NaNo

erm...ignore this. i'll try again in a minute.

I'm looking the other way and pointedly ignoring this forum.

I like the nano but I've heard the screen scratches easily and the capacity is too small for me. :P

Just bought a regular ipod - 20 gig one. The nano is just too small for me fo sho. And I got little socks for my iPod and it's just so darned cute. *iPodLuv*

See, I LOVE the idea of flash vs a harddrive, though..... I'm just going to wait until the capacity is more.

So do I, but I'd like to see a larger capacity as well. My mini is 6 gigs...I think I'd be okay with 6 gigs of flash, maybe a little more.

yeah, same here. if they make a 30GB iPod nano, I'll buy it the minute it hits the stores. I'd say that's probably 2-3 years away. maybe a little less.

I would say probably less, given that Samsung is planning to release a 16 gig flash memory device in mid 06.

Throw a couple of those together, and you've got your 30 gig nano, plus an extra 2. :)

I agree w/that - harddrive sux0rz, but for my purposes, I need several gigs if not atleast 20.

Yeah.
Same here.... s'why I'm waiting.
:)

You're just so smart Naight.

The socks! They are adorable. I have this, in grey, and it's ugly. It also makes my iPod take up a lot more space...but I can drop it down a flight of stairs without incident, so it has its benefits.

That's cute, but mine, I have all diff colors and it's like having a child without 9 months of hell and all the diaper changing. I just have to feed it electricity, dress it in cute socks, and spend much quality time. Lil' Sweeney is my perfect firstborn!

"This Mini iPod Sleeve features a 3mm neoprene exterior with vulcanized neoprene sides."

What the hell? Vulcanized neoprene sides? I'll have to ask Spock to clarify that one.

I have this, in grey, and it's ugly.

I said it was ugly. :)
it's just really, really...protected.

Neoprene: A rubber elastomer jacket material providing excellent cold temperature flexibility, abrasion resistance and flame retardance. Ideally suited for outdoor, field deployable cables and repeated flexing applications.

Vulcanized: (used of rubber) treated by a chemical or physical process to improve its properties (hardness and strength and odor and elasticity)

exactly. it's harder, stronger, more elastic, and it doesn't smell. :)

hmmmm, kind of like the king of spain

Did anyone else think of Mork and Mindy when they saw this forum title?

WriMo?

yes. hence the nanowrimo topic i started next. this one was an accident, but apparently no one else has gotten that. :P

i think they did, but decided to have with this one anyway ;)

There's a NaNWriMo topic?

I got it...thought it was a funny accident and turned it into an iPod thread. ;)

As Bob Ross, the quickie painting teacher on TV, always said, "There are no mistakes, only happy accidents."

'xactly. :)

and happy trees, and happy little bushes, and happy happy clouds...

yeah.....

That guy took a lot of painkillers, I think.

I loved him, he made me smile.

You got the idea, it is just like playing Marco Polo but on the Internet.

Nano!

Wrimo!

It's that time of year again!

I totally want the 8 gig red nano, OMG!!1! Red is my favourite colour. :D

The 8 gig nano only comes in black.  The red (as well as the other colorful options) are only available in the 4 gig model.
The only reason I'd recommend getting the 8 gig (seeing as it's the same price as the 30 gig) would be if you plan on using your iPod while running or doing other high-impact exercise.

(Ah, Apple employee autopilot mode.  Gotta love it.)

The 8 gig nano comes in black and, just recently, red, due to customer demand. The red one was announced last week. :)

What I like about the nano (I'm currently using a 1st generation 2 gig white nano that came free with my sister's MacBook Pro...I ordered it for her and she already had a new 60 gig so I claimed the nano, hee hee) is that it takes up so little room and weighs so little that I can stick it in my purse pocket and carry it around everywhere and it's like it's not even there. With my 3rd generation 40 gig iPod I found I was sometimes leaving it at home because I didn't have room for it or to make my bag less heavy, lol. Of course the newer ones take up less room and probably weigh a little less too but I still like the portability of the nano and I don't think I need to carry around my entire music collection anyway. That and it's so cute. :)

Heh, kind of embarrassing I need to find out this way as opposed to through work... I've been out of work for the past week due to a sprained ankle. 

Sprained ankle in mouth now, that's for sure.

Hee hee, s'okay. I hope your ankle gets better soon, that sucks. :S

The cult of Apple strikes again. Is there a deprogrammer in the house?

I will resist buying teh iPod!

I have a Creative Zen Vision:M 30GB in Black that I just love. I'm looking into getting a flash player at some point and eying the Creative Zen V Plus or the Cowon iAudio U3.
