i just want a goddamn portable brick that will store gigs upon gigs of music and that has descetly low impedance for my headphones, can double as a portable harddrive, and that has a long battery life
i dont need any features
i think they should just perfect that standard ipod
Agreed. Instead of cramming more and more crap into it,why don't they just improve the standard music-playing features of it.
8GB Nano tho.. hmmm.

I hate everything that has to do with Apple Computers, from their comps to iPODs .... false advertising and full of lies.
Even if someone gave me a NANO, I'll refuse it for sure. iTUNES must burn in hell!

There currently isn't a way to sniff out what you are sending, so we wrap it all up in DRM. We can’t tell if you are sending a song from a known band or your own home recording so we default to the safety of encoding. And besides, she'll come see you three days later. . .
Podcasts, recordings, creative common files, etc? Hello? MS? not everyone is a pirate. Treat your customers with some respect...oh wait. n/m

I personally wouldn't use ANY device that wouldn't let me drag & drop folders straight from Windows Explorer. All these companies can choke on their DRM-bundling crap.

Goddamn people, you don't have to use iTunes with iPods. My 1st-gen 5GB allows drag & drop
Also, the Zune Marketplace is to the Zune what iTunes Music Store is to the iPods.
Microsoft will rock the market with the Zune, but clearly won't dethrone Apple from the top spot.
