How long d'ya reckon it'll be before Apple Online Store runs out of stock?

[QuantumTrickery]

The ones I ordered just arrived a couple hours ago. For whatever reason I wasn't expecting it to be so small, even after the pictures. Strangley it fits perfect in my hand. I don't know why everyone thinks the black is going to show heavy fingerprinting, it really doesn't. Sound quality is pretty typical, what you'd expect from apple. My biggest worry was how small the screen was going to be. Fortunately the screen is amazingly crisp and easy to read. Very vivid colors overall, not like the trashy H10 that I had previously. The unit feels amazingly sturdy, probably due to the metal backing. I don't think i'll worry at all about keeping this in my pocket, or even when i drop it.

Why does everyone complain that the sound with the ipods is 'typical' or it 'sucks'? The sound is loud enough for me...actually very loud for that f1,000 post.t.

its thinner than the shuffle

I wasn't talking about the volume. I was speaking about the sound quality. It wasn't a complaint either, just an observation. I don't recall saying any of the information I gave was fact either, it was just my opinion, deal with it.

I've used pretty much every mp3 player available out there. Not a single one has above average sound quality. But I don't care much about superb sound out of an mp3 player, I expect portable, easy to use and durable. The nano meets all that for me currently, until something else catches my eye.

I don't know if this link has been posted yet, but here it is: http://www.thinksecret.com/archives/nano/

It has photographs of the iPod Nano.

Boy oh boy, i want one. :)

the other issue is that regardless of how you rip a file to your hd from a cd since its not a 1:1 copy you will never achieve the quality of the original, im sure you can get close but still, you cant really judge an mp3 players abilitys for sound output because for hte most part its the file not the player that determines it.

No, Yes (e.g. Winamp with the iPod plugin) and no.

Why isn't there a remote jack for the iPod Nano? I understand that it is small enough to pull out, but I would really rather use a remote. Why would Apple do this? I thought that they like to pay attention to details. It's not like the remote jack adds to the size, or is expensive.

Saw it today, personally i think the 4 buttons like the 3g would look better

[IK47]

^^

My idea was for Apple to shrink down the 3G to the size of the mini. Albeit the nano is flash, and is colour, but is still very similar to my suggestion.

3G style interface would appear better aesthetically due to the lack of mechanical parts, and the orange lights. However I believe that the clickwheel is a better interface for a smaller form player like the nano and mini.

i got me a black one and i'm keeping the plastic protector on it untill i can get a case for it

[Creamy]

Now that looks like a great Player...

When I bought my iRiver iHP-120 2 years ago, i thought noboday will ever need colored displays in mp3-players...

Now i know...it really rocks!

[CoLdFuSi0n]

i'm still having mixed feelings about my nano, heck i've kept the protective plastic on it just cause i don't want it to get all scratched up

[crazihouse]

I have the white one and took the plastic protector off. Yes, it scratches fairly easily, but not enough to actually get distracted by them, like many people say. Maybe it's just me. :p
