iPod Nano 6G - ridiculous

Sign in to disble this ad
My wife just got me one of these. I put 2,400+ songs in it. I remember thinking how cool my cassette Walkman was, back in the day. This is like a tiny little iPad, sort of. Just ridiculous. It's going to be fun running it through the PA for break music.

Nice to see you enjoying your tech candy.

That thing is way too small. I like my device a little bit hefty so I know it's still inside my pocket, and not laying on some side walk. Plus, 24 hours of play back time isn't a lot considering how battery life drains after so many charges.

Yeah, but this one has a clip! I still have my old 60 GB full-size dinosaur, and it's still going strong.

One thing that bugs me about this type pf Apple thingy (iTouch, iPad, iPod, etc.) is that they don't put USB ports on them and you have to deal with their parochial iTunes software. Also, you'd think they could put a slot for a micro SD card in there.

I have the last generation Shuffle and I clip it to my shorts when I go walking. It has never fallen off. Not enough weight for it to even lean a bit. It's safe. The clips are pretty heavy duty.

+1 Maybe the next generation will have the Micro SD slots.

I don't know if we'll ever see an Apple music player with any sort of expandability. It goes against their market strategy of keeping their product usage proprietary.

Well, they did put AA batteries in their wireless computer peripherals.

I think it's the same size. Maybe even the same case.

The Nano is about 3/16" of an inch taller and wider. I'd bet the difference is small enough that unless they were side by side you wouldn't notice though.

These look great. I want one. I've had a Shuffle for a long time, the smaller one, and it's the perfect size for workouts and cardio. The thing I've hated about it is that you can't find the songs you are looking for on it. This would fix all that.

I have a Gen 4 Nano.

These things to me are really really cool, and really stupid at the same time.

Although I would consider one just for the Mono option if nothing else. I use 1 earphone at least 90% of the time, and listening to drums and vocals is not all that interesting.
