iPod Nano (new release)

I recently purchased the newly released Ipod nano XD (like the day after i first saw the add)

The battery life is much better than previous nanos, which is a major plus for me, I played it non stop for a full day and it barely went under 40% of total. One thing i have noticed though is when you multitask it drains an excess amount of battery life (ie playing solitare, backlight, and shuffle music) it drains 2x to 4x the normal amount.

Other than that im really pleased, and dont try to argue about itunes. Im one of the people who LOVE itunes. :3 just thought i'd post.

Mod's please move this if its in the wrong section, the description had music, and electronic deals with computers and such. So i wasn't sure where to place this.

edit: PS its an 8g so yeah, it has top features from the apple spec. sheet on their site.

whats the price for this one?

i got mine for liek... 240$ for the 8G i belive... without tax or warranty of course...

thats great price for this release, i bet that here it'll cost like 500 bucks lol, i'dl order better from internet =)

lol :3 best buy has some nice prices iirc.

Jaaa, my main gripe with iPods is it's battery life :) Especially the video omfg. Mine's a 30gb video , bought it like 3 weeks ago, and quite satisfied with the exception of battery. I should turn down the backlight though hehhehehee.
I notice the battery drains if you use the wheel alot too. :)

iTunes is sweet. Better than Creative's Mediasource muah. Podcasts ftw.

If your area has a Fry's Electronics, its a gud place. The 30gb Video was $289 when I got it.

heh well considering apple advertises that this new nano has quite a few more hours than the high end video, im hoping it lives up to what they say XD ive been satisfied with the sound output and battery life so far XD which is a good sign.

photos sap the battery aswell, i have the 30gb vid and after a year the battery life is still pretty close to the original strength which cant be said for my friends 60gb photo which is dismal

i suppose it depends on how often you use those extra things spikee, if you use them wisely (not all the time) then it should be fine.

I don't even have a time to use an Ipod these days... =/

Wft...

iPods are pretty cool, Battery life is a problem though. I can't wait for the iPod killer from Mircrosoft.. THE MIGHTY ZUNE!!!!!

lol it wont kill iPod trust me... ive seen it... its bulky and huge.. people dont wana use somthing that big.. and the only plus in my book is the FM radio... its not all that nuke >_>

i have an old school nano, its like, 2 gig
i want a better one, but i already got my early birthday present (lap top)
oh well, at least a have one right?

send music and videos to your friends, bigger screen for viewing, It might not be an iPod killer but it will rock :D

lol bigger screen is.. ok but we dont know if anything will look good on the screen, knowing microsoft they're gonna make it look like crap.. oh and the design looks horrid (as most microsoft stuff does *see xbox v1 and x360*).... and you can already transfer music and video to friends.. i think the WiFi/bluetooth/live capabilities will be more of a hassle than its worth in the case of the Zune.

also if rumors are true, the zune will be about 400$. Which is WAY overpriced.

Why does everyone talk shit about microsoft? = /

If most companies had products as good as microsoft, the world would be a better place. Compare Microsoft products to others, and they look good. The 360 is gorgeous! Plus they released way before anyother console. The 360 is a good machine.

I have a 360 don't diss!

I have a 360 too XD i can diss if i want to...

I heard about those... they come in new colorful colors now, right? Yayzorz :D

I have a video ipod, but it kinda sucks cause my parents are idiots and wont let me get an itunes account. Even if I pay for the videos and music myself, they wont let me for some stupid reason. I mean, if my uncle spends quite a bit of money on a video ipod for my birthday, I should be able to get videos! geeze. Okay, I'm ranting a tad too much... :p

Hype over 8 gigs..My computer shits 8 gigs a day..

blah i got my 4 gig 2 weeks before the 8s came out LMAO that always happens to me oh well got it from a friend for 100 bucks and it was already almost fully loaded 3.76 gigs :-D

i found out with the battery life if you let it sit for a amount of time (when it starts to decline) about week or so it will go back to normal :-D well little to no loss of the overall battery life

My friends have a podcast called Toxamic Clown. Heh.. they all so short ^^

Damnit, now my Nano feels.....well it feels "classical" now :(

I'm quite proud of my phone's 512mb... a gig would be nice though, then i can just have a few tunes to listen to and tingg!

I can hardly fill up 256 mb of music! Holy shit. You all listen to music way to much. xD

wtfff sam you listen to too little music muah :) I have 5gb on my ipod so far.

omg hard time filling 256mb i have more cds then that >< if i ripped all my cds id prolly have about 6-7 gigs (thats after i had 20 some cds stolen) i have only songs i like on my ipod not everything
