I think the nano looks good too

I mean: You don't buy a nano if you want a large display. You don't buy a nano if you don't care about any display. This is what the ipod touch and the ipod shuffle is for... So I think it looks sweet

Though I'm satisfied with my touch, I'd like a nano for when I'm out running or something... or going to parties... I want music with me, but the touch can be too big sometimes

Eggman: Input and output what? sound input via microphone? sound output via speakers?... also: microphone? Built in or available via headphones? Ambient light sensor? I'm pretty sure this is all available with every itouch / iphone from gen 2 and onward... and what's a minijack? 3.5 mm is 3.5 mm.... that's standard...

Wtf Dungeon Hunter 2 already? No wai!

And I like the look of the new nano, but what about the video playability? They didn't say anything about it, and it looks too small to watch videos anyways, plus the screen in square.

No video.

How long do you think before a jailbreak?

 

[casidepro]

microphone! im definetly gonna buy this

 

[alidsl]

@Krestent: I'm not sure about a jailbreak, it would be nice but it depends how the nano turns out
I think that you would have to download jailbroken apps on the computer and copy it across though

 

[gameguy95]

darn you you lousy scumbags for making the new ipod touch so great. i should have waited!!!

 

[SifJar]

If the Nano gets a jailbreak and gets some cool apps, like video playback and an alarm (even if it doesn't have external speakers, it can flash

), it could be a pretty cool little device, especially if its well priced (haven't seen any GBP prices yet, they're usually a bit worse than the USD prices). As it is though, I think its a little too limited in use. You can pick up a cheap(ish) Sony or Samsung or whatever touch screen media player with music and video, in very small form factors, which are probably better value.

Awesomeness!n Though a lot of this I was expecting, I'll admit I was surprised by some of these announcements.

First off, that game using the Unreal engine looks absolutely fantastic! It puts other so-called "iDevice graphical showcases" to shame!

Also, MAN, iPod Shuffles are getting ridiculously small! I can imagine myself misplacing it already...

That new iPod Nano... Mehh, I dunno about it. It seems too limited and dumbed down compared to the full-featuredness of the older ones. Can it still ply video on that tiny, weird-aspect-ratio screen?

Yeah, yeah, I was expecting that new iPod Touch. Everything I had imagined they'd add, they added. Still cool, though.

Finally, MAN I'm excited for that new Apple TV.

The iPod Nano looks ridiculous!

I think the iPod Shuffle is bigger than the last one acutally to make room for the buttons.

iPod Nano appears to have no video playback. No icon for it at least. There's a new f- you from the guys at Apple. Remember how we gave you video on the last 2 nanos? Expected us to continue this? Nah!! if you want videos buy an iPod Touch

you make it sound as if you bought an ipod nano before you are required to upgrade to the new nano. you can skip generations you know.

 

[Jamstruth]

I know but video's a pretty standard thing on small MP3 players these days. e.g. the Creative Zen (original). Removing it just removes another nice product feature (remember, iTunes has the biggest library of music videos available legally online. You can't use anything else with iTunes so...)

As some as you know I need a new iPod and I was thinking of getting a new nano and then i remembered that today was the musical festival and after looking at the new new Nano, I'm going to stick with 5th gen. No video? That's so stupid. Who the hell at Apple thought "Oh we should make the Nano as big as a Shuffle with no video!" That was completely idiotic. I like my click wheel too D< No more games on the new Nano either

Touch - good
Shuffle - same as before
Nano - sucks

 

[alidsl]

If the nano is using iOS (which it is) there will be games, apple will release a nano SDK and everyone will be happy

 

[casidepro]

does anyone actually know how many megapixels the camera's have?

i would agree if i had not bought a new touch about 2 months ago because i thought they completely ditched the camera idea

The new iPod touch seems cool, but I'll just wait until my 2nd gen is almost dead to get it. No rush for me.

That was just copypasta from the link for those to lazy to look

Input via Mic is the new built-in mic. (Check the Voice memo's page)
Ambient light sensor: i wasn't sure about that, someone referenced it when comparing the iPod touch.

ALSO:

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU

The freakin' touch is 249.99 here. Plus our shitty 13% HST! Fuck that. I'm going to buy it online from the USA. The dollars are just about the same now.

Anyone know of a good site that would ship to Canada? I was thinkin' Amazon.com

 

[DeltaBurnt]

No redesign for the iPod Touch 4 like the iPhone? I mean yah it's smaller...but that's not what I was hoping for.

I think it's cool that they're adding video recording and all, but again something the iPhone already has.

The only cool thing I see is that the battery life is extended by quite a bit.
