actually, you're wrong. I bought a nano, and im still happy i bought it. People probably bought the nanos for their size, not capacity, these new ones are just as big as the old ipod photos, they jsut play video, big deal i bought my nano to listen to while skiing.

sweet...the only shitty thing about IPODS are that:

"# Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. Battery life and the number of charge cycles vary by use and settings. See www.apple.com/batteries for more information."

this shits been around forever, i have a pocket pc, its sick, it has a camera, video, music, instant messanger, internet access, a gps, games, pictures, a photo editing program, and sooo much more crap, oh yeah, the screen is waaay bigger (and its a touch screen) and i got it all for like 400-500 bucks, if you want video (which is dumb to watch on a 3 inch screen) watch it on a pda or at least a laptop.

but i also got the new 60 gig color ipod cas i only have 4 gigs of storage on my palm (and i didnt know what else to get for my birthday). but yeah everyone knows apple drops newer and newer stuff all the time, so if you buy now theres just going to be something newer in a little while, i'm sure they will improve this one later on by making the battery last longer or something, its just how apple makes its dinero.

(god damn i wrote a lot)

that right there pretty much makes it not worth buying, unless you dont have an ipod already. -2 hours of video is pretty usless, especially if after those 2 hours, you cant listen to music.

i mean it would be great for ski trips where you watch the vid in the car and then listen to tunes on the mt. but you cant do that because of the batt life.

no, not at all. they are trendy, and that is what they reily on. there have been video players out for a damn while, and I bet they ahve better batt life while playing videos. apple, now makes the smallest one, and parhaps its a bit cheaper then the others, but its at a price. battery life matter a lot. plus, the screen is really small compaired to other protable hdd video players.

lol a 2 hour battery life and thats what they advertise you gotta say its around maybe an hour and a half at most prolly an hour. Thats crap, they released it too early. Should've boosted the battery life before doing this.

Uhhh...seems like a PSP without the video games now. Plus it's more expensive. And personally I couldn't see myself watching a movie on a 2.5 inch LCD screen, I don't think you'd get the whole "feel".
