Hands on with the new 8GB iPod Nano

Official release of the new line of iPods in the Philippines is reported to be this October but several units have already been spotted in stores. Here’s the new iPod Nano 8GB I just got from my favorite store. And they tell me they sells like hotcakes.

iPod Nano

Originally, I thought these 3rd generation of the iPod Nano were a little anatomically disproportionate (fat and stubby). Only after actually getting my hands on one did I realize that the form factor makes good sense. And it’s much thinner too.

For an 8GB music and video player, it justifies the wider girth for a proportional video display screen size. See size comparison with the 5.5 gen iPod video 30GB in the picture above. The Nano can also play vidcasts a lot faster and smoother than the 5.5 gen. It plays videos instantaneously and does not pause every few minutes, unlike the old one (HDD access rate maybe).

This model retails for Php11,800+ but I got it for Php10k flat. Likewise, I checked the prices of the other models in the Apple store and got these — iPod Classic 160GB at Php20,800+, iPod Classic 80GB at Php14,990+. The old 30GB iPod Video is now on sale for Php11,800.

3rd Generation Nano

Some retailers told me that although the local distributor will stock them with the new iPods next month, some store owners are more aggressive and personally shipped them straight from the US. I’m sure the iPod Touch will be out as early as next week.

  9. mr nice ash says:

    you always make me drool.

  10. ebmd says:

    where did you buy it for only 10K? i wonder how much is a brand new ipod classic 80 gb from that store?

  11. markku says:

    Wow, nice and small. And the interface looks a lot better than it used to be. Seems like a good buy. =)

  12. Blogrash Geek says:

    the new video & coverflow functionality is definitely nice, but I think the aesthetics took a big step backwards.

    I think I might get one for my girlfriend for X-mas

  13. Ade says:

    Not too crazy about the iPod touch. Now the iPod classic. That would be most love.

    the nano and the shuffle has been out since last week actually.

    and after playing with the iPod touch, i realized that this is going to be a potential “apple screws us over” product.

  15. franz says:

    actually tradeport.com.ph sells ipod 80gb silver/black for 13,200 which has a 1 year warranty and 7 day return policy. that’s more than a bargain..

  16. JohnLloy says:

    dapat ginawa nalang din nilang multi-touch screen ;)

  17. issai says:

    i still *heart* the ipod touch, a co-worker showed me, but apparently, they’re still not sold by big retailers.

  18. Aja Lapus says:

    Your 4th paragraph states, “iPod Classic 60GB.” I think it should be 160. :)

    The first photos released were all front views of the nano making it look fat. But seeing a picture from the side tells me it’s so thin, and now I want it as well. ;)
