Thank you for the new iPod Nano!

Now let's pray for them to give us back the 6 GB model.

Hehe, we don't ask for much, right? ;-) My information is that the 4GB iPod nano actually uses two flash-memory chips, which pretty much pushes the limit of how much you can cram onto such a small circuitboard. And even then, they're producing them at a slight loss, which they hope to make back in follow-on sales.

FINALLY! A white one...I may have to acquire one now...then again...what do I need two for? I'll have to contemplate on that a bit more.

I'd be surprised if the vast majority of people ever use more than 2GB for their entire collection. I think mine (music only) is around 3 to 4GBs right now, and maybe 1/10 of those are songs I listen to on the iPod or in the car. I'm just too lazy to uncheck the ones I never listen to.

BTW, if anyone has a newer (2001/2003+) Clarion head-unit in their car, that CeNET iPod controller works pretty nicely. 1000000x better than using the iTrip FM transmitter. 2003 up models have full functionality, 2001-2002 models just won't display ID3 info (title, artist, etc.). I wonder if the Nano will work with this...you'd think it would.

It's nice to see others so hyped up about the new iPod Nano. I see I'm not alone. I feel better now.

I haven't decided on black or white yet (I like the look of the black and it wouldn't show every speck of grime, but the white one matches my iBook). Decisions, decisions! I *do* know that I'll be purchasing the 2GB, though--200 bucks is all I can afford right now. Besides, it holds 500 songs--that's plenty for me.

Happy iPodding to y'all!

I guess I'll really have to either opt for the 2 GB or wait for a 6 or 8 GB version. Because I can't really delete 2/3's of my collection, and If I only take part of my collection with me, 2 GB is enough, too, since I won't listen to much more in a week or two, anyway... Hmm... Decisions, decisions... It's clearly white for me, though. Only a white iPod is a real iPod.
