iPod 2010 iPod Nano

[rkmac]

Just wondering if u have an iPhone y do u need the nano? I know the phone is heavy and might be annoying to run with but.....$150 For a iPod when u can get a case to attach your arm or just in your pocket. As cool as it is that is a little steep, I'm trying to question your buying but I'm curious

I will NEVER run with my iPhone. I dont mind replacing a nano if I drop it while running, but an iPhone? No thanks. And it is a tad too big for running. Ive really been waiting a long time for something that is shuffle-sized but has a screen, and I think this is the closed its ever going to get.

I like it. I've gotten to used to my iPhone and still have a big use for a Nano. With my current 5G it's a little weird going back and forth, but with the new Nano it'll be a bit more "natural" just in a smaller proportion.

I'm just worried, like everybody else, that the screen will be too small. Plus, only seeing like 4 songs on the screen in a list sucks, I hope you can maybe shrink the list views to see more or something.

don't see how some ppl think the 5G is too big to exercise with.

for this purpose the 5G kills the 6G. skipping tracks, with the 5G i just reach in to my pocket and click. i can even press from outside the pocket because i can feel the wheel.

ipods are incredibly sensitive to sweat so wearing any ipod on an armband is out. going to use the headphones with remote? HA, try getting a drop of sweat on that.

5G is just far more practical from an exercise perspective.

I wear my headphones when it's raining out (ipod protected under rain gear) and have not had an issue.

Also, honestly, it's not the size if the fifth gen and fourth gen that make it annoying to work out, it's the shape. the third gen was great and fit in pockets awesomely. But by elongating it you make it so that it doesn't sit right as well in pockets (unless you have loose pockets but jean pockets) and doesn't even fit well in some pockets at all.

Plus, I do like that I can clip the nano anywhere (I don't work out, I just walk a dog, ride in a plane, and ride my motorcycle with my nano). For me that makes it more useful than just size that can fit in a pocket.

I will admit while flying with my roommate (he owns a small plane) yesterday I realized that the touch screen might be an issue there (I use the plane's headsets to listen to music which don't have a remote on them) as I do like to change the music without looking down. It's not as annoying as when walking (but I have headphones with remote for that) as with a dog pulling on one hand I have to stop if I have to take my ipod out to change something, but I still wonder how annoying it might be.

Get an armband and you can't drop it. Plus, I track my runs with various apps and GPS and can be available if someone needs to contact me in some emergency. Love running with my iPhone.

I really like the old model. The new nano feels more like an iPod touch mini, and while it has many nice features, I don't feel that it fully replaces the functionality found in the former iPod nano.

give it a year, it will have a whole bunch of new features! they are probably going to slowly re-add all the features that the 5G has over time

Yeah, I would expect they would at least re introduce being able to play video. Not sure about the video camera (that would add space and honestly, I am betting they got rid of it cause they showed few people really used that function plus I'm betting they want to push anyone who wants to have a camera/video camera on to the touch (which is better for that anyways).

I broke the tie in favor of the nano. But a tie shows a lot of things, considering that there are very few apple products that people don't want.

Personally, I think it'd be a pretty bad music player (I don't like the design for it much, in terms of ipods). It's also too expensive for a budget iPod. For $80 more, you get two cameras, a bigger screen, proper iOS, app store, retina display, wifi, bluetooth, improved battery life, and more.

I think apple should charge $79 for the 8GB Nano, $99 for the 16GB Nano, and probably $39 for the shuffle.

I'll probably buy one to use as an iWatch when apple gets the price down.

This is your opinion, which not everyone shares. Some people want an iPod to use as an iPod, and just that. They don't need nor care about cameras, Apps, etc. I am one of these people.

I just purchased a 5th gen iPod Nano as a temp replacement for a broken iPod Brick. Why did I purchase the 5th gen? I like the larger form factor and physical buttons. I couldn't care less about the bells and whistles. I care not for the video camera and I honestly think it's a stupidly useless feature.

People seem to forget that there are still many people that use an iPod music player as an iPod music player.

Hmm, I run with my iPhone 3Gs and use my headphones with mic.

I use it for the Nike+ features. I don't see what the big deal is. Maybe that's why I'm slower. Those few extra ounces and wind drag. Damn.
