alexchu2643 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Not when you can pick up the 30Gb for 172. My 30Gb 5th gen arrived the other day...****ed or what? Then again, I don't even use it for video. Can games be played on the 5th gen or is it only on this newer 6th gen? Apple did not announce the 6G mainline iPods, just upgrades to the 5G. With a firmware upgrade, last year's mainline and the new mainline iPods are the same (in software). The only new features are a bigger hard drive on the top end, higher capacity batteries, and a brighter screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raa Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Im not terribly happy I've got a 60gb 5G iPod. I dont get any upgrades - I have to PAY for the "upgrade" to a new iPod. Shame Apple. Shame. Edit : Read that using iTunes 7 will upgrade my iPod. I'm okay with that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 What is this new iTV thing? Anyone got any pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowRanger13 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 What is this new iTV thing? Anyone got any pics? iTV is just the codename. Do a search here or go to engadget they have some info on it there. Basically looks like a Mac Mini but not as tall and there is no external power connector. Composite, Component, Optical, HDMI, Ethernet connections. Suppsto be released at $299 USD I belive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I saw this on the Neowin homepage and it confused me: The gadget - which has the working name of iTV, but shouldn't be confused with the UK's first-ever commercial broadcaster - is apparently scheduled to ship in Q1 2007, when it will cost $299. It resembles an iPod mini, but looked to be one-third the size of that device. At least that clears it up. Neowin must of made an error on the front page.

Corvanus Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I have a 10 GB 3rd Gen iPod that I absolutely love. I was hoping for a 10 GB Nano, but an 8 GB will do since all of the songs that I have on my 10 GB will fit on the Nano. What's stopping me is the price when I consider the cost difference between the Nano and the 30 GB model :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's stopping me is the price when I consider the cost difference between the Nano and the 30 GB model :( Seems like a easy choice to me, you can pay $31 per GB of storage or pay $8.3. Then again spring for the 80GB model and you only pay $4.36 a gigabyte. Is the longer battery life and smaller size worth it for the nano? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obsolete_power Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Who needs an 80 gig iPod? Now that itunes allows for Movie downloads, an 80 gig iPod finally makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeR Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 So I got the new iPod, and this might sound weird but I find the screen too bright when set to high :cool: ...the games though look amazing, I can't believe the graphics are this good.

ck2k01 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Im not so sure about that new shuffle. Maybe it'll grow on me in person, but it seems a bit radical of a design change. Is the belt clip permanent? Others look good, although personally I was more of a fan of the nano impersonating the looks of the larger iPods than the older iPod minis. Still, Im sure the black and silver nanos are a beaut in person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
