So yea now they do video, they are also much thinner, hold more, have even longer battery life, and to top it off..  they\'re $50 cheaper!

Waits for mm\'s negativity.

I don\'t need to upgrade mine, it would be a waste, but it would certainly be nice for someone who doesn\'t own one yet.

mine doesn\'t do video, but I\'d never do that anyway.  Only thing that would have been cool had I waited was the larger screen.

portable mp3 player + video = lame

you need your ass kicked if you\'re watching music on a 2.5" screen

oh, and apple = whores
what a way to kill a fad by saturation

As long as they make them smaller, with longer battery they can churn out as many new models as they want.

I just got a new one a month ago... they\'re not even selling the U2 one anymore which is the one I got.  It is cool though to be able to play videos on your iPod.  Although the main users of the iPod probably won\'t buy into it.

Interesting.  Now this time, Apple does seems to woe me into getting interested in their Apple Ipods.  I never own one, don\'t care about.  But this model does actually make me pay a good attention to it.  30 GBytes, play songs, photo, and video, thinner, longer battery life, all for $300?  Cool.

But again, I won\'t be getting one anytime soon, but I am quite amaze at Apple latest effort.

Why would anyone want to jack off to a 2.5" screen?

well if you\'re on the road, small as it may be it sure beats ones imagination.

a 2.5" screen is pretty big 2.5 inches from your face

That\'s one sexy Ipod... I\'d be all over it if I didn\'t already have an mp3 player.

This replace the iPod Photos former tier.

How is this over saturation? People who complain about Apple seem to be complete tools.

well mm has some sort of a point.  If apple keeps releasing new Ipods every month its going to make the consumer afraid of buying one.  Who wants to buy a new Ipod when a new and better might replace it in a day?

The Mini and the old 20 gig sold very well. (https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.penny-arcade.com%2Fforums%2Fimages%2Fsmiles%2Ficon_confused.gif&hash=b11bc1cc4a9be4e4e25e286aa834266d9a1efafa)

still selling well?

They\'re phased out now, I don\'t see why would they.

Apples biggest cash cow was their iPods. Even doubting this is stupidity.

The iPod nano is the dumbest thing I\'ve ever seen. I\'d lose that in a week.

It\'s dumb because you\'d lose it?

I\'m happy. My old Ipod broke(it fell...out of window) so now I get  a refund since I bought a warranty and I\'m just buying the video one for the hell of it with it.
Title: fffffffffffudge (new apple ipod)
Post by: Mr. Kennedy on October 14, 2005, 12:52:23 PM
alright its settled, no buying a new iPod for at least 2 years for me... by then it will start your car and cook you breakfast in the morning.

Is Apple offering to replace/trade-in obsolete ipods , with new (video, picture, etc.) ipods?

I\'m going to buy this. And a Game Boy Micro. Then I\'m going to stack up some more cash and just set it on fire and dance around in the ashes of money well spent.
