I'm looking forward to replace my sony 1gig-mp3 player (still unbeaten battery-life of 72h!) with a ipod nano because it doesn't work under osx but I haven't seen any non-apple photos of the new nanos. Are there any at all?
Hmm, before these new ipod-nanos, Apple's nano was losing big time against Samsung's "Z5-player". It had equal if not better sound, had a scratch-secure-metal case and most important its rechargeable battery could keep going for 35 hours. The only downside was that it was slightly less comfortable in selecting the tracks, but otherwise it was the big winner and less expensive.
Now the new nanos are about equal in price, have also a scratch-secure case and the batteries can go for 24 hours, compared to the previous 12 hours a real improvement, although not quite on the level of the samsung z5-player.
So, thumbs up for getting the nano competitive again, but thumbs-down for the lack of recording-capabilities and thumbsdown for the very gayish colours in the middle-model.
Nonetheless nothing beats my favourite player/recorder, the Sony Hi-Minidisc MZ-RH 10. It's simply brilliant to have a portable recording-machine that has an openended capacity! Every disc offers 1 GB, and 7$/per disc is cheap enough, and I can edit every track on the discs without a computer, can erase tracks, combine tracks, rename tracks... and the sound in Hi-SP-mode is better than the sound of the nano, not to speak of the sound in full PCM-mode(ie. completely uncompressed)! Of course to really appreciate the sound I had to ditch the accompanying ear-speakers and use really good hifi-stereo-headphones, it is a difference of night and day (compared to the use of the accompanying ear-phones, not compared to the nano).
My SonyEricsson T630 took a little soak in the washing machine. 10 minutes was enough to kill it. DAMN FUCKING BLOODY SHITE if they had released the frickin' iPodPhone it would be just nice for me to get a new superb iPodPhone.
Passen Sie den integrierten Equalizer für Ihre Songs an oder begrenzen Sie die maximale Lautstärke. Alles, was Sie brauchen ? von Hintergrundbeleuchtung bis zur Wiedergabegeschwindigkeit von Hörbüchern ? ist im Menü "Einstellungen" zu finden.
As mentioned before, this quote is from the swiss site, under the section "Einstellungen" (Preferences). It says "Everything you need, from display-backlight, to the playback-speed [...] can be found and set up here.
Display-backlight is talking about "timer" - How long before the screen dims after you choose a song. AFAIK it is this, not that you can adjust the brightness of the screen...

Hey Sunilraman, is that your thumb in the mock up
He doesn't have a thumb.

Surely he must have a thumb but perhaps not an opposable one

Some people are all thumbs, but Sunil...well.
Apple's biggest competitor, Sony (they wish), has news about their latest Walkman (almost) about to hit the streets:

It's been a bad month for them, hasn't it?

Can you all guess the finger that's working fine right now? ..I.. <- get it?
Apple has always had a white ipod on their large hard drive players line.
Yes but if the next iPod is going to be all screen that won't matter anymore.
Here's a side by side comparision:

Is there a brightness control?
I think the iPods (old nano, 5.0G) are way too bright when used in the dark.

Yes, that's what I've read on the official swiss apple-site.

Can you provide a link? I can't find that info

Oh well, I'll just wait another year until they have a 16 gig nano to replace my 3G
You're right, I just checked the english-site and there it's obvious. Very misleading and a bit poor not to offer such a feature..
