Get an iAudio X5. It plays movies, views pictures, and can hold 10x the music as that little thing.

it's flash based and WAY smaller than the X5
it's like comparing apples to celery. :roll:

Yeah, the iPod Nano seems overpriced to me. Sure, it's small, but $250 for a 4 GB MP3 player? My 30 GB iPod Photo was only $100 more than that 6 months ago!

Oh, and I still gotta bitch about the lack of a radio. Hell, even my $30 Sony Walkman came with a radio!

iPod > Everyone else...

And I know there are people out there who will agree with me. That is why the iPod simply outsells every other mp3 player combined.

Dude, its as thin as a pencil. It will fit in the CHANGE pocket in your jeans. Yes, the change pocket! And flash memory is more expensive than HD so you can't compare them.

Honestly the iPod bashing is getting lame. Sure it was much appreciated when Apple had the battery fiasco and when they were selling for $399. But since then they keep getting smaller, thinner, lighter, more battery life, color screens, and CHEAPER. Plus they have always worked with no problems, and iTunes is some of the best music management software with NO BLOATWARE like Real or MusicMatch (latest version uses less memory than before too.) I challenge you to find ANY flash-based player with 4GB, color screen, .27" thin and under $250.

I have two mp3 players now and both are the best I've used. One is the 20GB iPod, the other is a 3-year old Rio flash that I use at the gym and when running. I tried others from Samsung and Sony and they sucked ass...syncing music did not work 100% so I dumped them.

Dammit I want one... but I already have a 6 GB iPod mini.

 

[MustISO]

I'm just glad SOMEONE finally came out with a 4GB flash drive MP3 player. Can't wait for the 8GB+ models some day.

 

[ai42]

bump

I might want if ...
- they were larger than 4 GB
- could replace the battery without sending in to Apple and paying $67
- could load my own MP3s without iTunes

 

[Rudee]

iPods are so yesterday.

 

[Trevelyan]

8GB in that size would be sweet... give it 6 months maybe.

You don't REALLY need iTunes to load your MP3's to an iPod. You can mount it as an external hard drive and copy over files that way.

Linux users also have a program called GTKPod as a substitute for iTunes.

Agreed. People with those fugly mp3 players always have to go out of their way and hate ipods.

Agreed. People with those functional mp3 players always have to go out of their way and hate ipods.

Agreed.

Sweet!!!!!

I would really like to see the white one as well!

 

[Overkiller]

Getting mine on tuesday I believe. Anyone use ephpod? I presume it will work fine with the nano like it does with the regular ones.

 

[intogamer]

[BooGiMaN]
