Here's the new iTrip for the iPod nano
And here's the one for any iPod with a dock connector (including the 5G video iPod)
An iTalk can't be far behind...

Yeah! I saw the new LCD itrip looks good but don't you think it is weird being at the bottom, it looks alot better at the top but obviously that isn't possible.
Hopefully an italk is next then i will take the plunge and get the 30gb video ipod.

@glenny: yes, the nano is amazing. The first reaction of most people is: "Is that it?" Its just soooo tiny.
Ps. Did I mention just how tiny the nano is?  |

With regards to the remote, I wouldn't get my hopes up. The 'menu' function does not work with the ipod. I think it was primarily designed for the new iMac G5 with Frontrow. I watched the webcast when Steve Jobs launched the new iPod, iMac G5 etc., and the remote function was quite impressive with the G5. You can go through all the menus and functions of Frontview, and it seemed slick. However the functionality is not the same for use with iPod+Dock+Remote. Amongst many threads see here:
http://discussions.info.apple[....]jspa?threadID=168038&tstart=15
On a general note to anyone else, I'm really happy with my new iPod, apart from: (2nd one now, first one returned due to scratching issue). Btw if you're bothered by scratches then keep the plastic film on the iPod until you can get a clear skin or case. On my first iPod 5th gen I took the film off it as soon as I opened the box. I was EXTREMELY careful when handling it, and used the included case, in fact I hardly even touched the front of it. However after 3 days there were loads of hairline scratches on it, 90% of them being vertical (caused by inserting and extracting it from the included case, which was not often). Of course these weren't major deep scratches, but I find it irritating to have a whole lot of tiny scratches on a device (which I have taken great care of) after only a couple of days.
On the bright side, when I telephoned Apple they offered me a replacement after 30 seconds (I suppose they want to avoid the negative press associated with the Nano). I have now received my replacement, and am awaiting a screen-protector I have ordered.
The scratching issue aside, this is a superb device. Great sound quality, super crisp video and generally perfect. Even when I output video on a 32inch screen it looks good (it's not dvd quality obviously, but it's clear and watchable).
All in all I could wholeheartedly recommend the new iPod. The functionality is great as is the design. If scratching bothers you, then fit a screen-protector from day one, if not then just enjoy it

Woohoo! I am going to order my ipod video tomorrow
Just thought i would let people know (especially those who are students or for people who have an nus card)  that you can get the following:
apple 30gb ipod video - £219
apple universal dock - £25
apple remote - £19
This little lot will only set you back £218.55 all you need to do is go to the apple store for education stating your college/university and then proceed to checkout and enter this promotional code IMSFPAJT54.
That means you get the whole lot for 45p cheaper than the ipod alone.
Also i was thinking of getting it engraved as seen as it if free. But i don't want to make it too personal, what to you think, should i just leave it blank?
Bargain!!!

haha thanks for that i didnt even think of checking apple.com lol
the italk seems like a great idea! wouldnt it be cool if they added a camera, and you could take video also... now THAT would be great. |

Hey cool! which one did you order?
I had a small fling with the creative zen vision recent, but my ipod remained unbeatable. I continue with it.
Anyone seen the new logitech wireless headphones for the 5G yet? I believe they're pretty good.
