Hmm i was going to get a video ipod but the stupid accessories going into the dock puts me right off.

I may buy ones of these puppies

That thing took some abuse, can't believe dropping it killed it off

Hmm a pretty expensive test if you ask me. Maybe apple paid them to do it? So that they could get people "over" the delicate-screen thing/rumour i wouldnt doubt it....

no they still recommend all nano owners buy a screen protector. i personally think they should include a protector as standard but hey

Posted by haynesycop
i agree for the price then its expected, well you would think so anyway.

Posted by 50Cent
yeh... but you cant even BUY a good protector.. they're all pretty crap if you ask me

Posted by batesie
well i guess you might as well buy a (scratch resistant) Sony HD5 20Gb

Lol i read this a few weeks ago too, and the "how to increase HDD to 100GB from 4GB".... was funny, battery life drops for 10 hours to like 6 seconds with a 100GB HDD... funny

sony should have some kind of click wheel because with that amount of storage you need to be able to scroll through tracks quickly

never needed the wheel! the HD 5 has all the same ways of looking up the track you need, and also an Initial search.

you just hold the button down (or up) and it switches from slow scroll to medium scroll to fast scroll!!! i can find any track in seconds on mine....

Can't stand sonic stage...

i feel the same about itunes!

Posted by Chazzer3
really?

I find iTunes so intuitive and simple,

oh well, personal preference I suppose!
