What's special about the new ipod?
I've seen commercials about a new iPod coming out..I believe it's the iPod nano? I have the "last year" version of the nano. It's the real small, square version that shows video too and it's a light blue. So what's really different about the new nano? Is it just the shape and more color choices? Cause as far as I can tell, the new 8GB holds the same amount of songs and so on. What would be a persons reason to go to this new version if you already have the "last year" version of the nano, which seems almost exactly the same?
nothing special, just another iteration..
If you want special, find one without proprietary connectors, basic functionality such as hard bookmarking and true innovation like stereo bluetooth, high quality audio recording, a good fm tuner and an sd slot. For example, the Insignia Pilot (sadly discontinued), Creative Zen X-Fi and the Cowon D2. iPods aren't bad products but I find them limiting and occasionally frustrating. If it's iTunes that keeps you locked into Apple products, switch to Amazon drm-free downloads or buy a drm stripping tool. I have a favorite but there are several others out there that are pretty good.
