The accelerometer in the nano may also be for determining the orientation for video playback.

Yeah, upgrading my old 20GB or 60GB iPods won't make the quality of the music any better, will it?

I know it won't make the artists I have on my current iPods any better at what they do.... I don't need an iPod update.... I NEED a new MBP !!!

I guess I'll wait a little longer.

champ01 · Sep 9, 2008, 12:12 PM

it shall not happen but then again you never know for sure

MAC TABLET want it soooooooo bad

Drinahn · Sep 9, 2008, 12:16 PM

Hmm little chance that this new nano is going to work with the current Nike+iPod sports kit I'm guessing. Does anyone recall/know what happened with past iPod updates re Nike+? Eg: when the iPod Fatty came out, did Nike release a new kit? Or was it just some kind of firmware update. Any insight people have would be appreciated.

I bought an old nano last week in case, so that if it does work, I can take it back unopened to get a new one, and if it doesn't, I can keep the old one. Birthday present you see. Grr - people need better timed birthdays.

No, it was the same kit, no firmware needed to work. I have both a 2nd and a 3rd Gen Nano, both work with the same Nike+ sensor without problems.

iPod Nano with an accelerometer? That is butt-tarded. I like cool aesthetic features, but lets spend our energy on some function as well, okay?
