lol yeah right it would cost like 500 dollars

2gig Nano = $200

4gig = $249 $49 for 2 more gigs

6gig = $300

8gig = $349 ( not really worth it just buy a 30gig iPod instead. )

Assuming the pricing scheme stayed the same. Ya feel'n me now? :rolleyes:

I'd love to see the shuffle killed and the 2gig Nano fall to $149 and the 4gig to $200 etc.

FM tuner and remote

for nano, 5th gen

$49 on sale today

from http://live.worldofapple.com/

Ahh, thanks a ton. I was actually just about to ask that... what would it look like, how can it fit a nano, an ipod, and older ipods. Apparently there are going to be two versions for the nano and the 5th gen? Or one size fits all? I can't imagine one size would look good on both. Anyway, I'll be looking at those when the store comes back online. Might get one for my 5th gen.

Oh man, yeah, don't buy a Mac until they go to Intel. It wont be long and it's going to be a huge jump for them.... dare I say... they'll leap ahead?? *giggle*

im pretty sure i read that steve said "works on all current ipods" so what port on the current ipods are pretty much standard with all of them?

I don't know if it will or not. The stream I'm reading doesn't say, so I was just going by what coolchan said. All iPods have the same connection at the bottom that is used for charging, transfering songs, and various accessories. They took out the remote port from the nanos and 5th gens. That brings me too my question of how do they make ONE that looks good on them all. Or will they have multiple versions. Oh, and they have to have black and white, because I sure as hell don't want a white fm tuner on my black iPod!

[iconboy]

Ok, im not a newb, but i LOVE the idea of having a special picture to go with a special date in my calendar, i dont remember ever being able to do this with outlook or other windows software. err at least without going through like 100 steps to do it!

See how fast i turn on my PC? I am sooooooo FICKLE!! :( :(

[Chimera]

One thing no-one has picked up on is that the new remote/FM tuner is tunable via the iPod screen...that means the tuner device is sending screen data BACK to the ipod...that's a first for iPod accessories as far as I know, other than the "connected" logo that some cars and docks put up.

what does he mean by "HD last year" is he refering to the broken promise that apple would make 2005 the year of hd?

the griffin itrip nano you tune the station on the nano's screen. the dock connector has pins for serial communication so its definatly possible as long as the ipod has the sofware. my guess is the FM tuner requires a new version of ipod software
