Does anyone know if these are in the Apple Store in the UK yet? I know, on the site, ordering is expected to be fulfilled at the end of September, but I'm not aware if they have them in-store.

They are going to be sold in Currys etc...according to Currys website, they expect release on 14th.

The warranty service is really good in Currys too. When my nano broke, I had it replaced with brand new one same day.

I don't think Apple can physically make the nano any smaller. It's already the exact same width as the USB cable, and in addition, it also has to serve the standard 3.5 mm headphone jack. So unless Apple moves to some (unpopular) adapters, you won't see it get any thinner than this.

I bought one for my wife on saturday too. I like it and so does she. I like the new menus and the games are enjoyable. I have Gen2 of the nano and not sure if I will trade yet. It would be nice to have some podcasts to go. Overall I think it is worth to get if you do not have. If you have gen2. Wait until the next gen4 comes out.

I went to the Apple Store on Regents Street last week (friday) and they said they should be getting them in this week.

it's unbelievable how thin the nano is now. I couldn't believe it when i was in the apple store monday night.

It's actually no thinner than the 2G nano, but the rounded edges and polished stainless steel give the illusion that it's thinner than it really is.

Some are complaining that the wider design coupled with the thinness makes the unit a bit uncomfortable to hold after a while, but I was just on a long bus ride this afternoon, and it felt fine. I really have to invest in a good pair of earbuds, though. (I'm looking into the Shure SE310.)

This has to be the absolute limit on how thin consumer gadgets can be! There's no way you could even plug your headphones in if it became any thinner! :o

Exactly. Until we move away from the 3.5 mm headphone jack and/or the current iPod dock adapter, it is physically impossible for the nano to get any thinner. But who knows? Maybe in a few years wireless Bluetooth earbuds will become standard, and the iPod will have Bluetooth built in or something.

Great review. :) I just picked up my iPhone and plan to upgrade my 5th Gen iPod to one of the new Nano's, for exercise. I'll just keep the 5th Gen in the car, connected to my Alpine.

I'm trying to break out of that habit where I *must* carry every piece of media with me.

I'm most likely to get the 8GB nano now and leave the iPod touch.

AppleInsider's review made me go for it - http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/09...thin_shell.html

Radish?

I just read that review, what attracted you to it over the touch? I'm thinking of going with the new nano too just because I can easily take it with me and the features are still great even though it's tiny.

I'm the same way. I remember I used to carry all my music with me on my 30 GB iPod, but then I soon realized how little music I actually listened to. While the nano is only 8 GB, it's plenty for me, because I only put music on it that I actually listen to.

I hear you on that. My 4GB Nano is almost full but I don't have any other music I frequently listen to that I must have at all times.

And now, it's time for...

Bugs in the code? What? Say it isn't so!

Here are two small bugs I've found with the current nano firmware...

  • If you add the "sleep" shortcut to the main menu and use that to turn off the player, it works fine. But turn the player back on, and it will immediately go to sleep. The only way around this is to quickly move the click wheel up the menu so it gets off the "sleep" shortcut.
  • I've found another glitch when it comes to playlist playback. As I've stated earlier, you can set up playlist folders. If you decide to play an entire folder, it appears to play back everything within that folder all at once, in shuffle mode, even if shuffle mode is turned off. I'm quite sure this shouldn't be happening. Another glitch involves individual playback. If I want to play all the songs in the playlist by merely pressing the play/pause button on the playlist name, it skips the first track, every single time. There is no way around this. The only way you can get the first track to play in a sequential (non-shuffle) order is to double-tap the rewind button to move backwards in the tracking list.

Hopefully both of these relatively annoying bugs will be fixed with the upcoming firmware update.

Your thoughts are the same as mine, one thing I'm hoping for is a remote.

I'm also torn between red and black :/

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches.

LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path.

Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used.
