The New iPods

[Ben...]

Anyone else got one?

I got a 16 gig Nano in orange (they were out of black). It's really neat so far and the battery lasts an insanely long time. I've listened to it for about 3 hours and only about an 8th is gone. The new interface is pretty neat. the only thing I don't like is that there is no solitaire on it.

My 10 year old daughter won a 16 Gig nano (yellow) at her school last Friday. She already had an older style 8 Gig nano that she now gave to her younger sister.

It seems pretty nice. My 2 year old Gen 5.5 80 gig is still going strong, and that has been around the world with me, been dropped, flown across the room courtesy of the treadmill, etc.

I'd be lost without mine. It goes everywhere with me.

I got the new 120gb classic. I love it, video usage sucks battery life, but using it just for music it lasts much longer. It has a cool music and movie quiz game too.

This was a replacement for my Gen 5 30 gig video. That poor thing has been through hell. The battery is pretty much toast from being used about 4 hours a day for 2+ years.

I ride the blunt edge of technology. The new release has meant I can upgrade from Gen 1 Shuffle to a refurbed 80 gig Classic at a considerable discount.

I have the 80 gig classic, it's awesome.

and work just sent me a new iPhone, psych!

Haha, that's how my old video was. I got it refurbished when the 5.5's came out. It was absolutely trashed but it had all new insides.

Pick up a Purple one for my wife.. My kids love it

My wife wants the purple one, but I keep telling her that it won't hold all of her music.

Personally I stay away from Apple products because of their bad business practices.

my wife has had a purple one for years. It used to be pink before her vice like grip. Occasionally she'll still let me play with it

There should be a games section under the extras menu. My old 1st gen. Nano had solitaire. My video also did. The newest Nanos went back to being long shaped but they have a super long screen and a tilt sensor so it changes modes based on if you have it vertical or horizontal.

I'm planning to get an iPod Touch when the new ones get to this area (we live in the sticks, and the stores here don't have 'em yet).

[Sinistas]

I want to get a Classic at some point. My old 30gb Zen Xtra died and my gf is letting me borrow her 2gb Samsung YP-T9 until I get a new one. 2gb of music is not enough - even if I switch the library every day. Then again, at work I'm using it for 10 hours a day.

I want one that is just a big hard drive (say 300GB or so)and a nice CHANGEABLE battery. No color screen, no video, no games. No software but the music playing software.

For any other purpose I carry a laptop and a cell phone.
