New iPod

Well I desperately need a new iPod, but I'm not sure which one to get, and since I'm sure there are tons of Apple and iPod experts around here I figured I'd ask.

Here are the choices I've narrowed it down to and their ups and downs:

Nano 4th Generation - Not too big, not too small, reasonable price range for me right now, overall it's the middle man of my choices.

iTouch 3rd generation - A bit clunky, not very good for running, and I might need to sacrifice that new camera I've been hoping for, but has lots of extra features.

Shuffle 3rd generation - Best size for running, but no menu button, and easily broken controls (my friend claims to have a way around that), but the cheapest out of my choices.

Which would you choose and why?

If you want you can use this thread as a debate over the iPods.

I think you should get the Nano 4th Generation.

It is the best of the three and is most worth getting.

Get the Nano :) Bleehhh = Shuffle. Personally, I would get an iPod Touch but I don't run.

If you want to pay a lot and not get "the camerea", go for the Touch. Those are all respectable iPods but the Touch is the best. The Nano is great with size and has good features also, but the Shuffle is only good for size I think personally.

Just to let you know, the iTouch isn't that bad for doing sports with. I'm able to go bicycling with it and I've had minimal difficulty. As for choosing between the nano or shuffle, I have neither so my opinion wouldn't be that good.

IT'S NOT AN ITOUCH FOR THE BILLIONTH TIME!!!

Call it iPod Touch. Okay? Okay.

And get it, too, because it really isn't that "clunky" and is a lot better for everything else including games and such.

Get the iPod Touch then jailbreak it and you have the perfect iPod ok?

But you'll have to wait some time for the 3rd Gen I think it's coming out in September or in the summer and I'm not sure it can be jailbroken maybe yes since Apple made 3 devices(iPod Touch,iPhone 2G,iPhone 3G) that could be jailbroken and they tried to make the iPod Touch 2G un-jailbreakable but they couldn't.I think the new iPhone and iPod Touch will have the same hardware as the iPod Touch 2G.

Yes why do you think Apple is making 3.0?

Subject: Re: New iPod May 16th 2009, 2:34 pm

Huh 3.0 what? I'm so confused.

Super-Human Posts : 3251 Registration date : 2008-02-16

3.0 Firmware.

See, it's always a lowercase 't'.

Anyway, I'd go for the iPod touch. The apps make it by far the best choice.

Umm... who cares? The disturbing thing is calling it an iTouch, it is not disturbing to capitilize things.
