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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
