I'm digging the new Nanos. I've wanted an FM tuner for a long time. But seriously, I've got enough iPods sitting around, and they all still work, too.

Going to pick up a nano when I get a chance.

Installed Snow Leopard the other day. Not a huge change, but went off without a hitch.

fuck, is that really worth it for my ipod? gah.

UberBeaver · 09-11-2009, 11:21 PM

Why is Apple trying to make the touch into a game player? That's just silly...

martha · 09-12-2009, 03:07 PM

So I should go ahead and update to iTunes 9 then?

pepokiss · 09-13-2009, 01:35 AM

iPod with FM radio?

FINALLY.

NOW I WANT AN iPod !!!

I have an iPod Shuffle, 1 GB, the clip version. Is my best friend

I am very impressed with iTunes 9 on Windows. All throughout the application it runs snappier and the instant, Spotlight-like search results from all search fields feel quick, too.

I don't know how much of the code they re-wrote, but it finally feels like Apple has written a non-shit Windows application. Love the increased sync'ing options, and especially the ability to now put the column browser (genre, artist, etc) on the lefthand side of your music library. Very handy for widescreen monitor peeps and those who prefered the Zune software.

As far as the iPod Touch, do not buy a new one. Repeat: do not buy a new one. It was very obvious that Apple planned to have a video camera in the new Touches much like the new Nanos, but there was a story floating around about manufacturing or supply problems causing a delay in implementing that. There is even a little space left empty inside the new Touch that would fit an iPhone-like camera perfectly, so hold off until they revise them again in a few months.

New Nano is nice...if I didn't like pseudo-PDA that my iPod Touch has become I would spring for one of those.

Truth be told I still love my 3rd-gen 'Fat Nano'. Just feels sturdier and when this one breaks I'll probably spring for a cheap 8gb fat nano again for jogging.

NotBono · 09-15-2009, 01:11 AM

Got to see the new nano's in person today. They look cheap... really cheap. Not to mention the screen size is a very weird aspect ratio.

BrownEyedBoy · 09-19-2009, 07:54 AM

Isn't the iPod Classic still the same thing?

RedRocksU2 · 09-19-2009, 11:15 AM

kinda; the 120 GB for $249 became the 160 GB @ the same price.
