I saw apple released new versions of the iPod today for the nano, classic and a couple new ones. They look like iPhones...
I think Apple has a deal with clothing and accessory manufacturers, since the new size will require new holders, armbands, etc.
I am still on the fence, but wanted to find out if anyone else felt a little used or abused about iPods.

I don't understand why a MINOR cosmetic update to a consumer electronic gets so much attention... they announced these on the 6:00 news the other day!

Apple has good appeal :)
The new ipod nanos look fat. I'm not a huge fan of the sort of rubber look, but I'll have the see them in real life.ipod classic - can't decide wether it's dumb or genius naming, but I like that they have 80/160 gig models. Good for a lot of movies and music.
ipod touch - waste of my time with 8/16 gig versions. Buy an iphone for that.

They're on the news because Apple products are huge now, particularly the iPod. Most people's first purchase from Apple is the iPod.
I suspect the Nanos will look great in person, but it definitely looks shitty in the pictures. When they first came out I thought the pictures were fake, so it sucked to find out they were real. I guess it's good I have a second gen. Nano, but I was planning on purchasing a new Nano soon.
Anyway, the prices are good enough that I will always be able to buy one. Although the iPod Classic and iPod Touch are nice, they're out of my budget (especially since I have a nice, working Nano) and I have no need to carry all that music. Also, 8GB sucks for iPod Touch. The 160GB that comes with the iPod Classic is a huge difference, although it's obviously more for music than other apps (and the Touch has apps + music)

i thought that they would at least put a widescreen on the ipod classic. and they don't have anything in between for capacity. it goes from 16GB to 80GB, no 30 or 40GB iPods.

(Sep 6 07, 14:07)Its just a consumer product no? If you don't have an iPod and you want one you're in the market for one. I have an iPod photo from like 2 years ago, so I don't need a new one, so I don't feel used by apple cos I bought a product and it has been changed and updated.
Time stands still for no one, neither people nor technology and its no use being upset by the fact that technology has advanced.
that being said, the new nano looks like something that a disney robot pooped out.

If you ain't got an iPod youm a loozer!
I gots it on my Cv.
Seriously though, the Nano is supposed to look the bollocks in 'real life'... mad thin apparently, indeed the piccies don't do it justice.

And yeah, we really needed another thread on this.
Pfft.

i think the old Nano is better :/
iPod classic could use a keyboard like iTouch (as i call it) & notepad App at least.

just when i was hoping for another ipod thread...

Nano's look lame as hell.
Also, the images on the Apple site suck. Can't they put actual photos up on there? If the ipod classic is all metal, I want to see exactly what it looks like, the black version especially.

nanos look like my arse

i personally think the iphone is a little weird to use as a phone, but i love the way it connects to the web and runs safari.
i could see myself being suckered into the new itouch just to be able to check my email without lugging around a laptop.
On the other hand, the last thing i want these days is another device and a charging cable to look after.
Also, 8GB and 16GB blows balls. I am pretty pissed at apple for that. They know it sucks, and they know people will pay more in another 2 months when they release the 60GB model.

Which case is better?

Oh no!!! Another Apple thread on non-sustainable, non functional, badly designed products!
Marketing suckers!!!
- Jaline0
Yeah, I think the second one won't get fingerprints all over it. Thanks.
