iPod nano
By Matt Margolis | September 8, 2005
Apple just announced there latest iPod, the iPod nano. I have to say it looks pretty darn cool.
With 2G and 4G models of the nano, it apparently is taking the place of the iPod mini, which is bound to make iPod mini owners really upset. Of course, I’d be upset if I had an iPod shuffle, because the nano gives you the the best parts of the shuffle (lightweight, small size) with the features you’d get with the iPod mini (a screen and big click wheel) not to mention the fact that the screen of the nano is in full color.
I have a 40G iPod myself. While I prefer an iPod with that kind of size, there is definitely a great deal of appeal to the iPod nano… With this new iPod, the iPod shuffle may lose sales. The iPod nano is 1.5 ounces and the iPod shuffle is .78 ounces — a negligible difference for someone interested in an iPod to take to the gym, and of course you get the full color screen, and 1,000 songs with the nano instead of no screen and only 240 songs with the shuffle… I’d take the nano any day.

The nano does look very cool. I have a 10GB iPod in my desk. Got it about 3 years ago and haven’t used it in about 2.9 years. I just don’t listen to a lot of music. I also think prices need to drop big time on these things… $199 for 2GB and $249 for 4GB.

I ride my bike (well, I try to) 15+ miles every day. People wearing these things jogging and on bikes are my second biggest hazard behind cars. The trail I ride on requires a verbal warning when passing. It doesn’t do much good with someone listening to rock-n-roll at peak volume.
That being said. They do look cool. But I’m with Gym on the prices. I’ll have to win one to own one.
