Apple announces iPod nano

Does anyone know how durable a 60 GB iPod is? I've been dropping it off the balcony for an hour and it still runs. Any advice?

I really can't justify getting an iPod Nano until I break my iPod.

BUT--some consolation--apparently the Nano can't do TV out. And I do like my photo slideshows :)

As far as clogging up the board... dont worry, there is absolutely no consideration for that sort of thing by posters around here, lol. :p

No, only the real iPod is a collector's item and it's 5GB.

A perfect working one is rare, my FireWire port is shot and I had to open it up to change the battery :(

Anyone remember those rumors about Apple changing the color of the iPod to a darker color?? (silver like the PowerBooks) ...I guess they were sort of true, they are now black, I guess it was due to the success of the U2 Special Edition iPod, because like my brothers even though they didn't like the band they bought it just because of the cool color scheme :) haha

Well, the point of the lower capacity iPods is that Size Does Matter. :)

If you were that capacity mattered that much more to you than size, you wouldn't be buying the Mini anyway, you'd buy the regular iPod.

whoa...that is kinda weird. Maybe it's Steve's thumb's stunt double. Or it's a fake giant thumb designed to make the nano look smaller.

The white part is where the new nail is grown. So, clearly this thumb is from a person who does not grow, or age.

So, clearly the thumb belongs to an undead. Probably a vampire.

What we're seeing here is confirmation that Apple is in league with the vampires. Notice how the new iPod nano is black? And Steve always wears black? And Steve miraculously recovered from an uncurable cancer by drinking carrot juice?

The association has been there for a long time - just look at the symbolic bite out of the Apple. The old one used to have a red streak across it. Now the new one glows like the moon, the symbol of the night, the time of the vampires.

But now some guy in the marketing department has figured this out and he's being held captive. This is his cry for help. We're meeting just off the Interstate tonight at midnight in Cupertino with pitchforks and torches for a rescue.

It would make more sense to use stakes and holy water and go in during the daylight hours, but that's just not how its' done.

So am I the only one here that, if this was the case, would immediately sign up to join the vampire clan?

Actually, you wouldn't even buy the ipod. Just wander around with a G5 strapped to your back and a long cord.

That's an excellent point. Vampires are known to have mind control powers. Steve has the RDF. You do the math.

Wait... what's that at my window? Arrrrhhghhhh! NO CARRIER
 
I am suprised that it can't connect to the TV like the ipod photo. I thought that was a neat feature. I mean, simply having your photos with you isn't as cool as being able to show them to people!

Or am I missing something, and the A/V cables from the photo will work?

The proper ratio for the black model would have been 1:3:9. Any black monolith should be those proportions.

Of course then it would have been too thick to slide into the new in-dash receivers that are coming out that take an iPod Nano like an old cassette tape.

actually, it should be 1 : 4 : 9 .

the nano is .27x1.6x3.5 or 2/3 : 4: 9

i'd say close enough :D

edit: hey, they should do an ad with the Also Sprach theme!
 
connect to TV

I can't find a single thing that suggests you can connect it to a TV, but seems silly to not be able to. Unless they think it will hurt the iPod Photo sales.
What's the point of a 1.5" screen for photos?

Anyone find otherwise?

I'm getting a black one either way. Very nice.
 
So new colour smaller colour screen

and this impresses people jeez would have thought that maybe we would be seeing somthing a little bit more inovitive but once again apple have brought out a smaller more thinner mp3 player than its fellow mp3 pushers bah screw it ill have a black one LMAO ..


Seriously though isnt it time these things had wifi or infered or bluetooth as well as the nifty colour screens just a thought
