Good one Apple, replace a perfectly good product with an smaller, expensive version of the iPod photo... ($300 for 2GB wtf?)
The nano's marketability will go up when the prices will drop and there's some way to customise it's appearance. Black and white is pretty limited as far as colours go.

They introduced the 'tubes' - covers in fluro colours. Not as nice as the casing for the mini, and overpriced, but a way to customise the appearance. I think black and white were a good move, the mini was a deviation from the collection in its looks.
I fail to see why people don't understand that this thing is highly marketable, it's slightly taller than a business card, slightly less wide than a business card and a stack of 7 business cards high (so I have read).
I understand the complaints, all of them, but what I don't understand is that people don't realise that replacing the mini with this was a good move for apple. I think they're going to sell like hotcakes.

If people on BoS can detect its flaws, I don't see why others wouldn't be able to.

Well i havent bought any of the Ipods and i guess this one dominates all of them . I dont really listen to 1000 + songs so yeah this one is perfect. The only downsize is the price ......
Oh and whats up with the free engraving ????

Im guessing that you would have to buy directly from Apple ? and its not one of those Do - It - Yourself kinda thingsjm1234567890 said:
Oh we're not criticising their marketability, on the contrary, thats the point of our arguments (well mine), they've become so effective at it, that the mere mention of i- anything will basically be a success for them. The problem being that, as they have shown with the product, they are able to give an inferior product for the price, and still sell it like hotcakes. Something along the lines of ripping the proverbial balls off the consumer through their wallets.iambored said:

I just bought the ipod nano an hour ago , it looks really cool . Its kinda expensive though considering Ipod mini is $300 for 4 gigs . But Nano is smaller and has a colour screen so yeah .
All in all im quite happy with it so far . I hope i dont misplace it though , its really tiny

i got a 40 GB mono screen iPod at the end of last year, and am very happy with it..
why are so many people focussing on its negatives like lower battery life, instead of the positives, like colour screen, and the smaller physical size of it?
i just wonder if sony came up with exactly the same idea, with same features, only a sony outside casing and badging, if people would be hacking on it as much?

I dunno. I'm not doubting it's selling power. Everything Apple releases will sell, including expensive, bizarre, impractical accessories.iambored said:
I tend to think that i am (student/part time work/18-20s) the market that the mini and the nano are designed for.
Personally, i would much rather have longer battery life than colour screen. I would also prefer metallic un-scratchable colours than something that's thinner and marginally (0.25cm) shorter. And lastly, i think that (atm) the nano is a rip off.
But hey, i wouldn't mind one

Somethin' special....
I have a sherwood 128mb mp3 player with the same (maybe slightly smaller) proportions as this new nano....people are always very impressed when they see how thin it is....unfortunately now I won't be so cool with this new ipod coming out!

I challenge you to find a cheaper MP3 player of similar specswhiterabbit said:
Samsung gave apple a huge discount on the memory, I doubt any other company could match it in 6 months time.
that nano thing is a rip off,
but i d rather a mirobe which looks better ,holds a gig more,cheaper by 10 bucks
and i was alos thinking the nano screen could be a bit small to actually watch anything on it which blows the use of the colour screen,with that money better off getting a psp with a memory stick
