Didn't find anything about the battery lifes on the ipod with wifi. Were they able to get decent hours usage for the ipod wifis?

That's not the response before when the new iPod nano was shown,, like 2 pages of iPod nano bashing lol

If the iPod Classic was white and not silver, I'd be all over it,, but I think I want a new Red Nano... smile.gif

tarochan
I don't like the new look for the new nanos.
Mann, the iTouch looks sexy. j/k j/k, but I still want one.

Do iPods act like mobile hard drives where you can keep stuff on them and just use a usb to connect it to another computer to take the stuff out?
crazypilovee
so much space on the new ipod classic!!! 160 gb!!!! that's better than the.. 16 gb ipod touch right, cuz that's not gonna be able to store much music... =[
**ThatGirlPhuong
^
^ Yep they can. I use them has hard drives all the time :] Very convenient.

I'm not liking the nano. Are there official pictures out yet? Like the promotional ones? Those make it look like it's the metallic/aluminum cover instead of the smooth glossy surface.
MUGETSU
Does anyone actually have 160 GB worth of music?

The most I've ever used up on music was probably like 10 GB.

160 is useful for movies...but then again if the battery is **** then it doesn't matter how many movies you have on it if you could only watch 1 before the batteries are out.

Hopefully the battery is going to be good.

---

I'm hoping battery life and sound quality (up to par with Cowon D2?) Should make this a good buy...but it probably won't happen.

sad.gif I like the ipod touch soo much! Storage needs a little work but aagh I hope they find a MAJOR flaw in it to make me hate it :[

*starts awdark's ipod fund*

the new nano colors are so cute - i want the blue one.
*looks at my old red nano*
saolaoane
awww mannn. now i have to choose between the samsung yp-p2 and the itouch. wtfff.
marianzhouzhou
what?? the iphone only came out 3 motnhs ago and already a 200 dollar drop price? those people got screwed with the 2 year contract =\
kayem7289
OMG...So much space...*Dies*
Does this mean the 30 gb is not being produced anymore?
Damn, I better sell it fast for some 80 gb money lol!
I'd probably use the 160 gb as an extra external hard drive...OMG, I'm drooling at all the space lol.
Stupid Apple, why did they have to do this right after I bought the 30 gb?

The nano's are better than I expected, they have a nice 2 inch screen. They're still going to be small in space though.
The video ipod has changed again, it's all rounded not and not flat...I don't like that...
fartsy
iPod touch is what they SHOULD have released months ago.
skip the phone features, they're nothing.

It says on their site that it only have 20 hours I think versus the 40 hours with the ipod classic. If its wrong sorry hahah but check out their site.

Wow I feel bad for the people who bought the iphone and the price went down.

Been waiting for weeks now to see when it was going to come out. I still prefer the classic over the ipod touch biggrin.gif
Nuguya?
if only the touch had more space....
ixbebe.
well this sucks.
i want a nano video T_T
vicki17
aww, this makes me want to get another Nano or get ITouch, I just bought a nano 5 month ago...
Must contain desires to get new stuff dry.gif

Those who have bought an iPhone within the last 14 days can go to an Apple store and get $200 back.

Waiting for iMod and Rockbox for the classic rolleyes.gif

yuup me too! I'm still using a 3G 15gig iPod. no color, no nothin'!

At first I thought the new nano was hideous but the more I look at it, the more appealing it is. and it helps that the 4gig is now $149. What irks me is that it only comes in one color.

And oh man, I bet iPhone users are pissed now. I think it's always better to be patient when it comes to new products

The new nanos are reminding me of the old iPod mini..

Really? They remind me of Creative's Zen Vision: M, especially the pastel color schemes.
joonage
Oh my ... The Touch looks pretty sexy ...

Too bad I bought an MP3 just this summer ...

