New iPod

[Hamma]

The new iPod is here.

Also they announced a price drop for the iPhone, $399 now and they killed the 4gb model of the iphone.

I've been waiting for a touch screen ipod for a while now, although I am not so sure on the price, 299 they should really have a larger capacity one.

guess its time to throw my nano into a microwave, and tell futureshop it stopped working...

And WTF is "iPod Classic"?

[Rbstr]

Ipod classic is just the old style ipod, the touch wheel ect.

But being more expensive with less space - fuck that.

So basically this ipod is just an iphone without 90% of the features. This is what it seems to be. The iphone plays songs and holds videos and pictures, right? Never the less, it is definitely a nice product.

I suppose I might get one once my current iPod stops working.

Actually its pretty much has almost all the iPhones features except the phone

One thing is for sure and that's that there are a ton of pissed off people who paid 599 for an iPhone I've been waiting for a touch screen iPod/Widescreen iPod for ages, i may wait a couple months tho see if the price gets nixed again. There's no chance in hell I need more than 120gb of fucking space for an mp3 player

I wish I had enough music to fill 5gb. But then again, I have a ton of video's and movies I could put on there.

I need a new iPod. I have a 4gb nano, and only have about 500mb left. I would seriously fry mine if the smallest model was bigger than 4gb. Maybe I should just go legit and buy a new, larger capacity player.

I've got 28 gigabytes of music on my hard disk right now.
Now I don't listen to all of that, but I listen to a large enough portion that I'd miss stuff at 16 gigabytes. I really would.

The ammount of music isn't the main problem though. In the end I could deal with 16 GB of music.
The real issue comes with video. A crappy divx season of scrubs, for instance, takes 4 gigabytes (24 eps at 30mins each, VGA[standard TV?] resolution). An 80minute movie can take 1.5gb.
If I've got a wide/touch screen iPod I want my music and videos without having to hassle with switching it out. 16gb is not enough for that.

I'd spring for a 60gb Zen Vision W(boohoo no touch screen) at $400 ($350 online) WAY before I'd buy the touch ipod.

As it stands I've got a 3 year old 30gb ZEN, and it works more than fine for me, until it stops working I don't have a reason to change.

Yea, 16gig is incredibly too small. My 30Gig Video has all my favorite music on it (its completely full), while my 80gig has the rest of my music and is close to 60gigs full. Ive also got some music on my PC/ Laptop that I shouldn't even think about putting on either of my Pod's cause Id lose my gig if I played it :X
Total its like 115 gigs of Music. Then Ive got videos too :P I wish they would just make a nice 200 gig Ipod and get it over with I wouldnt mind having a Tera byte sized mobile Epeen though

[Rbstr]

Your in a conundrum there peace.

How about:

Doesn't the new 160gb classic do video as well?

[Rbstr]

yes, but it's got the smaller screen.

I think Apple actually has got the right idea though. The average person buys the ipod because it's "cool" not because of the functionality/storage. Otherwise creative and others would have a much larger market share. More people will go for the touch because of the cool factor than people who go for the 160gb because they need storage(they've got the same price point as I understand it, right?).

It kinda bones the people like us a bit, but the market really isn't about enthusiasts.

[Hamma]

Yea agreed, it does kinda stink I want a touch with like 30gb that would make me happy. 16 in this day in age is kinda odd.. I gues they were going for the thin factor.

And I belive they are kinda around the same price point
