 the new nano is just plain ugly

When I first saw the new design, I thought "noooo, it's the fatty!", but now I have one, and I love it to pieces. It's just so beautiful...

Well at this point, I'll have to eat some major humble pie, I got to play with one at the weekend, and the feckin thing is nice, really really nice. But as much as I like it, I will probably end up buying the iPod Classic tho. 

Just ordered a iPod classic 160Gb. I'll wait for either the iPhone or the iPod Touch once any bugs are ironed out!

I'm resisting the temptation to get an iPod touch so I can get an iMac at christmas. Don't want to spend too much.

My hero - Captain Sensible (in a completely non-derogatory sense). Either of the iPod Classic's are a bargain compared to the iPod Touch. Knowing you've had an 80Gb, the 160Gb is a logical upgrade - buying a 16Gb model for more money (suppoedly with more features) is lunacy!.

I take it you haven't used one then! Having used both an iPhone and iPod touch, I see exactly why it costs what it does, and actually seems rather cheap when you see how good it is when it comes to browsing the net, flicking through your favourite albums or viewing photos. I tend to use my Nano for listening to music now instead of my 80gb fifth gen, as CoverFlow is so much better to use than just a list. The iPod touch takes it to a whole new level...

I have had an iPhone for over 3 months.  I have used it extensively and have not noticed any bugs.  There are some things I think should be on the iPhone.  For example, there should be a way to save the SMS messages and also save photos sent to me by email.

The new feature that allows purchase of music from iTunes has cost me money.  It is too easy to use!

Classic has arrived - that was quick - and it is engraved!! They have changed the interface - nicer again - seems more grown up but as I am at work, it has no music on it! Maybe I will put the old one up as a prize though I must remember to wipe the music off it....

Hi JoC,

If you have an iMac computer in your home, you can use Elgato EyeTV software to convert movies and TV shows to become iPhone or iPod touch streamable to your iPod---at least when in range of your WiFi system, and then watch them on your iPod in the WiFi zone. Those you need to see 'off shore' can be easily selected to download to the iPod touch via the iMac, and 16GB is about 16 full length movoes, or 15 movies and 250 songs ... Do you really want to store all your audio-video content on one piece of equipment?

Cheers and have a Happy New Year!