And plus, I feel like I would kill that screen in like 2 weeks. xD
xkrndreamer
whoa the nano is now able to play videos. nice.
pammie
ipod touch: 16 gigs for $400 USD?? what a rip off....i think i'll pass
xo01Emmie10ox
the new nanos look like flatter ipod videos which doesn`t really make them nanos anymore.
angelzstar
the new nano green isn't as pretty as the older one....T_T I just hope my nano right now doesn't die within the next year
xasdfx
: o
awesome colors. i love the new shuffle colors.
too bad everyone's probably gonna get one.
don't like to have something everyone has :x plus i just got something not too long ago.
the ipod touch looks cool ^^
Rainie
O, nice..so they didn't change the appearance of it....just made it 160 GB...wow, I'd love that space...but I really don't need that much, lol. The nanos look weird, like a squished version of a regular ipod....and it looks huge...but maybe it isn't?
lyly_flower2000
The Ipod touch screen is so awesome. U guys can surf net by it. Wanna get one but I already had a 30 GB video.

the ipod touch is so not worth it man!!!!! my friend bought it and here's his logic:

"No Phone: The new iPod Touch may have more storage, but it doesn't have a phone. This means you still have to carry two devices: a phone and the iPod Touch. I don't know about you, but I'm not one to carry an iPod everywhere I go. That's why I say no thanks to the iPod Touch. I'll just stick to an iPhone and eliminate all the excess baggage.

No Camera: The 2-megapixel camera is gone.

No Bluetooth or EDGE: This means no bluetooth headphones, headset, or access to the Internet when you can't find a hotspot. Bummer.

Wi-Fi: Woohoo, it has Wi-Fi — but what's the use of having Wi-Fi if you can't always access a hotspot outside the house? Once you walk out the door, the only place you have free access to the Internet is at Starbucks to buy music.

Storage: Why, oh why on earth would you pay $299 for an 8GB iPod or $399 for 16GB? OK, so it's flash-based, has a multi-touch interface, a beautiful 3.5-inch display, and Wi-Fi capabilities, but the price just seems outrageous when the 160GB metal iPod Classic is only $349. Makes me wanna weep.

No New Features: The iPod Touch is just an iPhone without a phone. And why didn't they add new colors, FM radio, an expansion slot, or a microphone to give it VoIP capabilities? Even the Sony Mylo and Zune have some of these features. Why make it look and act like a PDA, yet leave out important things like a microphone.

The good news is we now have options. Options are great when you don't have to to decide between carriers, or find ways to unlock the iPhone without it blowing up in your face. The iPod Touch has great features, but doesn't compare to the iPhone. Now that the iPhone is cheaper, why not go for the one with the most features at the expense of storage? Besides, I already have plenty of storage for music on my four other iPods."

^ Wow very good post! Everyone with the urge to buy the Touch needs to read that

Well the new Nano is still a Nano because it's tiny (or at least, much smaller than the regular iPod)

That's from a Yahoo article wasn't it? credit your sources if it is please.. anyways to comment on that

No Phone: that's what the iPhone is for DUH

No Camera: Why the hell do you need a camera for a freaking MP3 player? again it's not an iPhone or a digi cam

No Bluetooth or EDGE: Isn't EDGE only for phones? it has WiFi built in already

Wi-Fi: can't say anything about this since it differs where you live

Storage: I was disappointed about the iPod touch's storage BUT the price is higher since because of the stuff that's in it. the 16GB is the same price as the iPhone but with no phone and double the memory.

No New Features: kinda agree on this one

Anyways, if you're with AT&T and have the money to buy the iPod Touch, I would suggest getting a refurbished iPhone instead if you only need 8GB of music. Unless you don't have AT&T then pass up on it and go for the classic for the storage. Either way, I don't think the iPod Touch is worth it right now except for bragging rights. If you just want an iPod to listen music with either get the Nano or the Classic.

PS. I found the Yahoo Article
~ BunnyliciouS ~
why o why they don't put an instant messenger program in their iPhone/iTouch?
Just like the Sidekick you know.
You can talk, surf internet, listen to music, take pics, ...
A chatting program is the only thing that's missing from the iPhone mellow.gif
