6th Gen iPod Nano goes full touch-screen

bakit may ganyan ba kayo? lakas nyo makalait ah. haha.

i have a nano 6g and yes it frustrates me na walang video playback, but rumor says na pag na hack na nila to me vid playback. but over all im super satisfied naman kase me iphone naman ako so for music purposes lang habol ko sa nano.

think of it as a WATCH that has multitouch and with mp3. cool eh?

san kaya ako makakabili ng slap wristband nito… ung silicon.. pa help.. hehehe

Apple products sucks!!! id rather get a sone walk man.. di porket touch screen at malit sya convenient na sya sheesh…

natawa pa ako dun sa claim nila about gaming sa ipod compared sa DS at PSP. nakita nyo ba majority ng games ng ipod ang babaduy ilan lang ang matino at usually pang casual lang

@Joshua M

I think you misquoted Engadget on that one. That paragraph you used actually came from their iPod Touch 2010 review. They were still referring to the iPod Touch with regard to the external speakers.

Here’s a quote taken from their hands-on post of the 6th Gen iPod nano:

“There is no alarm clock, however, which as the Apple rep explained to us was a design decision given its lack of an external speaker.” – Engadget

For those wondering if the nano has a speaker, Yes as stated by engadget:

“As with the new nano, the touch did seem to sound a little better than previous versions, but it’s not such an astounding difference that you should toss your last gen model in the garbage. Overall, playback seemed solid to us — at least it didn’t leave us wanting for quality. If you’re planning on using the external speaker for listening, however, you might want to reconsider. We can’t remember the last time we heard something so tinny. Of course, it’s not surprising considering the size of this housing. Even though it’s located in a similar spot as the iPhone 4’s speaker, the volume and quality of audio it produces is not even in the same vicinity. Still, how often will you use this?” – Engadet

wala nang video playback… that’s one of the things i liked about nano… hmm… dinowngrade nila lang nila… waste of money.. dapat yan yung upgrade nung ipod shuffle….

nano was my alternative to the rather bulky ipod classic… i don’t like it….

I hope Apple would release an ipod touch with radio

Id rather stick with my wildfire

@manibela
I don’t think they’d kill the shuffle first because there’s actually a market (fitness/runners) for this.

I would say that the nano is an in between of the shuffle and the touch. It is an iPod without the iOS in a small attractive size. The added Nike fitness functionality is actually an added bonus. After all they didn’t kill the Classic line.

@Joshua M
Actually the $0.99 is for the episodes. First run HD movies are $4.99. Well AppleTV works if you are patient enough to encode your library into a format playable in iTunes :P

sana hindi ito matakaw sa energy at madaling malowbat tuland ng ipod nano 4th gen at 5th gen… mas gugustuhin ko nalang bumili nung ipod classic 160GB ung latest, kesa naman dito, ang liit kasi netong ipod nano 6th gen tapos ang mahal…

i rather buy ipod nano 5th gen because it has better features… mukhang lugi kasi ako dito eh… cant play movies, no cam, saka madaling mawala ang liit, and ang mahal huh…

ok to. ang cute tingnan.

sabi nga nung iba sana may strap! magandang wristwatch to!

@joshua, yes its the clickwheel that produced that creeking sound.
@jay, its an original ipod I bought at Abenson last july, I even brought it back to them but they said, its the sound of the clickwheel. Its very irritating when you have to adjust the volume or when you try to search a particular song. I believed ipod is not a superior product, I’d rather listen to music on my 5800xpressmusic.

disappointed with these stupid nanos maliit na nga minulti touch pa… the hell i care hehe, ipod touch 4g rocks (san kaya pupunta ngayon yang Flip Mino at Kodak Zi8 pocket video cam) and ipod shuffle too!

Apple TV maybe or not yet (torrent and p2p fileshariis ang pa rin para sa mga TV Shows and movies) hehehe

so….what do the fanboys say about this? hehehe..

@Jamby, yeah i think buying spica would give you a higher value for you money.

Bdwy guys diba Android OS v1.5 lang ung OS ng Spica? Pwde ba tong i-update to 2.1? or 2.2? Thanks!

@Alvin they left the iPod Touch to do that job and the multi-touch is for twisting.

@Jay

What I meant is…they should’ve retained at least 70 to 80% of the recent nano size and put a touch screen of the whole front face so nano users would have ample of space for short video recordings and video playback…I’ve always used the video playback of the nano since it’s really portable for watching tv episodes and some movies but I also agree with you that the small screen doesn’t fit to be video-centric but again as i’ve said the nano is too small for a multi-touch based music player…I was really hoping for a thin, chicklet type nano player with an updated hardware specs.

“Also, considering the tiny 1.7″ screen, no video playback, no mic and they even removed the camera”

@Alvin
what do you need them for bro? di ka din naman masisiyahan manood sa maliit na screen even sa dating ipod nano, get an ipod touch instead or an iPad.

@pabs
get a Bose or Senn headset o baka naman Mp4 yan nabili mo? ang maganda lang naman kasi sa ipod, one touch sync lahat, kesa copy-paste pa.. hassle, may virus pa kung minsan.

@Jamby lol you should get an iPod touch an ignore this one if you want to escape boredom. :)

@alvin A very small percent of people used the video camera on the nano so its ok

@blitzkrieg
@Joshua M

why not?? with its colored screen…it will come handy in times of boredom…besides..the poster mentioned it..why not ask him also??

@pabs lol I think you heard the clicking sound of the click wheel.

@Jamby why would you want to watch video on that screen size?

@sansan ang multi-touch lang naman sakanya is the twisting part, so no biggie.

@jay lol aanohin mo yung mic XD

masyado naman kayong negative thinkers XD

sucks

Should we call this the “iPod Touch Nano” then? I mean, the whole idea of it being called the iPod Nano is that it’s supposed to be a miniature version of the original iPod.

Oh well. I guess people would be better off having the new iPod Shuffle (sans the smallish screen) or the 8gb 4th Gen iPod Touch. This one is just disappointing. :(

I MEAN , NO WAY I’M NOT BUYING AN IPOD EVER AGAIN

no video? no mic? still yummy! makes it easier to navigate. maka order na nga.

@Jamby
Because you’d want to watch videos on a screen that small? :rolleyes” Fail.

pass…

ayoko nyan!
