iPod nano: Impossibly Small

[TheAnimus]

am i the only one seriously under impressed by this?

Propriatry DRM - BAD
Battery Life (comparied to say sony's flash ones) - BAD
Battery Replacement Options - BAD
Supported formats - BAD
Size - BAD (no point having something that hudge, in 2 dimenions..... i know its an icon, but its fugly)
Quality (no hidef support) - BAD
Apple's legindery build quality & support - BAD
Pricetag - BAD (for us uk peeps ne rate)

Okay lets try n find something good about it?
If your lower class, its bling, Thats good.
If you want to out class people on the tube, with a na ya. Its good for that (apple fans won't recognise an HD3 as a 20gig player, because its too small, and the battery life is too long)

So please, someone tell me something this does which another player dosen't? Am i the only person that would rather have a white on black Organic LCD screen as oposed to colour? (I have 20/20 vision fyi) I just prefer bigger viewing angle + less batterylife. But at least this fits in perfectly with what i expect from apple.

I think the storage is mostly irrelivant. Personally, I would be amazed if 1,000 good songs have been made in the history of this planet.

As for the color screen, is it really that relivant?

If your lower class, its bling, Thats good.

I'm lower class and wouldn't spend a cent on "bling", or an ipod, or new shoes when my 5 year old new balance running shoes with reguled on soles work fine!

I might steal an Ipod, but only to sell it, or trade it for necissities like athlon 64s, weapons, and food.

What makes me angry, is that when the battery conks out after a few month, as it sounds like it will, apple will charge you £83 whereas the americans pay $59! Disgusting.

exactly what i said lol
you see if its colour it makes the music sound better when its sat in your pocket and you cant see it.next it will be taking pictures
talking of which who's heard about the apple phone with 2gb or whatever...

I use an "inline" remote on my HD3, which is obscured by my coat, so when i'm walking around people can't see it, apple want you to wear this on your arm, activily re-enforcing brand dominence.... and getting you mugged, means u'll just buy another.

I have to admit, I dont like the idea of having to wear this "openly". Here in London you can get mugged for anything, so this would really be like dangling a sign around your neck saying mug me.

Agreed - my muvo2 looks beatup and crap and so does my phone (plus im a scruffy bastard) so i dont scream mug me.... however with one of those...

I do want one tho but i think my next MP3 player is going to be a Sony HD3 or 5

The only advanatge seems to be its small and for the price tag and the fact you can only use itunes no other online music service it just doesnt seem like a good buy tbh

[Dooms]

Plugins for Winamp and ways round it if you want to use other programs means you dont have to use iTunes

[bsodmike]

Even though you use iTunes (it is a pretty nice app, on the Mac side anyways) you don't *have* to use the iTunes music store. Of course you can but there are other ways and means of getting music, like going to HMV/Virgin and actually paying for it, and of course the not so legal way which isn't recommended. However, I do not want to jump into a Winamp vs. iTunes debate here...

I got a white 4Gb nano last week and altho it is scratched after having been very carefully handled, I'm very happy with how it works. Hoping apple do a recall or something to sort out the scratching issue...
