  1. Shake to shuffle. Nice.

    But I’ll eat crow, I insisted the nano was going touch..

    Ah well, been wrong before, I’ll be wrong again..

    I’m quite surprised though that Apple hasn’t found a way to get the App store on their best selling mobile device..

    Maybe next generation.

  2. What a dopey commercial. MAC has no taste. I think when you compare smug elitist advertising like this one from MAC and the brilliant and insightful Gates/Seinfeld ads from Microsoft you can’t help but get the feeling you’re watching MAC go down in flames while Microsoft just soars higher with each innovative and revolutionary announcement. Yesterday’s incredible Zune news has to be crushing to the copycats in Cupertino. Too bad for you, MAC dorks.

    Your potential. Our passion.™

  3. Well, My 3rd Gen Fat Nano will be on eBay soon. I just ordered a 4th Gen.

    I actually missed my 2nd Gen Nano when I sold it. I liked how the body resisted scratches. With this one like the 2nd Gen Nano & with a Glass screen, Who Needs a Silicon Skin. Only to cushion falls.

  4. > I wonder if Apple saw nano sales take a dive with the 3G model. Something made them reverse course.

    Apple has to keep changing things up when it comes to iPods. Otherwise, existing customers won’t buy new ones. Since the screen is the same size, I’m not sure having to turn it sideways to watch video is better. However, this form factor is better for the next obvious upgrade… a wide screen.

  5. Why all the P**s & moaning? It’s a Let’s Rock Event. By that title, you should already know what the theme of this event is.

    Besides, I believe I’ve heard of another event coming this year. If not, wait for MacWorld in about 3 months for new Macs.

  6. What a dopey commercial. PC has no taste. I think when you compare smug elitist advertising like this one from PC and the brilliant and insightful Get a Mac ads from Apple you can’t help but get the feeling you’re watching PC go down in flames while Apple just soars higher with each innovative and revolutionary announcement. Yesterday’s incredible iPod news has to be crushing to the copycats in Redmond. Too bad for you, PC dorks.

    Your potential. Our Blunder.™

  7. Does anyone else remember … gee, maybe as much as a week back? – when this design was leaked and so many (nobody HERE, of course) had so many negatives to rant about? “They DID that shape already!” “Looks PhotoShopped!” “That’s UGLY.” And more. And more.
    Now.
    Here it is.
    And how the tunes have changed!
