Well anyways the industries would do themselves a big favour if the DRM-systems would be compatible, so that customers are not held hostage in one or another hardware-software-shop conglomerate. |

my shuffle has reached 45 pounds for offers.
If it hits 50 it's out of here (again, it includes a TuffWrapz and is excellent conditino because its been used once)
Anyway
@Copper, i doubt anything that has the tiny little flat tooth on an accessory will work since the Nano doesn't have that (or did I miss it?)

Your right, anything that plugs in the long wide connector on the bottom of current iPods should work with the iPod nano. Unfortunately things like the iTrip that plug in the top (headphone + other small connector) of current iPods won't work, as the iPod nano's headphones plug-in the bottom(!) and it doesn't appear to have that smaller connector.

That's what i thought, i will just stick with what i have already. it has more room anyway, i only want it because it is new and different 
Can't wait to see some pictures of it though.

ROKR sucks big time... I mean really really big time... If I were Steve Jobs during the press release, I would sort of like hurried over the ROKR announcemnet part and tarry long over the introduction of the Nano and iTunes 5...
SE W800i wins hands down... but if Apple were to design their own iphone, I would probably drop my P910 and switch... |

I agree, if apple designed a phone, then the outcome would be alot different.

Anyway... MusicMatch/WinAmp/SonicStage etc. and Windows Media/Real Player are SOOO much better...

Actually, if you chose to use iTunes to manage your iPod then you do need QuickTime - iTunes uses QuickTime to handle the audio side of things (importing AACs, converting MP3's and playing them back (QuickTime isn't just for videos)).
Try uninstalling QuickTime and see if iTunes still works!
You can, of course, manually manage your iPod using MP3's only (no DRM'd AAC) or use a third-party utility for copying tracks to it and remove iTunes & QuickTime if you want. It's your choice.
Presumably you also don't like Microsoft's marketing strategy of automatically wasting hard drive space with Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player on every PC, even though there are many (much better) alternatives?
You pays yer money and takes yer choice. You chose an iPod and Apple software!
