    I think they are weird/bad for a few reasons:

    1. They are rounded, even the screen, making glare a bigger problem, and its just funky.

    2. They are super widescreen because the screen is so tall, its stupid, you should just turn it sideways making it funky again...

    Have you ever even looked at one IRL?
    The screen isnt really curved.
    And the screen isn't super widescreen. Widescreen is horizontal, not vertical.

    I don't think there's too much of a difference from the previous nanos.
    At least, not enough for me to even consider upgrading. I do like the new colors though :D

    It would feel nicer being curved but I think the screen will take some getting used to.

    You have to play them widescreen or it will be stretched out and the screen has a slight curve as the whole thing is rounded.

    EDIT: I think you do at least... you might be right...

    If your into gaming you can use a PSP or NDS as a mp3 player. I currently use my NDS to play my mp3's and I have over 300 songs right now.

    NDS are big though...this is smaller and more convenient.
    Theres also a big difference with the GUI on the new nanos.
    Overall, its making me upgrade lol.

    Another thing to make spoiled kids beg for it for x-mas. Nothing special :)
    But then again if I didn't have an ipod already i'd buy one just for the sake of the new colors 8D
    *foams*

    P.S - IS IT JUST ME OR DID THEY MAKE THE BLUE DARKER THAN THE ORIGINAL NANOS? :eek:
    I kinda like it that way xD

    I like the older ones much better. The layout on the new isn't that pretty .

    Actually the only thing that was attractive about them to me was the new colors and what not.
    Also I think they darkened the shade of blue on it now. It's not as bright as it used to be.

    It is purely for the posh, nothing really special about them. I will go with my NDS... I have a 4 gig card which hold plenty of music... And games. Be smart.

    I'm disappointed that they didn't include new Classics, but then again i would not have gotten one anyways. I got the 160GB last year, and I'm not getting a new one for a long. long. long time. I only have about 2000 songs and a few hours of video. My laptop does not even have 20 GBs left... No way I'm filling this iPod up unless I start uploading whole video clips of my entire day. every day. for about a month. x_x

    Apple just want to make money.
    That's why they are releasing new Ipods every year, and that's why they have many ads.

    And that's why everybody is buying their s**t*.
