So what's the diference between the Nano, the Mini & the Shuffle?
I know Jess and I both have more than that on each of our computers.
The Shuffle sucks, The Mini is ok, and the Nano is better than the mini.
Oh that really clears it up.
They all still have that ty controller, though.
Nano (basically replacing the Mini) super small (about a quarter of an inch thick) available in the 2gig (about 500 songs) or the 4gig (about 1000 songs) models. Color screen, able to hold photos, slideshows, world clock, screen lock feature. USB 2.0 only no firewire. 14 hour continuous play battery. None of the accessories for the iPod or iPod mini will work with this one just yet.$199 - $249
Mini, smaller than a regular iPod. Available in 2gig, 4gig, and I believe 6gig models. Monochrome screen, USB & Firewire capable. Most of the regular iPod accessories will work with the Mini. 18 hours continuous play battery. $149 - $249
Shuffle, 512MB (120 songs) and 1 gig (240 songs) models available. No display, small (about 78 oz). 12 hour continuous play battery. $99 - $129

I have a 40GB iPod and haven't had any problems with it at all. I have something like 1800 songs on mine and haven't used 20% of its memory. When I've taken trips, I've loaded books on tape onto the thing and have my choice of a book or music. It's been just great for me.
I don't really understand the point of the nano. I've never run into a situation where my iPod was too big or burdensome to carry around. I'd much rather pay a bit more to have more memory than cut my price in half and cut the memory by something like 10 times.
Well, I think the Nano is marketing and pricing genius. Its a more affordable Ipod, but it is just enough to make you consider getting an Ipod as well (because for 100 bucks more you get 16 more gigs).
Apple's marketing department is brilliant with the Ipods and how they price and market them.
Actually it's just 50 bucks more for 16 more gigs. The 20gig regular iPod is $299 on Apple.com. I think the Nano is great with how small and seemingly durable it is (based on that article you showed me). The only things I don't like about it are the in ability to use iPod accessories, there's no hook up like on the regular iPod where you can view your photos on a TV, and it not being firewire capable. Not that I use firewire but it would suck for those users who do, why make an apple product that doesn't use firewire???
Okay, maybe I'm stupid but do you guys just buy iPods etc to be trendy? Or do you actually use them on a regular basis? Where do you go that you actually need to use it? If your home, don't you listen to music on your stereo or computer? If you are in the car, then on your sound sytem? Where do you even use your iPod (other than maybe working out)?
I just don't get the mass appeal.
I take mine pretty much everywhere. In the car i have a hook up to listen to it through the radio. I take it to work and hook it up to the computer speakers, and I take it on my nightly walks in the neighborhood. Not to mention when we go on trips and stuff, it's worth it to me to not have to burn CDs and then lug a huge case around.
Interesting.
I understand on trips, and when working out. But I doubt most people use them on a daily basis. Maybe I'm wrong.
Everyone I know who has one uses it all the time. I think its easier having all of your music in one location and just having to use that instead of accessing all the cds. Our mp3s on the computer are there, but you can hook up an Ipod to a regular stereo which is a big advantage.
But I know I'd use it all the time if I ever get one. It would retire my discman which gets hours of use each day.
Everyone I know who has one, it sits in their luggage waiting for next time they go on a trip.Everyone I know who has one uses it all the time.
Seems like such a waste of money to me. I like the idea of having my entire music collection in the palm of my hand. Thats probably why the mini never appealed to me and the regular Ipods do.Everyone I know who has one, it sits in their luggage waiting for next time they go on a trip.
I know that I would never use one; that's why I don't buy one. We listen to music all day, every day at home. But we have 1000's and 1000's of mp3's on our computers. So we just listen to those. In the car, we don't listen to music much -- we talk to each other.
i use mine at school, wait i should not be saying that.
a ipod is nice because you can play it on your car steroe and not have the hot sun melt it.
the only problem is you should take the ipod in side a store instead of getting VERY hot in the car
I think more people get the ipods because their peers have one
Nick Cannon has one
like i give a rats ass if he has one.
Roflroflroflroflroflroflroflrofl
Been thinking of getting my GF one for her birthday but i was wondering how many people get their music legally?
I don't really listen to music much anymore and if i do the radio's usually fine for me but how safe is downloading now? I haven't burned jacked MP3's in over a year now. Does everybody shut off sharing and just get the MP3's they want?
I can't see me s ing out that much if the only thing thats safe to put on there is her CD collection.
