link to coverage of the press conference where they have announced a new nano renamed the old ipod, and announced the new ipod touch.

custom backrounds

 

 

 

That's probably one of my favorite features of my Zune (got it back in December). I can always look at a place I've visited, a car I can only dream of having, or my girl when I'm changing songs.. The only things I'd change about the Zune would be the noisy selection buttons and the Zune software. I can't stand the software.. It's fairly easy to use once you get used to it but it's so slow it's not even funny. And yeah we could use an update :-k

 

 

 

Edit: I guess I'd also like a better battery life.. Mine doesn't last more than 6 hours on just music (5 second screen shut off if I change artists) and a lot less when I watch videos. I got a warranty on it thankfully because my first Zune's battery went to hell and I didn't have more than 2 hours of music before it would die.. Got a new one, no questions asked ^_^

The new ipod will KILL the zune. Just go to apple.com for some pictures.

 

As this is apple's official website, obviously they are not fakes. The new ipod nano will sell for $150 for the 4gb, $200 for the 8gb, the touch 80gb will be $250 and the touch 160gb will be $350.

New iPod Nano got the screen of the iPod video btw, and 4 Gb's for $149. They will sell quite good don't you guys think?

touch comes in 8gb and 16gb flash memory, The Classic starts at 80gb for 250. also the iphone price dropped to 400 for the 8gb.

Nano is a bit.... not nano aka fat but the touch looks pretty sweet

iPod Touch is basically the iPhone without the Phone :lol:

 

I'd rather have an iPhone tbh.

It won't kill the Zune, as the Zune is $200 for 30 GB while the Apple is only 8 GP for the same price.

 

 

 

After reading that press conference I think I will still stick to Microsoft. They give me what I need, not window dressings like touchscreen.

4GB on the Nano? No wonder it is so cheap. :-k

 

 

 

I can't see myself buying any of them. I might consider the iPod Classic (video) if it lowers in price. So far as I see it has not.

My god, 160GB of storage. That is really quite phenomenal. I'm not an Apple fanboy but that is seriously impressive. The new touch-screen iPod is a waste of money but 160GB for the same price as the old 80GB? Wow, just wow.

Not really an iPod fan here. I bought a $30 mp3 player that holds 1GB..It's held all of the music I've wanted so far. The screen busted after half a year, but that's out of my own stupidity keeping it crammed between a rail thing and my leg. Still plays perfectly. The original headphones lasted me FOREVER..til they started to wear down because I coiled them around the player.

 

 

 

Don't really see why I need video access, internet..among other things. And I dont need 30,000 songs or whatever.

I don't know why you're all bothering to blabber about, the Creative Zen is comfortably stronger in battery life, video quality, codec adaptibility and teh sexy looks.

I may buy the new nano... dunno. I'll probably just wait till i get another job, then I can blow my money on w/e.

Ya but you can get 80 gig ipod for 50 bucks more now...

What does Zune have for the type of program that holds music on the computer? Is it similar to iTunes?

You have your own music saved in folders on your computer, the zune software finds it on your computer and adds it to your library.

 

 

 

It also has the zune marketplace to buy songs, but I'm not sure of how it works, but they're protected so you can only put them on your zune.

The iPod Touch looks kick [wagon]... but 16GB only... that's rubbish. My 4th Gen iPod is 20GB and its years old now and the equivalent "classic" iPod stores 160GB now.

The reason the gbs are so low on the touch is because apple is expecting you to stream your music from WiFi I think instead of actually having it on your iPod.

the Ipod touch is not really a hardcore music player compared to the ipod classic, its use is as more of a multimedia device. Essentially its an Iphone without the phone. I can tell you from personal experience that the Iphone is the best phone on the market (I own one) so the Ipod touch, because its essentially the same thing, must be very, very good too. Aside from the lower capacity, which I don't see as much of a problem anyway (how many people have 40,000 songs on their mp3 players? Heck, 1000?) It should easily be the best mp3 player out on the market.

I want a nano so bad, now! It's the first electronic thing that I've wanted as much as I do... If that made sense.

Getting one on 28th

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Does wi-fi come with it, or do u have to pay a fee a month?

Its because the touch doesn't use a harddrive like the classic ipods, It uses flash memory right now the largest flash memory you could get is 32gb and it would increase the cost of the touch if they were going to put the 32gb in the touch.

 

 

 

edit:

 

Also heres some pics of the new linee up of ipods

Well they improved the battery life on the Ipod Classic marginly to that of the older Ipod Video which I have.

 

 

 

Its now 5 Hours video time (instead of around 3) for the 80gp model, and its 7 Hours for the 160gp (who would need that much memory by the way :s - I suppose it'd be good for an external hard-drive regardless - but song and video wise I doubt many people would need that much memory).

 

 

 

So the battery life is marginly better but I'd still think that they would of been able to increase it a little more.

Does anyone else get a good 6+ hours of high-quality movie battery time on their zune like I do?

 

 

 

(I once watched 3 movies without re-charging :D )

I have a Samsung. I dropped it, and when you position it weirdly, the hard-drive inside moves and it makes a buzzing noise.

 

 

 

That's...pretty much what keeps me awake on the bus. I move the player, BBBBZZZZZZ Ahh what the hell! I'm awake! Dang!!
