where you go, but you probably should be able to.
I need some suggestions ^^'
i have much money to buy an iPod mini silver (4gb) or an iPod black nano
(2GB).
So... which one do u suggest me to buy?
And then, is it real that the iPods r rly fragile? O_o
i haven't held one yet but i did order mine... I recommend the nano over the
mini... mini is on its way of being phased out, and nano has every advantage
over it except for cost... really, it seems like the more superior product. In
that vein, I would recommend trying to get an extra $50 to get another 2 GB of
memory, since you double your memory for such a small cost.
the I-Pod Nano is very durable I've heard compared to the other
I-Pods.....especially when it uses Flash memory instead of a hard drive it's
really worth it.....hard drives could break more easily than flash memory itself
well i actuall was able to do a side by side comparison of a mini and
nano....the nano is so freaking tiny u could lose it. i would suggest if ur
buying an ipod to think how much u will use it? more music bigger ipod, less
music smaller ipod.
ipod nanos look nice. but i think it is a waste of money. people with an ipod
mini probably wont get an ipod nano because they are the same price and have the
same specs. if you were rich you probably would get an ipod nano.
Quote by orangeyI think the iPod nanos
look cool, but they're so thin that they probably break really
easily.
The nano still has the same acrylic/steel casing. After playing with one for a
while, I found it takes a good amount of pressure to get it to bend even a
little.

i say ipod RULES
how much is the nano anyway?
maybe ill buy it ...
199 for the 2 gb, and 249 for the 4 gb...
it comes in black so i placed an order
Well it is pretty expensive...but the size is great news, 0.69cm thin... Well I think I'm not gonna buy one anytime soon, maybe in the future...but for now my shuffle does the job.
Why can't they come out with a Video Ipod, with these minor adjustments
is just plain stupid. Apple is losing its edge.

Too. Freaking. Expensive.
