iPod Another iPod nano 4G case released

I swear, you people. This happens every time. "OMG IT'S SO UGLY WHY WOULD APPLE PUT OUT SUCH AN UGLY POS?!?!?!?!"

Two weeks later, you bought it and make a thread stating how much you love it, blatently ignoring your earlier posts.

Pssh, whatever. Have fun with your flaming/praising.

Is there any possibility that this case was made out of rumors?

There is a strong chance that it was, but with this one single rumor being so popular and being backed-up several times by several different sources, I think that there is a very good chance that it will be this design. But I am hoping that it was truly made out of rumors.

I won't if this proves to be true, I am not at all a fan of the curved screen with the long-vertical design, whenever I look at this design I am reminded of the Zune which I hate. If Apple goes through with this, then it will just seem like a knockoff of the Zune.
 
You mean the paper insert? It's not an actual iPod. Stop saying this looks like the Zune. If you would recall, the Zune looks like the previous generation Nano...

I'm sure it's just a piece of cardboard. Most cases are sold with a fake paper or cardboard iPod (or other device) inside the case, to help the consumer visualize what it will look like with their product.

People seem really desperate to disbelieve this... :rolleyes:

It could be one of those paper cut-outs that they throw inside to give a visual of what it would look like with an iPod in it, or it could be a 2nd generation iPod nano, which looks like it would fit inside this.

Agree Completely. It happened with the current nano...

Maybe Apple is just copying Microsoft and they want the market share.

Zune, Ipod, same case for both music players. It's brilliant.

Except the Zune has WiFi and the iPod doesn't. Who's the innovator and who's the follower?

Except that the Zune's screen took up a larger portion of the front of the device than the iPod nano (1st & 2nd generations) did; which seems like Apple is now trying to copy what the Zune did with the portion of the device that the screen took up.

how many times people have to say that the screen/display is curved? shss, the screen isn't curved, the only thing that COULD BE curved is the case. and could easily be curved just in the edges, for the tapered look and feel. gotcha?:rolleyes:
 
I think the new tall screen is a great idea. It allows you to see a longer list of song titles, or menu options, while upright. Then you can turn it on its side for watching video on a widescreen.

Shhhhhh...you forgot to say that the Zune blatantly copied the previous Nano...but it's ok, we forgive you...and Wi-Fi on the Zune is useless anyway...:rolleyes:
 
Curve

Not that I am a fan of the curved screen, but....

If the Screen is only slightly curved, would it be that noticeable? Also, the screen may not actually be curved, it may be set underneath a curved window of glass/plastic. Or, if it is curved, does anyone know if there are any benefits to a curved screen? (i.e. making the image look bigger).

I still have no idea why they went back to the old form-factor. Meh. Curved screen = odd.

The candybar style is easier to hold. That seems to the be the biggest complaint with the fatty nano.

The screen in one pic isn't curved, only the front at the edges, just past the screen are curved. The screen can't be curved. Too many problems are created and not one solution is created to balance out such a decision in any way.

I think that the return to the candybar style with side-displayed widescreen video, like the Zune, is definite, but how is Apple going to solve the controller issue. I can't imagine that Apple would use static images for the controller buttons when they want you watch video. Other companies wouldn't care, but not Apple.

Why would they create a case with a curved cover if the screen wasn't curved. It would produce shadows and make the screen hard to read.

Face it. It's curved and looks like a Zune with smoother corners.
 
I don't really have an opinion on this "potential" new iPod.

But this type of thing has got to be pissing Jobs off. He has got to be torn between having complementary products available at the time of launch, just-in-time inventories and his compulsive desire to control every little thing that is Apple related. Poor guy.;)
 
I don't like it... but I didn't like the 3G nanos at first either, and now I think they're adorable (gave one to my gf). So I won't jump to conclusions this time.
 
It would be a natural progression given that the previous "tall" nano did not play video. Windowsguy, don't even get into an argument about Zunovation. Given Apple's revolution of the portable music player market, I think you have very little room to argue. The iPod nano is not the only player Apple has available. Compare wifi on an iPod touch to your "fabulous wifi" on your Zune.
 
i just don't get why they'd go back the tall and thin design...especially after just 1 iteration.. surely the iPod fatty has been selling ok?

i dont like the curved screen at all... and i won't be getting it anyway as i <3 my iPhone :D

i hope for one that this design was purposely leaked by apple to get the hype and rumor mill going, and then what they really reveal is something completely different!!!

my 0.000002 worth ..hehe

Steve is quoted at the developers conference saying we'd have WiFi access to iTunes.

Couldn't deliver so now it's useless? You'd rather use Edge, USB or 3G for the slower access? You wouldn't like to be able to transfer one playlist to your other iPod.

Just because Steve couldn't deliver what was promised again doesn't make it useless.

I personally would love it and be free to move my music and videos over a high speed network.

that's the real point, and my only complain (so far) about this "new" nano! i don't think the screen will be curved, it's silly, having a screen that is curved from left to right, and we all know that the ipod will be for watching videos horizontally, so the curve will be from top to bottom sometimes. so what's the point?! there won't be a curved screen, MAYBE just the case! ;)

just my 2 cents
