iPod nano sales get pwned

[Byte]

Most places only sold 1/4 of their inventory, not wildfire burnt hotcakes as some predicted. Maybe i can get one for under retail and buy some cheesecake afterwards.

well if there's 3 varients of a very similar product, they can't expect to sell out like nuts. Everyone whose wanted an iPod by now has gotten one, either that or a Mini...

 

[IAteYourMother]

err... it's been out for less than a week, or about that long. It's selling.

 

[intogamer]

too expensive... so little space

 

[LuckyTaxi]

im getting one at the end of this month. I "stole" my gf's ipod and she wants her own.

 

[venk]

everyone who wants an ipod already has one. Why would they plunk down another $200 to buy the same old product in a smaller package?

 

[ShadowBlade]

Good

 

[Minjin]

Short AAPL.

I was going to buy one but, I already have an mp3 player... So I probably won't get another one until the one I have breaks.

Have a friend that picked it up, damn it's thin as hell though it still doesn't hold a candle to my phone :heart: I bet if I were to get more music on there that was OGG instead of space consuming low quality MP3, I'd get siginificantly more space than the best Ipod shuffle because of the better compression scheme.

why buy an iPod nano when you know the iPod pico is only 9 mo. away?

 

[blurredvision]

I'd like to buy one this coming weekend, but I'm trying to talk myself out of it.

EDIT: I just thought, where is the proof of your statement? You could've just made that up on the spot, and starting a flame war because you're bored.

Mods, I suggest locking this thing up in a few minutes if he doesn't provide some proof of what he just typed.

I ordered mine. It should be here tomorrow. 4GB in black. I got a 1gb shuffle as a gift and love it but I wanted something with more space and a screen... 3 weeks later the nano comes out. Now I just need to sell the shuffle.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Well, I'll buy one...and I'll tell a friend.

 

[Rock Hydra]

I'm thinking the same thing as most other people here. When most people have an iPod already, how do they expect them to sell?

 

[Ciber]

Umm, source?

And that means what? Why should anybody care how many Ipods sold unless you own stock in Apple.

 

[Powermoloch]

With that money I can have around 180 carl's junior spicy chicken burgers. enough to last me for a couple of months . Not worth getting an Ipod nano atm..

Yup, no thanks.

Although we are getting an Ipod Shuffle for free in the mail sometime soon... goes right to my wife.

ROTFL! If somebody told that to me, straight in my face, I'd be physically rolling on the floor laughing. Having 4GB Nanos out of stock in basically the entire greater Los Angeles area and they're not selling well? LOL

"[The] black-colored ones are outselling the white ones by a great deal," Wu wrote in a research note released to clients on Tuesday. "5 to 1 and in some cases as high as 8 to 1." Coincidentally, these sales ratios completely contrast Apple's initial production ratios of the nano, which reports suggest were 1 black nano for every 5 to 8 white nanos.

AppleInsider's own checks reveal that at least two other retail locations had sold out of the 4GB black model, but retained stock of all other models.

i'd like one, but i doubt i'll be buying one until it allows drag and drop transfers.

People are spending 3x than normal for gas and other necessities these days. No mulas for nanos.
