where are the admins for this site. Thisa is clearly for ipod daily news…yet MACdailynews seems to have been overrun. I don’t want ipod crap taking up all the space in MACdaily news. methinks its time to dump this site. there are lots of sites that report on MAC news and keep ipod news sperate….bye
Hey yawn,
If you don’t want to read the story, why did you click the headline?
From MDN’s “Contact” page:
Our mission is to scour the Web for articles that interest Mac and Apple product users, remark on the content of these articles, provide news about Apple Computer, Inc. and their products, and to opine about all things related to Apple and the Mac.
Most importantly, MacDailyNews exists to provide a place for our readers and the Mac community to discuss these daily news items in their own words with real-time feedback.
Keep up the great work, MDN and ignore idiots like “yawn.”
Right now there isn’t any Mac news of consequence anyway, so what are you complaining about? Besides, if you don’t like it, then don’t read it.
Yawn, you clicked the headline to read this and post your complaint. Made you look! Sorry, but if you don’t want to read it, scour the headlines and click on news stories you want to read. Ignore the ones you don’t want to read. It’s only common sense.
Since Macs and iPods are both made by Apple and often of interest to the same people, why make everyone look at BOTH sites?
They should do this:
MacDailyNews has all the Mac stuff plus SOME iPod stuff. iPodDailyNews would have even more iPod stuff.
Oh wait, that’s the way it already is

And if you don’t want ANY iPod stuff you just don’t click.
i wonder what the quantitative difference is b/w the different rankings. are there two or three times more 1 gig shuffles, for example, selling than the 512 mb san disk players?
Actually, “i have an idea”, iPod Daily News usually seems to be a near-exact copy of MDN, with a few incredibly trivial additions, usually product announcements. All the important iPod news is copied here, so I quit visiting the other site.
If MDN wants two sites, they should have two sites. Right now the difference between the two sites is so minor, there’s no point. My guess is the only reason the site exists is to get hits from Windows-using iPod owners who wouldn’t visit a “Mac” site.
There are only TWO nano models. I hardly think a ‘model’ is any different based on what color it is.
Geez, guys. Bleh.
Well I checked out the iPod nano today in Osaka. Hmm, picked it up, played with it a bit. Works really well however, I wonder if it is a too thin. Not tactile enough. It’s wonderfully small but not much to hold in your hands. The mini is really popular here with women due to the variety of colors. I wonder if the next version of the nano should come in more colors.
