I'm ™ing the "iPod nano Arbuckle".

 

[uv23]

Nano storage unchanged. Bullocks! (*@&#*^@mad:

 

[WildCowboy]

That's a nice little bump...bringing the 4 and 8 GB models down to the 2 and 4 GB price points. Would like a 16 GB at the top, but let's see what else he has up his sleeve.

4 gb and 8 gb?! Is this 2006? Seriously, should definitely have more storage than that...boo...hiss...

While more would be nice, at that price point there is not too much to complain about IMO.

 

[plinden]

The new iPod nano looks pretty good. Good job Apple.

So am I the only one who thinks it's ugly?Ok, video and larger memory is good, but it just isn't well-proportioned. It looks like something Microsoft would put out.

Oh no! The reality distortion field must be breaking down!

 

[Peace]

Jobs sure likes to go to Mammoth a lot.

Maybe saving up the more storage for the big iPod...

I was hoping for a 16gb top end for the new nano.

 

[billchase2]

wow, "ipod classic"

not a bad name i guess

 

[chriswheat]

iPod Classic? Probably means there's a new iPod above it with touch.

 

[milo]

Killer nano. Looks like I'll finally be getting an iPod with a screen. Battery life is even better for video playback than on the old 30 gig iPod.

I assume it will play video via a cable? Probably have to wait until apple.com is back up for confirmation.

 

[WildCowboy]

iPod now "iPod Classic"...thinner and all metal: 80 and 160 GB.

I sense an iPod Touch around the corner.

 

[sdfd504]

Old iPod now called iPod Classic with a thinner body. 160gb now available and a full metal body.

I bet it's one of those things that looks better in person

 

[-Ussu]

i don't get the point of making nano like this!!!
Its so big and awful.
get an ipod video, if you want the features.
Nano is an SMALL mp3player with a screen, not a big wanting to be iPodvideo.

 

[billchase2]

up to 160gb! nice!

if they have an "ipod classic"... that just means the "ipod touch" will be coming next!

 

[phil83]

Anyone notice?

Anyone notice that he's not wearing his standard black turtle neck shirt? It's like a brown maroonish color

 

[queshy]

160 gb! my mbp is only 120 gb lol

 

[slu]

iPod classic??? OK. Not necessary, but if that is what you want to do....

 

[majordude]

So am I the only one who thinks it's ugly?Ok, video and larger memory is good, but it just isn't well-proportioned.

Looks kinda like the original Mac with a control button.

 

[4God]

Steve seems to be moving pretty quick through all of this, wonder if there will be a "One more thing...." coming shortly.

 

[LaDirection]

No you're not, they look terrible. And the new colors on the Nano and shuffle are pretty bad too. I don't understand why Apple is destroying their iPods in this way.

 

[jrk07]

Must be called the iPod classic because there is another iPod to be introduced in a few minutes.

 

[queshy]

no touch?

 

[ryannel2003]

iPod Classic? Uh, that's completely ugly and retarded. But whatever.

Now I've seen proper pictures of it, I think it's not that bad. Once seen in the flesh, perhaps even better.

For running the 1 and 2G nano might still be better, but since I know a lot more that buy them and never run with them, may be better for the population as a whole.
