false truths is a generalization about us being supposed knowitalls on all things Mac. It was a direct insult to you.

Directly insulting someone is against the forum rules so I should really be reporting you right about now.

I dont even see your need to insult me, I was simply stating its quite obvious there will be some sort of iPod nano update today... :confused:

If they made ones that didn't fall out of your ears they wouldn't fit in some other peoples ears. One size fits all his it's limits. That being said, for what Apple charges they could include a pair of decent phones.

Just some "proper" in ear phones with 3 sized flexis would do. Its those flatbed earphones i cant stand, cheap as chips, many find painful to start with, and many others have issues with them staying in.

They may as well not bother and knock a fiver off the price tbh.

forget that.

tap the button to play or pause. flick up and down to control the volume. flick left and right to 'scroll' through the album choices.

might not be fine tuned enough to let you pick the song but you could pick the artist and album at least

I would be shocked if we don't see some new implementation of touch tech in the new products. Although as others pointed out touch won't replace some things about current usage of current iPods. they did the R&D for it already so it would just make sense to include it across more lines, not as a replacement but perhaps as an enhancement.

Then again maybe it will, after all who the hell am I to say what can and can't be done?

My bad. THAT WAS A TYPO. I meant to say wasn't a direct insult. My sincere apologies. Trying to type to fast. If you wait too long, your post ends up 6 pages down.

I can't wait!!!! :D

You're gonna wait alright, and then some.

See, just because the event starts soon, it doesn't mean there will be any useful info in the first 30-45 minutes. Steve will go on forever with the stockholder smooching BS along the lines of "I'm proud to say that iTunes store has now sold over one billion million trillion songs...", "We have sold 50 million iPhone 3G on Iceland alone..."

Everytime there's an Apple keynote I forget about the actual structure, but as soon as it begins, I remember how incredibly anti-climactic the first half hour is. I wish they could do that **** at the end because it always kills the excitement for me. It's the same sinking feeling I got halfway through my first viewing of The Phantom Menace; 16 years of hype, anticipation and buildup culminating in a tedious snore-fest, and by the time the pod race actually started I was alread so bored out of my skull that no amount of earblasting sound FX or CGI wizardry could pull me back.

So... basically you already left? Did you use the main or the emergency exit?

And the jack is coming out the bottom, fitting in with the leaked photos, so it can't be a classic or an iTouch or iPhone... hmmmmmmm... even the top and bottom look a little curved (but that could just be the way the whole thing is hanging)

The iPod touch has the headphone jack on the bottom, is long, and is thin. So not necessarily true.

Does anyone else remember the in-ear headphones that Apple sold separately a few years back? I know they weren't great for everyone, but if that was the new standard shipping headphone, I would be quite ecstatic.

The boring first part seems to be when the stock goes up. After that the stock goes down as people come to the grim realization that the impossible just can't be done.

I'd say it's flat, not thin. :) the thing on the banner looks both flat and thin... but we'll see shortly...

Or just the grim realization that all the rumors and leaks were correct and we knew exactly what was coming.

they should make the Nano similar to the picture below but with a wide screen with a touch screen.
Click to expand...
The device in that image is probably too small for practical use with a touchscreen. However, I also disagree with the rumors that the nano will be tall. Apple will probably not shrink the screen size on the nano, and it does not want to make the nano that much bigger. I expect the nano form factor to see very little change in terms of dimensions, although something like a rounded back, along with the rumored new colors, would be possible.
 
Dream World

I know this is pie in the sky thinking, but am I the only person who would love to be able to access the internet wherever I go? I know Apple wants to protect the iphone, but I for one am very happy with my Verizon phone service and don't want to switch to ATT. I own a 32g touch and would gladly pay a reasonable monthly fee to be able to access the web whenever and wherever. They could give that contract to Verizon since ATT's network is already at it's limit due to new iphone subcribers.

Just a dream:D
