hello iPod Nano and ROKR cellphone

[tvmann]

New Apple iPod - has a colour display, flash memory 2 or 4 GB, small and thin, C$249 & $299,

and goodbye iPod Mini - being dropped even though it's a nice product - probably because ppl would like the nano better. They were giving away the mini to students who bought the iBook laptop a few weeks ago.

ALSO Apple and Motorola announced they have an iTunes-capable GSM cellphone called ROKR available in USA in a few days, holds about 100 songs. In Canada it is coming to Rogers (or maybe Fido?) in about a month. This is the first "iPod cellphone". Initial reports are that it's not that hot a product, it can't download tunes online, must be loaded from your computer.

The phone is made by Motorola and initially available in USA on Cingular's network, try http://www.motorola.com or http://www.cingular.com for info:

I've been playing mp3's on my Treo for 2 years already.

That Nano is cool but it doesn't do anything my phone can't. But it is out just in time for Christmas.

Yeh i had an ipod from like 5 years ago and its the original big blocky 5GB haha. This nano could make me upgrade although i was wishing they build in FM radio into something like that, would make it much more worth it.

What do you guys think of this?

a friend just picked up the bose dock for her ipod, surprisingly loud and pounds more than enough for any apartment, quite impressive. but i wouldn't expect any less from bose.

[~god~]

yeah bose doesn't distribute crap.

I'm buying an ipod next week and even though I KNOW i'm getting the 20GB, and it's a much better deal, there's still a part of me that really wants the nano cause it's just so damn cute.

I blame this on being female :p
