Smooth Operator 10 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Anyone know owt about them? I know they hold 1000 songs but anything else of note eg price etc. It's my birthday next month and i'm thinking of getting one of these after seeing an advert on tv last night, they llok cool and are really small. Was gonna get a shuffle but seems outdated now these nano's are the new thing from Apple. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I'm always puzzled why people can't seek out this info for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 22014 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I quite fancy one but I'm not sure. I have a deep loathing of iTunes, and don't trust its battery. I'll probably wait for the equivalent Sony or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically I hate the monopolistic attitude of Apple - I want something I can just drag and drop with MS windows, downloaded from anywhere. As for the batteries, I guess it's just luck.

I mean without faffing around downloading software. And if I can, does this mean I am not forced to buy from Apple after all? If so, then I guess I'm interested.

The Mighty Hog 526 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 VHS thrived over Betamax because it was the format that porn came out on. From what I heard Betamax gave better picture and sound quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
