You are absolutely correct. What makes it worthless is that "squirting" was a worthless idea to begin with. The fact that Apple choose not to include it just means they were smarter than MS.

You can't compare wifi on the ipod because it doesn't have it even though Steve promised we'd have it for the Touch and 3G iphone with 2.0 during the developer conference.
Just another case where Apple over hypes and under delivers. In this case it's costing them a Class Action Lawsuit.
I wonder if the woman suing realizes that the phone was supposed to ship with WiFi access to the iTunes store.
Funny that most people said the same thing about the Fat Nano until they REALLY saw it...
very true, when i saw the pics online i thought it was ugly but when i saw it in stores i kind of liked it and grew on me.
From Apple Insider.
It appears they will be copying MS. August 7th 2008 article.

Quote fromt the article;
"Alternatively, iPods and iPhones could communicate with one another in a manner similar to that employed by Microsoft's Zune media players."
If you look very closely, you can see the cardboard packaging slips inside the transparent plastic, seem to have been cut out by hand...
Almost as though a pair of scissors were used.
It seems to be more obvious in image 10 out of 10:

What are you talking about? The Touch and iPhone have always had WiFi. You can also download from the iTunes store via WiFi. You can also do other things you'd expect with WiFi like browse the internet. Also, in relation to the iPhone 3G, I have no issues with reception or 3G speed.
There are also free 3rd party software titles available to stream your iTunes library to your iPhone 3G and plans for this feature to be included in future releases. Read the whole article you posted above WindowsGuy. It allows Zune like sharing but also no need to transfer your files to your pmp. You can access them via streaming over the net. It's called innovation when you improve on what already exists.
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
You can't look at a soft case that doesn't have the proper device in it and make a valid judgement about the case by looking at the pic that MacRumors supplied on their front page. If you look at the pic in the link below you can clearly see that the screen would not be curved in any way, only the side edges of the device, which is already common in other iPods. Check out the iPod Mini and see that the curve occurred right where the screen ended.

If this truly is the new Nano design then there will be something else that it does that will make it the thing to have. Touch screen or wifi or something that will make it better than the fatty was. Otherwise it basically looks like the old nano to me.
There will be something about it, that when you use it makes it blow the old Nano away or they wouldn't bother pushing it out.

Quote from the article: "New versions iTunes and the iPhone Software could theoretically eliminate this problem by syncing only the metadata -- or tiny files containing the barebones attributes of each media item or playlist but not the content itself -- from a user's iTunes library to their portable devices."
Also, this is a patent, you have no idea how this would be used by Apple. Apple is not patenting syncing without wires, they are illustrating a method of connected devices being interactive with each other. Try reading the 24-page patent filing instead of just grabbing a line that mentions the Zune.
NOT FOR TRANSFERRING MUSIC ONLY FOR INTERNET. 3RD PARTY APPS GIVE YOU THE ABILITY TO PLAY MUSIC NOT TRANSFER MUSIC.
BIG DIFFERENCE.
I wish
I wish I could look at these forums once in a while without having to read through a bunch of uninformed opinions about unreleased, unconfirmed and un-pictured Apple products from angry-sounding posters shouting, "It's ugly! Apple would never make that!"

Are there anymore pictures of this case? Im curious if there a USB port on the bottom or not, like the solid models have that were released awhile back
Exactly, stop living in the past. Eventually, there will not even be a need to transfer the actual files.
For the time being, I can download and listen to music from the iTunes WiFi store as needed. (ACTUAL FILES)

Other than people getting angry unconfirmed, unreported, unseen product speculation is what this site is about. For entirely optimisitic, glowing reviews of confirmed products you could try www.apple.com
To be honest, I would have a Nano designed like this, rather than the fat one (current). I never liked the fat nano- ever since the rumors started.
Get it before the page is pulled...

Personally I like this iPod nano - I always looked at the 2G Nano and always thought if only the screen was much taller and the scroll wheel was lower down - it would be great. And now they've done it... nice!
Yeah, but there used to be some discussion. Now it seems like 90% of the posters on this site just copy and paste" It's ugly." into every thread.
Frankly, it smacks of a viral, anti-Apple, propaganda campaign.
I mean, how upset can people really get about the slight rearrangement and re-proportioning of a circle and a rectangle? -- especially when no one has seen it yet?
The click-wheel is still a brilliant input control. I hope it never goes away. The touch screen is only good when looking at it, doesn't work in a pocket, and adds unnecessary cost to a device meant to play music.
