Apple's Music Event

[Forstride]

I think I'm going to get the new Touch next week. I only need $64 by then, since I have the rest already.

I'm loving it though...Finally, a camera and built-in mic. Can't wait. I don't think I'm going to jailbreak though (Even when a jailbreak is released), unless I really want emulators, which is the only reason I would. I'm fine paying for apps I will actually use.

itunes 10 now will be overbloated, i don't want intrusive behaviour, if i wanted friends or random people adding me i would sign up for facebook, all i need itunes to do is sync my music and that is it, i am so glad i migrated to media monkey.

as for that nano, dam! it is way too small, how are you going to use the touch screen on such a tiny display, a thumb would cover the whole screen, you would need baby hands to use it lol not so bothered about the touch, i recently brought my current touch a couple of months ago, i won't be upgrading to the touch 4 64gb for a while yet, it will be £400 in the UK so not buying it now, i will wait till i can get it for £200.

edit: amazon have the touch 4 64gb for £329!

Damn, I was hoping for this to be an announcement for a web-based event that gets you free apple products.

I don't care about their shit.

Not unless announcing new versions of their shit makes the old versions go down to under $50, since fucking handheld media players aren't worth the kind of money apple sells them for. Hell, I'd buy an iPod Touch, and ONLY an iPod Touch, but they're so freakin' expensive. I mean, if they can't show you 3D like a 3DS and can't play console games, then they're not worth the price.

Uh huh... what's with the hate? As much as I love some other media players, the iPod Touch is really hard to beat just because of the sheer amount of apps.

The iPod touch is great not because of the number of apps on the App Store. It was one of the first of its kind in touch screen mp3s that was executed well. Sure, there are great apps, but I always like to believe quality not quantity.

 

[Deleted_171835]

The new iPod Touch looks quite nice. I'll stick with my Zune, though.
The iPod Nano is extremely silly. You shouldn't have touch-control on a device that small.
The Apple TV is okay. I wish Apple hadn't went the renting route. I prefer to own stuff instead of rent.

Oh well.

 

[SifJar]

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

No it isn't. Apple have said it is NOT iOS, it just shares a similar UI.

 

[alidsl]

Yes it is using iOS, just a different version

in the nano section

I can just move it like other iOS devices..

 

[Inunah]

Uh huh... what's with the hate?

What's with the hate? The hate is because iPod Touches are hundreds of dollars overpriced.

 

[alidsl]

yet it manages to be one of the most popular mp3 players

 

[Dr Eggman]

$229 for an 8GB model is hardly over priced...

I wish. I don't know where in Canada you are, but it's Launching here @ 249.99. PLUS the fuckin' 13%HST. That's $282.49. Wonderful.

I'm still looking for a place to buy it online. But sadly, Amazon.com is only shipping to US, and everywhere that ships to Canada has it for 249.99.
My heart goes out to the UK people. 1st of all, in Pounds, then VAT too? That really sucks.

If anyone should stumble on a good site that would ship it to Canada @ 229.99. No tax. Then Please do enlighten me.

Although I have to admit. It is a good mp3 player. And I like slim sexy things

 

[anime4ever]

Ipod nano is not using IOS. It's just the look. So there will not be anything such as jailbreak.

 

[Inunah]

$229 for an 8GB model is not too bad...

That's $175 more than I'm willing to pay. It's not worth $229. That's an even worse deal than how overpriced the PS3 is.

The ps3 is not over priced and so is this ipod touch. Snap out of the world your in.

 

[murkurie]

might sell my ipod touch 2g, and buy a 4g, apple's pricing for memory is annoying though.

though I'll continue to use my zuneHD for media, it's just better. It's great to own both.

 

[Inunah]

Well I mean if you think any MP3 player with even half the functions of the iPod Touch is worth only $50, you're delusional.

I'm delusional? Why not look at all these brand names and say their creators are delusional? They make overpriced shit! Everything on Earth is overpriced, nobody realizes how much they've been ripped off, and I'm DAMN SURE that Apple and Microsoft are secretly the same company and trying to take over earth.

Dude, PS3 has no games. When has a console without games NOT been overpriced?

Did you even read the nano section
He clearly says "like my other ios devices"

 

[Satangel]

Thanks for the round up of the event, nice post.

New iPod Nano looks so ugly, I wouldn't want that even if I got it as a present. iPod Touch looks so sexy again though, just an amazing device.

I agree its a bit overpriced but no way is it worth as little as $50. Here in Britain $50 translates to £30. That amount wouldn't buy you a brand new Game or any kinda of decent media player at all. You are delusional.

Overpricing shit is how you make money! Its called profit!!! If you don't like it then move to China where its Communist rule.

I think the ipod nano should have been the ipod shuffle...

Its too small for me, gonna stick with my ipod touch

....Yeah, but $229 is also the minimum price for a first gen iPod Touch REFURBISHED. That's WAAAAAAY too overpriced.
