Just got my new iPOD nano

It is absolutely AWESOME! Color screen...2GB...ability to upload pics...ability to upload up to 500 songs & a $199 price tag. Best feature...it weighs just about nothing. When I was picking mine up at Best Buy, the slaesman puled out the display and threw it on the ground. I was like WTF!? He proceeds to tell me that it's not only shock proof, but those fab guys over at Apple drove a car over it and threw it to the ground from 40 ft up...no problems. So after banging it around myself...I was sold. Great for the gym!
Word.

hope you didn't buy the one that he threw on the ground. when i was a photog, cf cards were supposed to withstand 20G's of force. i guess i took that for granted and the card died within 6 months. luckily, i was able to get a new one for free and the newspaper saved my *** by giving me one in the meantime. even though they're supposed to be bulletproof, they're really not. but congrats on the nano. it's sweet.

Heh heh, $369 for a brand new Dell, fully loaded! I ordered it online from the Military store...no more using my roomies POS laptop.
Dimension 2400 Series: Intel® Celeron® Processor (2.40GHz, 400 FSB)
Memory: 512MB DDR SDRAM at 400MHZ
Monitor: 17 inch E773 (16 inch viewable) Conventional CRT
Hard Drive: 80GB

Fine for just surfing the net and simple stuff I guess.

The nano:
Holy shiznit! It's my girl..on my iPOD...wooooah.

I custom build my pc's as soon as this new heatsink comes in Ill be up and running with a slick new setup.

I like my 20gb ipod, recent generation. Thouse nanos are really slick little gadget. Word of advise never use apple software (esp itunes) its quite the flamming piece of crap. I use winamp to sync the ipod, w/ the plugin.

Damn that looks so nice! I've held off and stuck with my CD player for so long, but with this and a lot of other MP3 players out there, I dont think I'll last much longer!

And I too have a custom computer that I built myself and I love it!

Heh, I used this at work yesterday like 4 times. I work at a Best Buy and the Nanos are going out the door like crazy. I remembered reading about it not having any moving parts in it, but I didn't know it was virtually indestructible. Anyway, it's awesome seeing people's jaws drop when you purposely throw a $200 gadget on the ground
