New iPod nano (8GB Black) Review


Recommended Posts

It was odd Storm, i hate iPods, a lot, but since i have a Mac, and love to listen to my music, had to sell my Creative Zen Vision:M to get an iPod just so i can use iTunes to sync without any 3rd party software etc i was in town, didnt think about getting an iPod, quickly nipped into Currys, and went up to the guy and said i'll take that, got out of the store, was like 'errr i just got an iPod'....Anyway, its a really nice design, small, light weight, seems quite durable. Sound quality, quite poor, but that was expected, since having a Creative and iRiver in the past. It will do me for now :)

how did you manage a free of charge trade in?
Well, I only got my Nano about 2 months ago. So I just brought it in with the reciept and said I wasn't happy with it, and I would like to try the new one instead. Actually first I traded it for a Creative Zen V, but my PC was unable to find the drivers for some reason. I looked on the Creative foums and found this is a somewhat common problem, so I just brought the Creative back and traded it for the new Nano. Even got about $40 store credit :laugh: .

It's very easy to return things at large chain stores. Just be assertive, and if they argue, ask to talk to the manager. I also traded my 1st gen DS for a DS Lite at Wallmart with no reciept :p .

Target and Costco probably have the best return policies around. At Costco, you can literally returns things w/o receipts.

I had heard the same thing of their UK returns policy too. People have attached a receipt to a back of a microwave and when it went wrong about 4 years later took it back and got a new one. :cool:

Costco rocks. My mum has returned her iron about eight times because it keeps breaking, and Costco just take it back. Which is why people love them because they do not give you hassle.

I do not think the UK Costco sell's iPod's though does it?

The Costco food is awesome as well!

I picked one up friday and I'm loving it, I still haven't come close to using all 8 gigs.

The screen has a screen protector on it :)

For those wondering, the new earbuds fit better than the old ones and they do block out sound alot.

ive got the Green Nano, and here are the pics if you wanted to see the comparison with the mini :]

The new ipods look so cheap and nasty.

At least the old mini had scroll wheel controls that were colour matched with the ipod. These days the controls are either black or grey regardless of the colour of the ipod.

    • I always thought the moon gets a lot of impact because there’s no atmosphere, so surely building a moon base is only going to end in disaster?

    • This piece of ###### is probably one of the most hated apps that ever existed.
    • Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is heavily used in work and school environments, and perhaps one of its core but extremely useful features is the ability to record meetings. In past years, Microsoft has further improved upon this functionality by integrating AI, but you do need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to leverage most, if not all, all of those capabilities. Now, the Redmond tech firm is making another significant enhancement in the area of Teams meeting recordings. Up until now, if you wanted to access Teams recordings, you had to arduously locate the meeting invite and navigate to the dedicated tab, or go to the cloud storage location such as a SharePoint site. This was a rather overwhelming activity, especially if you don't remember the name of the meeting or the meeting occurred quite a while ago. Microsoft is now attempting to solve this problem through a dedicated Recap app that consolidates all your recordings. This centralized experience will allow users to find all recordings from the past 30 days and also offer access to other related services such as transcripts and AI-powered summaries. Customers will have the option to search for recordings, filter them, and review multiple meetings by generating AI-powered podcast-style recaps. The Recap app will list all available recordings in both thumbnail and list views. The former is shown below: And here is how Teams users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can select multiple recordings to generate a podcast-style audio recap: Microsoft has emphasized that the Recap app is pre-installed in Teams but it will not be pinned by default. Users will able to navigate to the Teams app store from the left rail, and pin it from the apps section. It will be enabled by default for all users once it becomes available. It's worth noting that while Teams recordings and transcripts can be accessed by all users governed by existing permissions, AI-powered features like intelligent summaries, audio recaps, and video recaps will require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. The Recap app will be generally available to Teams users on Windows, Mac, and the web by the end of next month, with mobile support coming soon.
