"The iPod Nano"

Have you seen the new ipod.

Its unreal. Im going to be sick.
Im speechless.

I've seen some nice Creative ones out there.

I always carry whatever's playing my music in a rucksack anyway so size really doesn't bother me.

I want a sizeable one so I can put all my CDs on it and then hook it up to my 360 in the future.

Otherwise I have a CD burner and a portable anti-skip CD player which set me back a whole 15 quid from Woolies. :)

I got an iPod but if I was buying now I might look at something else but I don't care.

Is that really the case though? Recently, I wanted a light, easy to handle player that can store podcasts and a few songs while on the way to work. All the players I've seen prior to that decision have been tacky (buttons on the side, no thanks), hardly robust and actually more expensive. The shuffle was actually cheapest of the lot, along with the student discount they offer.

Or if you have something against owning a better player, with more memory for a smaller amount of money.

It's a flash based version of the mini, with all the advantages that come with it. But of course, with Apple, it's a huuuuge event, so they had to pull out all their big guns. Only get this if you're a size freak, or want the extra battery life.

Hmm might have a look for that...

There's a very small 20Gb player about...and that was a while ago....

and cheaper than an Ipod, obviously.

And yeah, there are far better players about.

I've always liked my iPod. It may not be as good spec as other things, but its small, simple, and effective.

No, there really are better alternatives out there.

I've been thinking about getting an iPod.

Does all this talk about them being crap actually hold any truth? Or is it just people trying to stay away from the mainstream again?
