Things that make you say "Oooohhh..."
Sleek hip, looks like a cd remote and just a little bigger than your credit card...
...nano actually looks promising. It's sure is a looker! The iPod nano is the newest addition to the iPod family. I may say, they're comming close to the ideal compact mp3 player I've dreamed of. It's like the original iPod only less vulnerable, much lighter, simplistic in design, but it's certainly very pretty. That, my friends, is how it should have been in the first place.
I personally think it sucks for those people who bought the lame plasticky ipod shuffle or even the now obsolete ipod mini (which Apple has seemingly abandoned).
If you search the Apple store, it feels as though the iPod mini never existed o.o. All you will find are acessories. With a little diging, I did find "refurbished" ones for the same price as the nano. Now why should I buy a refurbed mini when I can get a nicer sleeker looking nano for the same price? Ask Apple. Maybe they have a good answer.
As I write this, I can see a quite a few of my "Macdaddy" friends having a field day about this thing @_@. Hehe. No harm done on me =P. Personaly, I think this is actually the nicest looking and most convenient ipod incarnation to date. The standard holds 2 gigs. I actually wouldn't mind shelling out some cash for one of these ($199). Unlike the iPod mini, this comes in a really nice slate black color that should have been made available to the original iPod (I don't count the U2 edition with the red click wheel and sigs on the back).
I'm sure to some, the price is a bit steep, but if you consider that this is actually in color, better looking, nearly credit card thin, and extremely portable, I think it's a decent buy. If you're worried about storage, you can get the 4 gig for $249. But why pay that much if you can get the full 20 gig iPod for just $50 more? People who can afford to shell out for this may want it speficically for aesthetics and the portability. Besides, it's not like you really to listen to all 60 gigs of your songs on any given day. I mean really?! In the end, Steve Jobs certainly has his crew working overtime.
