I was going to get a mini for Christmas, but it's being replaced by this. I like the mini better.

I just got a 1 GB Shuffle too! Wow, what a coincidence. Sometimes Apple annoys me. I don't need room for 1,000 songs and photos. But that thing is awesome! Anybody download iTunes 5.0?

How could you not like the color screen?

I like the USB 2.0 switchover, I don't know why.

EDIT: I got iTunes 5.0!

I was thinking about getting one of these, the Mobiblu cube, but it only has one Gb of space, and compared to the 4 Gb of the nano, maybe I'll get that instead. Seems pretty awesome.

Gotta love the new techno-gadgets.

I think maybe that the black one is just it with the lights turned off. They want to show off its glow in the darkness. Maybe.

I just took a better look at it. Sometimes I'm stupid.

But I made a desktop picture inspired by JTTC's comment a few posts ago.

*comes back later* Imageshack's broken right now. Can anyone recommend any good image hosting places?

I am really, REALLY surprised they did away with the mini.
Personally, I think this thing will flop. Majorly. But, that's my opinion.

They did away with the mini. Man, I am gonna lose some sleep over that.

You could always try the almighty Photobucket. You have to register.

And you gotta promise to post that desktop... ;)

Iki? You'll get over it. Besides, I am seriously tempted to get one now, so consider this a victory for Apple fans like yourself.

What's so bad about this? Everyone wanted the Mini, and instead they'll get something way, way better.

Well, if you want to hear want I have to say about this...
The iPod mini was a fashion statement, and also iPod's number one seller. It held a thousand songs for the cheap $200. Now, the bring on this thing, and it holds five hundred songs for the same $200. Now, I know a lot of this is thrown in to the color screen, but, why would anybody want a color screen? Sure, it's good looking, but it also significantly slices battery life. Fourteen hours? The mini's battery life was 18 hours.
The iPod mini had a elegant, but simple design. This thing looks like it was developed by a bunch of chimps. The button scheme makes it very similar to the Shuffle-very small, and cramped. Your whole thumb will cover the entire wheel! Personally, I hope it does really poorly, forcing Apple to bring back the mini's.
Sorry if I disappointed you. These are my opinions on the iPod nano.

Apple and Motorola made a phone that has iTunes on it. Not an iPod cellphone. It looks like a regular cellphone.

Edit: Yay! Imageshack works now!

What the Shuffle should have been.

As for Minis, I'm rather sick of them. Everyone at school seems to be like "OMG I HAVE TEH IPOD" when it's really a Mini yet they think it's the 1337est thing ever. I'm the only person I know of with an iPod proper (40GB).

I need to get a new iPod.. should I get the nano or the regular? I like the small size of the nano, but it'd be nice to hold all that extra music and storage--
